 Skeet shooting - Discover The Outdoors
“Skeet” is an old Scandinavian word meaning “shoot.” And most of the time when someone mentions skeet shooting they are referring to American-style skeet, thus distinguishing it from International skeet, which is the Olympic form of the sport and much more difficult.
Regardless of the style you develop, simply moving the gun to a point ahead of the target and stopping as you fire is not enough.
A round starts when the first shooter takes position on station 1 and shoots the high house target and then the low house target.
