Skeet is a game played on a semicircular, level field. Eight shooting stations are located around the field, and targets are thrown from two houses on opposing sides. The house on the left, referred to as the "High House" is tall and throws the targets from left to right. The house on the right, referred to as the "Low House" is short and throws targets from right to left. As the shooter moves from station to station, the relative angle of targets change from incoming and outgoing, to crossing.
Squads of about five shooters take their turns from each of the eight shooting stations. At stations 1, 2, 6, and 7 a shooter calls for a single target from the "High House", then a single target from the "Low House", and completes his/her turn by calling for "Doubles". (Both targets thrown at the same time). At stations 3, 4, 5, and 8, a shooter calls only for a single target from each of the houses and does not shoot Doubles. |

At many facilities they include two (2) skeet fields, in addition to Sporting Clays ranges. A unique feature of their equipment enables single shooters to select a 3-second delay mode, which allows persons to practice by themselves, without a "puller," if no other shooters are present. Skeet is great practice for beginner shooters, however, if fields are full, training is not allowed on the Skeet fields. In this case, we recommend training on the Trap field or at some of the easier Sporting Clay stations.

A Trap field has five stations arching around the trap house. The trap house will throw out single targets in five different, random, outgoing angles. A shooter calls for five independent targets at each station for a 25 target round. To add a twist to the game, you may set our machine for "Wobble Trap" which varies the targets even more!
