Shotgun Coaching & Firearm Instruction

Skeet

Skeet is a fast paced, fun shotgun sport where an individual or group shoot 2 clay targets from 8 different stations positioned around a half-circle field.

Skeet Field at the National Shooting Complex

A skeet squad consists of 1 to 5 shooters with each shooter taking shots at targets thrown from a 10 foot elevated trap known as the high house, a trap located 3 feet above ground level known as the low house, and a true pair of targets from both traps depending upon the current station.

In skeet, the path of the clay targets is always the same. The path of each clay target flies through a hoop or over a stake midway between the houses.

Because the flight paths remain the same, the variety and challenge in skeet comes from moving between stations so the target presentations are different.

International skeet is very similar to standard skeet, however, there are some minor rule differences between the two sports.

The United States Olympic shooting team has a history of skeet medals:
