Does anyone have a diagram or can give the specs on building an international trap bunker. We want to build one for our existing trap club.
 
Not 100% sure about int. trap layout but if memory serves me correct it requires 15 trap machines!!!! Even this may have changed due to advancements in target throwers.
 
Do you have US$50,000+ to spend?

Do you have US$50,000+ to spend?

Check out this link:

http://www.internationalshotgun.com/info_docs/building_bunker.htm

It details a clubs efforts to build the 20th International Trap (or Olympic Trap, they are the same) bunker. Good pictures and a helpful narrative.

They got most of the funds from their state (PA) government! Imagine that happening here...

You can also contact this Canadian group for help:

Best of luck!
 
Memory serves you correctly!I don't think that you can build a bunker trap field for under $150,000 in Canada at the present time.I hope that Sigs club has a lot of money to spend.1 Pat wobble trap and a new trap house cost us almost $15,000 to install with mostly volunteer labour.

Well that's different.An International Trap field and a wobble trap setup are two different things.As I previously posted,we did ours for about $15,000.Actually,the trap was donated by a generous benefactor which was really nice and made it easy on the club pocketbook.We had to pay for concrete and the steel bunker top but the total outlay by all parties involved came to about $15K.
Any wobble trap setup that I've seen simply uses a regulation ATA or PITA trap fan and bunker.

You will not find Continental trap in the ISSF rule book, or in the ATA's either. The game is practice for international trap, where no actual bunker exists. As such, there is no international set of guidelines to follow. Keep the target speed and angles within the range set for international trap, keep the bunker roof level with the ground and keep the shooters at international trap distances. The game will then fulfill its purpose.

Sigs, Strathcona Range in Edmonton has a nicely installed Continental trap range, and they probably still have the blueprints for it (http://www.strathconashootingrange.ca/). If nothing else, they could provide measurements.

Sorry, didn't read "between the lines", or the whole post for that matter.
My apologies for "going off half-cocked", as it were.

Was responding simply to the origianl post, which said
"international trap bunker".

I agree, you won't find anything about Wobble/Continenta/Compak in the ISSF rule book, nor Helice or ZZ for that matter, either. All fun stuff.
