Whats the difference between skeet and trap shooting?

Answer 1

In trap shooting, the shooter stands 16 yards behind the throwing station. Clay pigeons are then thrown forward, either 1 or 2 at a time. In skeet the shooter rotates between 8 shooting positions that are located in a half-circle pattern. Clay pigeons are thrown from 2 throwing stations, so the angles and direction of the pigeons vary every time.

Answer 2

Yes, although they both use clay pigeons.

Skeet is one launcher and you shoot the targets, skeet involves multiple launchers and set positions from which to fire from, it is more organized and a bit more skill is involved as multiple shots are necessary, the shotguns typically only hold 2 shells and are break open style.
