Skeet is a game of known targets.

Skeet is a game of known targets.  In turn, shooters proceed around a semi-circular field.  There are 7 stations around the outside of the arc and one in its center (see below).  Targets are launched out of two houses, high and low, at the ends of the field and pass over a point outside of the center station.  This set-up, no matter where it is in the country (and often the world), is always the same.

In a round of American (NSSA) Skeet, one target from each the high and low house is shot at every station.  However, at Stations, 1,2,6, and 7, the added challenge of doubles is included.  Here, targets are launched simultaneously from each house and shooters have to try to break both.  One target, the Option, is shot at the first target which the shooter misses. Thus, a round of skeet is comprised of 25 shoots  Another alternative is Doubles Skeet where shooters do not attempt any singles.  Instead, one tries only to break doubles at every station. 

Because Skeet targets are invariable, it presents a different challenge than other disciplines.  After much practice, all of the shots can be learned and a perfect round become possible.
Don't be daunted by the high scores of the best shooters.  Skeet is a game that is enjoyable for shooters of all skill levels.
