This Shooter is at station five, ready to shoot
a "High House" target
|
Skeet is a game played on a semicircular, level field. Eight shooting
stations are located around the field, and targets are thrown from
two houses on opposing sides. The house on the left, referred to as
the "High House" is tall and throws the targets from left
to right. The house on the right, referred to as the "Low House"
is short and throws targets from right to left. As the shooter moves
from station to station, the relative angle of targets change from
incoming and outgoing, to crossing.
Squads of about five shooters take their turns from each of the eight
shooting stations. At stations 1, 2, 6, and 7 a shooter calls for
a single target from the "High House", then a single target
from the "Low House", and completes his/her turn by calling
for "Doubles". (Both targets thrown at the same time). At
stations 3, 4, 5, and 8, a shooter calls only for a single target
from each of the houses and does not shoot Doubles. |

Coyote Valley's facilities include two (2) skeet
fields, in addition to our Sporting Clays ranges. A unique feature
of our equipment enables single shooters to select a 3-second delay
mode, which allows persons to practice by themselves, without a
"puller," if no other shooters are present. Skeet is great
practice for beginner shooters, however, if fields are full, training
is not allowed on the Skeet fields. In this case, we recommend training
on the Trap field or at some of the easier Sporting Clay stations.

A
Trap field has five stations arching around the trap house. The
trap house will throw out single targets in five different, random,
outgoing angles. A shooter calls for five independent targets at
each station for a 25 target round. To add a twist to the game,
you may set our machine for "Wobble Trap" which varies
the targets even more!
