Skeet differs from all other shooting sports, because it was originally developed to improve hunting in the field, and only later, because of its growing popularity, developed into a competitive sport.
A round of skeet consists of 25 targets - 17 are shot as singles and 8 as doubles.
Any gauge shotgun may be used, of any type, as long as it can fire at least two shots. The preferred shot size is # 9, but nothing larger than 7-1/2 should ever be used. Since strength is not a factor, women are able to compete equally with men. A Jim Thorpe Activity.
