| Brief History of Skeet Shooting in the USA |
|
| The game of Skeet came a few years after trap shooting. It was
invented in Massachusetts in 1920, by a man hoping to improve his
wing shooting abilities. There have been many refinements to the
game of Skeet since that time. Typically American Skeet is the
variety played in the United States. A skeet field has 8 shooting
positions and two traps. The targets are thrown from the "High
House" on the left side of the field, and from the "Low
House" on the right side of the field. These "houses "
are simply structures that hold the traps, or target launchers. The
targets have a distinct flight path. In Skeet, only one shooter
holds the shooting position at a time. Each shooters shoots a
sequence of birds from 8 stations from a "high house" and
a "low house." Skeet also has a format where different
gauge shotguns are used. Using 12 gauge, 20 gauge, 28 gauge and .410
bore guns lends a great deal of variety to the game. |
