Ashley Carroll got off to a strong start in the women’s trap event in Baku opening with a 24 in her first round and following it up with a 23 before falling a bit short of finals qualification in round three. Carroll would have needed a 24 to automatically reach the final and a 23 to get into a shoot-off but her 22 left her just short in 11th place. It was the second top-15 finish of the year for Carroll.

In the men’s trap competition Seth Inman and Ryne Baxter Barfield were both off the pace of qualification. Both shot a 68 and sit outside the top 40. 20 competitors shot a 70 or better so even with perfect 50s tomorrow it is a long shot either could reach the final held later in the day.

The ISSF World Cup in Baku will continue through Tuesday.
