What is "skeet shooting"?
Skeet shooting is a sport where participants aim to hit clay discs, called targets, as they are launched into the air from two machines at different angles. The targets mimic the flight of birds, testing the shooter's reflexes, accuracy, and timing. Competitors move between stations arranged in a semi-circle, each providing a unique angle for the targets. The sport can be practiced recreationally or competitively and requires concentration and skill to hit the fast-moving targets consistently.
Examples
