Skeet is another traditional shooting sport that is all about crossing targets. We have two skeet fields to shoot, so you usually won’t need to wait to get in the rotation. In skeet, there are two target throwers positioned across from each other on the field. One is the “low house” and the other is the “high house”. Shooters will begin at a the first station on the arc between the two houses, taking turns shooting at singles and doubles. Since the throwers don’t move, the challenge comes from the difference in height, trajectory, and the shooter’s position. Each round of Skeet features 25 targets.

After the targets are thrown for the shooter at a station, the shooter moves around the halfmoon to the next station, which presents a different look at the targets. Since the targets are crossing and at different heights, the shooter will have to gauge the best way to shoot the targets at that position. After the first miss, a shooter is presented with the same target again. Here’s the shooting sequence:

• Station 1: High House Single, Low House Single, High & Low House Pair
• Station 2: High House Single, Low House Single, High & Low House Pair
• Station 3: High House Single, Low House Single
• Station 4: High House Single, Low House Single
• Station 5: High House Single, Low House Single
• Station 6: High House Single, Low House Single, High & Low House Pair
• Station 7: High House Single, Low House Single, High & Low House Pair
• Station 8: High House Single, Low House Single
  • If a shooter has not missed any shots, then a second low house single is thrown for the 25th target.
