Skeet

1) In the American version, Skeet clays are 4 5 ⁄ 16 inches in diameter, 1 1 ⁄ 8 inches thick (same as trap clays) and fly a distance of 62 yards.
2) The gun of choice is usually an over and under shotgun with 26- to 30-inch barrels and very open chokes. Skeet chokes are designed to pattern a 30-inch circle at 21 yards.
3) Skeet can be played with a semi-auto or pump gun, but it is more difficult.
4) Skeet has eight shooting stations and two trap houses. Seven of the stations are arranged in a half moon between the two trap houses, and one station is directly between them. The house on the left is the “High House” and the one on the right is the “Low House”.
5) The “High House” launches targets 10 feet above the ground and rise to a height of 15 feet by the time it reaches the center of the field.
6) The “Low House” launches targets 3 ½ feet above the ground and it also raises to a height of 15 feet by mid-field.
7) A round of skeet consists of 25 targets, with 17 shot as singles and 8 as doubles. The first miss is repeated immediately and is called an option (or Mulligan). If no targets are missed during the round, the last or 25th target is shot at the last station, low house 8. The shooting sequence is as follows: 
    A) Stations 1 and 2: High house single; Low house single; High house/Low house pair, High house               shot taken first.
    B) Stations 3, 4, and 5: High house single; Low house single
    C) Stations 6 and 7: High house single; Low house single; Low house/High house pair, Low house               shot taken first.
    D) Station 8: High house single (and a Low house single if no targets have been missed
