Shooting Skeet

[Robo]

I've been watching some skeet videos on you tube but am still confused on the order in wich you have to shoot them?From what I've watched on station 1 you have..... Single High Tower followed by a single on Low Tower followed by a pair?? on the pair am I right in thinking you have to shoot High bird first??Maybe I should stick to Sporting /wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-confused.gif Rob

Hi Robo, It depends which discipline you have been watching for for English Skeet the shooting order is as follows: 1, Single High, Single Low then a simmo pair High bird to be shot first.2, Single High, Single Low then a simmo pair High bird to be shot first.3, Single High, Single Low.4, Single High, Single Low then a simmo pair, you have to nominate which bird you will shoot first.  Fail to nominate and you will forfeit the pair.5, Single High, Single Low.6, Single High, Single Low then a simmo pair Low bird to be shot first.7, Single Low, Single High then a simmo pair Low bird to be shot first. You always repeat your first miss, this is your "Option" bird, if you have shot straight to 7 and then hit them all you take either a Single High or Single Low which you nominate. Hope that helps, Jon.

Cheers Jon, thats clears it up /wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-smile.gifThe ones I've been watching have a station 8 (in the middle) where you shoot high bird then turn round to shoot low bird, so I guess that not English Skeet? Rob

That could be Olympic or NSSA (American Skeet) both use station 8, I shoot NSSA and it's a very quick shot, see it bang and shower the squad with bits Jon.

Will sort something out when you get back B) don't complain when you get addicted to it /wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-cool.gifI have just been informed that i'm shooting sporting in the AM, followed by Skeet Hopefully the change in manager of the Cafe at the NCSC means the food may actually be edible again   It wasn't dangerous before or anything like that, just overpriced and low quality (just a personal opinion shared by many others)Cheers,Jon.
