American trap (16yds, and handicap) only allow 1 shell in the gun per target. It's a safety rule. It's been that way for as long as I can remember. American doubles of course is two shots. Bunker, Skeet, and Sporting Clays are a 2 shot game.
Copied from the ATA Rule Book:
12.
A contestant shall place a live shell in his/her gun only when on a post
facing the traps. In Singles and Handicap shooting he/she may place
only one (1) live shell in his/her gun at a time and must remove it or
the empty shell(s) before moving from one post to another. In Doubles
shooting he/she may place two (2) live shells in his/her gun at a time
and must remove both live or empty shells before moving from one (1)
post to another. In changing from one (1) post to another, the shooter
shall not walk in front of the other competitors.
