Shooting Skeet

IMG_6271

  We’ve become friends with the men at our local butcher shop and one of them graciously invited us to shoot skeet with him at skeet and trap club.IMG_6262

Shooting near the high house

It was our first time officially shooting skeet, though we have shot trap.

Shooting near the low house

In trap the target flies straight away from you; in skeet the the target flies past you from left to right and bottom to top and from right to left from bottom to the ground-sometimes both at the same time!

Our host is quite an accomplished shooter in competition and taught us the basics of stance, aiming (technically “pointing” when referring to a shotgun), and showed us the stations for skeet shooting.
