Trap, in which India won this team medal, belongs to which category of shooting?
- A.Rifle
- B.Pistol
- C.Shotgun
- D.Archery
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is shotgun. Trap is one of the shotgun events in competitive shooting: the athlete fires at clay targets that are flung away from the firing stand at speed, and the discipline rewards quick reaction, steady aim and concentration held over a long series of shots. Options A and B, rifle and pistol, are the other two broad categories of the sport, and they are contested at fixed paper or electronic targets rather than at moving clay ones, so neither describes Trap. Option D, archery, is not a shooting sport of this kind at all, since it uses a bow rather than a firearm and is governed separately. Remembering that Trap and Skeet are the shotgun events is a useful way to sort the disciplines quickly in the examination hall.
