To oversimplify, trap's going away shots and skeet(From the Norwegian word for shoot) is crossing shots. Trap guns are choked tight for a dense pattern farther out,and stocked to shoot a little high. Skeet guns tend to very open chokes, and shooting to POA.

Both are fun.So's Sporting Clays, which some folks liken to loud golf. That presents a number of different clay targets thrown in diverse ways and speeds.
