The women's trap shooting event at the 2015 Pan American Games was held on July 13 at Pan Am Shooting Centre in Innisfil.[1] The event consisted of three rounds: a qualifier, a semifinal and a medal round. In the qualifier, each shooter fired 3 sets of 25 targets in trap shooting, with 10 targets being thrown to the left, 10 to the right, and 5 straight-away in each set. The shooters could take two shots at each target. The top 6 shooters in the qualifying round moved on to the semifinal, where fired one additional round of 15 targets and only one shot could be taken at each target. The top 2 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.
