Skeet
A round of skeet consists of 25 targets shot on a semi-circular layout with two trap houses, the left being the high house, the right the low house.
There are 8 shooting stations. One shot only may be fired at each target. Squads consist of 5 shooters, each takes his turn to shoot from a position known as a pad. These are numbered from 1 to 8.
From each of these stations a single target is released from each house on the call of "pull". The shooter may have his gun on or off his shoulder as he chooses.
After the competitor has shot his two single targets from stations 1, 2, 6 and 7, he remains on the pad and shoots a "double", ie two targets are released simultaneously, one from each house, one shot is fired at each target.
If at any time during a round a competitor misses a target he then reloads one cartridge and repeats the first target that he has missed; however, if he gets to station 8 and has broken all of the 24 previous targets, he then repeats his last target to complete the 25 target round.
