Shooting – Women's trap at the 2015 Pan American Games
The women's trap shooting event at the 2015 Pan American Games was held on July 13 at Pan Am Shooting Centre in Innisfil. The event consisted of three rounds: a qualifier, a semifinal and a medal round. In the qualifier, each shooter fired three sets of 25 targets in trap shooting, with 10 targets being thrown to the left, 10 to the right, and five straight-away in each set. The shooters could take two shots at each target. The top six shooters in the qualifying round moved on to the semifinal, where they fired one additional round of 15 targets and only one shot could be taken at each target. The top two qualified to dispute the gold medal, and the third and fourth qualified to disputed the bronze medal. Ties are broken using a shoot-off; additional shots are fired one at a time until there is no longer a tie.
The winners of all fifteen events, along with the runner up in the men's air rifle, skeet, trap and both women's rifle events would qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (granted the athlete had not yet earned a quota for their country).
