The Game of Skeet By Barry Greenberg

Squads of up to five people shoot from eight shooting stations arranged in a semi circle between two skeet houses. One is identified as the high house and the other as the low house. The high house targets start at approximately 10 feet above the ground with the low house targets at approximately a 3 foot height. The shooting sequence is as follows:

Stations I and 2: High house single: Low house single; High house/Low house pair
Stations 3, 4 and 5: High house single; Low house single.
Stations 6 and 7: High house single; Low house single; Low house/High house pair.
Station 8: High house single; Low house single.

The 25th shot, completing the round, is taken immediately after the first miss or with 24 consecutive targets broken as a second single target at low house 8.

Skeet may be shot with any gauge gun (of almost any type) as long as it is capable of firing two shells. Number 9 shot is used for virtually all gauges. http://www.mynssa.com/Whether you are a new gun owner or shooter or hunter in search of training, NRA's Education & Training Division is here to help you find a course to meet your needs.Take a look at a nice sport clay gun.
