The firearm of choice for this task is usually a high-quality, double-barreled over and under shotgun with to inch barrels and very open chokes. Often, shooters will choose an improved cylinder choke one with a tighter pattern or a skeet choke one with a wider pattern , but this is a matter of preference. Some gun shops refer to this type of shotgun as a skeet gun. Skeet chokes are designed to be a inch circle at 21 yards distance.
Alternatively a sporting gun or a trap gun is sometimes used. These have longer barrels up to 34 inches and tighter choke. Many shooters of American skeet and other national versions use semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns.
The event is in part meant to simulate the action of bird hunting. Essentially, hunters find themselves shooting from many varying angles in actual hunting scenarios. In skeet shooting, the goal is to hit two clay targets that are crossing one another. Two target machines are placed 40 meters apart, one at 10 feet high known as the high house and one at 3. Both targets rise to a maximum height of 15 feet by the time they reach the field's center. Shooters aim from seven positions on a semi-circular field, with each shooter firing a total of 25 rounds.
Traditionally, 17 targets are singles and eight are doubles. There are two common types of skeet shooting — American and International skeet shooting. The American version has no delay after the shooter has called for the targets.
Further, the American version fires its targets slower than the International version and in a different order. International skeet shooting has a delay between zero and three seconds after the shooter calls for the target. In addition to trap and skeet, sporting clays is a third popular shotgun shooting discipline.
Because of the varying terrain and random nature of the targets, this version is considered one of the most realistic bird hunting simulations. Ready to try skeet or trap?
