Many said of Paul Turner’s round that it was the finest show of trap shooting they’d ever seen, with every target convincingly broken. Robert Clarke posted a 100/299 on Sunday morning to take the top spot on the leader board for the English Open, and with the gusty wind looked to be a score that would be hard to beat.

Others use an abacus, where a metal plate is turned for each shot to indicate a hit or a loss. The referees are normally selected from the squad that has just shot. They will stay behind and referee the following squad. Another major DTL/ABT difference is the target trajectory. The ABT trap is set in the ground, instead of in a trap house above ground like DTL. The clay DIFFERENCES BETWEEN is thrown to 70 metres, inside an angle of 30 degrees either side of the centre line, and at a height of 1.5 to 3.5 metres above the trap house roof.
