When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

btw: Skeet is NOT synonymous to "clay pigeon shooting" -when we are referring to... competitions. :))
Trap shooting is one of the three major forms of competitive clay pigeon shooting (shotgun shooting at clay target). The others are -----Skeet shooting and sporting clays).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_target
Clay targets also known as clay pigeons or skeet, are discs, made of pitch used in clay pigeon shooting including skeet shooting or trapshooting as moving targets. They are brightly coloured (usually orange or yellow) so as to be as visible as possible. Certain types of clay targets also reflect light, giving the disc a glimmering shine that can assist visibility.
Both sports use a shotgun, and are sub-classified by the type of game the clay target represents (pigeon, rabbit, etc.). The two primary methods of projecting clay targets are airborne and ground (rolling.) Rolling or "rabbit" style is usually considered the more difficult.
Clay targets are thrown after the shooter calls "pull," or something similar. This convention is not only for safety, but also allows the shooter to prepare for the moving target.
Naturally, the simplest method of throwing a clay target is by hand, either into the air or along the ground. This method is somewhat dangerous, as the person throwing has to be near the person firing the shotgun. A multitude of devices have been invented or appropriated to make this task safer and more reliable. A plastic sling-like device is the simplest, though modern shooting ranges will usually have machines that throw the clay targets in consistent arcs at the push of a button.
Το clay pigeon το Oxford Personal το αποδίδει ως τεχνητό περιστέρι αλλά δε μου πολυαρέσει.
