Skeet

The targets emerge from a high house (PULL) on the left and a low house (MARK) on the right that face one another 40 metres apart. Skeet targets have a defined and constant trajectory. Participants move through a semi-circular range featuring 8 shooting stations, running from one house to the other. Participants shoot “simples” (single clay thrown from either PULL or MARK), or “doubles” (clays thrown simultaneously from both houses). As each target is released, the shooter is allowed one shot. A match of skeet consists of 125 targets, shot in five rounds of 25. After the qualification round of 125 targets, the top six competitors advance to a 25 “flash” clay targets final round. The target, affixed to a rail, move from right to left and left to right in front of the shooter in two different speeds, slow (5 seconds) and fast (2.5 seconds). The target must absolutely be hit at every passing. Competitors must hold their shotguns at hip level until the target appears.
