It's definitely not trap although they are shooting over a standard trap house. It looks like a 5 team flurry, they are all shooting randomly. The trap is not osculating so it's trowing the same target path over and over again as fast as possible.

I recognize Sparrow Young with the round glasses and the suspenders and Mark Arie. Mark Arie was one of 3 who won Olympic gold in trapshooting for the USA. James Graham won in 1912, and my friend Don Haldeman won in Montreal in 1976.

When I was a teen, I set trap at my local club. I'll always remember that Winchester trap had a half moon platten and a skinny throwing arm. There was a pin driven by a solenoid that would come up and stop the arm rotation allowing you to put the bird on the trap. This damn pin would sometimes not come up in time and the arm would not stop. Scares the hell out of you when this happens. You learn real quick to come straight down from overhead when you place the bird on the trap!
