Bunker Trap, also referred to as ISSF Olympic Trap is a clay target sport shot in the Olympics.  Shooters shoot 5 targets from 5 positions for a total of 25 targets in a round of Bunker Trap. The shooter will get two right, two left, and one straight target from each position.  Target presentation is in random order. 

There are a total of 15 traps (3 for each position) configured in a fixed throwing direction such that one trap throws right, another left, and the third straight.  Although the traps are fixed, they are set with in a defined range of throwing angles and are not the same presentation from point-to-point.
