Crai Pigeon Shooting is an outdoor sport in which an upside-down circular disc made of limestone and pitch used as a target is propelled into the air by a machine called a trap. Shooters use a shotgun to project hundreds of small lead balls on each shot to hit the clay pigeon.
Sports are not usually considered dangerous as long as safety measures are followed.
