Skeet

Regular skeet is shot in a "round" of 25 shots at targets thrown from a high house and a low house, and the shooter rotates from station-to-station around the semicircular skeet field.  Since pairs are shot at several stations, a shotgun that loads two shells is reqired.  The eight stations on a skeet field are shot as follows:

Station 1: Shoot a high house single, followed by a low house single.  This is followed by a pair of doubles....shooting at the high house target first.

Station 2: Same targets and procedure as Station 1.

Station 3: Shoot only a pair of singles ... high house first.

Station 4: Same targets and procedure as Station 3.

Station 5: Shoot only a pair of singles ... high house first.

Station 6: Shoot a high house single, followed by a low house single.  This is followed by a pair of doubles ... shooting at low house target first.

Station 7: Same targets and procedure as Station 6.

Station 8: Shoot only a pair of singles ... high house first.

Upon the shooters first missed target, an "option" shot is taken at the target missed.  If no targets are missed, the option is taken at an additional low house target on station 8.
