How the game's played

*The idea is to shoot where the target is going to be when your “shot” arrives at that same point. SUGGESTED HIGH AND LOW HOUSE LEADS AT EACH STATION High: None Low: 10"-12" High: 1'- 2-1/2' Low: 2'- 2-1/2' High: 4' - 4-1/2' Low: /2' High: 4' - 4-1/2' Low: 4' - 4-1/2' High: 2' - 2-1/2' Low: /2' High: 10" - 12" Low: None None: Cover each target and shoot The leads in the table were taken from Skeet Shooting with D.

Skeet Range Safety and Etiquette

Safety and Skeet Range Etiquette When you're not on a station getting ready to shoot, ALWAYS keep the receiver of your gun open so there'll be no question in fellow shooters' minds whether it's loaded or not. Open your O/U or the bolt on your semi-auto or pump shotgun. It's just the safe and sensible thing to do. Also, you won't look like an amateur and draw the scorn of other shooters.

NEVER load your gun until you're on a station and it's your turn to shoot. More Safety and Skeet Range Etiquette Call for the target so the puller won't have to strain to hear you. Occasionally, a shooter will have his own pet word to call for a target, but the traditional words are PULL! for the High House and MARK! for the Low House. However you call for the target, do it in a strong, commanding voice.
