Talk:Trap shooting

message: The "Olympic Trap" section of this article doesn't really seem to comply with WP:SUMMARY, being longer than the text in the main Olympic Trap article. Shouldn't most of what's in the section be merged into that article? -- Jao 07:46, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Olympic Trap section 

message: I think this section needs to be elaborated on. To say that one type of trap is "easier" than another sounds too subjective for me, not to mention that there is no description of what is involved in it. 76.169.36.21 (talk) 21:05, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nordic trap 

message: Nowhere in the article is it explained how the apparatus that releases the trap operates, or what it looks like.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Royalaxation (talk • contribs) 01:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Editing request for trap shooting 

message: I just tagged as "dubious" the claim that:
:Fake birds were introduced around the time of the American Civil War as the Passenger Pigeon was nearing extinction and sufficient numbers were not reliably available.
This claim seriously contradicts the Passenger Pigeon article, which says that passenger pigeons were still abundant in vast numbers at the end of the US Civil War (1865), but then the population collapsed suddenly between 1870 and 1890.
I also requested a cite for the claim that:
:Clay targets were introduced in the 1880s.
because other sources state that live pigeons were still used in the 1920s; however, perhaps both were used together for a long time? I don't know, but a proper cite should clarify. -- 202.63.39.58 (talk) 11:17, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Champion shooters 

message: It seems like this article lacks a clear description of what exactly trap shooting is. If I had never heard of the sport, I would come away with only a vague idea. At the very least, I think the introduction should contain a short, concise paragraph describing the activity, and how it differs from the other types of clay pigeon shooting. A good place for this would be after the first paragraph, which ends with "Within each discipline, there are variations." also, I think an illustration, picture, or diagram somewhere on the page would be very helpful.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kellenwright (talk • contribs) 23:27, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Description of trap shooting 

message: While there is a lot of overlap between a section of this article and this site, without clear-cut dates to confirm which came first, there is evidence that the Wikipedia article created first. See MRG discussion for more details.
While the evidence is short of definitive, and the conclusion should be reversed if other, solid evidence is uncovered, on balance it seems likely that the material was added here first, so I have added the Backwardscopy template.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 14:04, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyright review.  

message: Doesn't the person who launches the clay pigeon have a title? I would suspect it's something like "track puller," but I don't see it anywhere in the article. If it isn't there, shouldn't it be in there somewhere? __209.179.21.14 (talk) 22:16, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Trap puller, especially when they are doing only that.    Less so when they are doing two jobs at once.....e.g. that and keeping score. North8000 (talk) 18:42, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
