Bunker Trap

---

 Also known as International Trap or Olympic Trap, Bunker is the official trapshooting discipline of the Olympics. Bunker was included in the Olympics for the first time in 1900. The sport is governed globally by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), with USA Shooting being recognized as the governing body within the United States.

While Bunker and American Trap share similar names, the disciplines are quite different. Bunker also has five shooting stations, but rather than having only one machine in a trap house, it has fifteen fixed machines housed in a bunker. The targets fly faster and at a wider angle than American Trap, which makes it considerably more difficult.

In the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, USA’s Mixed Trap team (Madelynn Bernau and Brian Burrows) took home the Bronze medal, while Kayle Browning took the Silver medal for Women’s Trap.
