Definition
Wobble, also known as wobble trap, is a variation of standard trap shooting where the trap machine moves both horizontally and vertically, launching targets at random angles and elevations. This creates a less predictable and more challenging shooting experience.
Further Explanations
Unlike traditional trap, where clays are thrown within a fixed arc and elevation, wobble trap adds vertical movement to simulate more realistic and erratic bird flight patterns. Key characteristics include:
-
Target unpredictability: Clays vary in both left-right direction and up-down height
-
Faster pace: Shooters must react quickly and rely on instinct
-
Positioning: Usually shot from five stations, as in American trap, but with a heightened difficulty curve
Wobble is popular for practice and training, as it forces shooters to improve their reaction time, gun mount, and target tracking.
