Skeet Shooting is the sporting competition for those who want to strategically move around a field that is set up in standardized distances. Shooters are grouped into “squads” with each squad made up of five shooters. Skills are sharpened in agility as shooters move around the course. Left-handed shooters normally do well in this sport. It’s a great game for men and women to compete together because of the uniform series of shots that keep the competition even.

The Okeechobee Shooting Sports skeet fields are arranged in a half moon with 8 shooting stations and 2 trap houses. Shooters move from station to station, ending up in the center at the end of the round. There is a high house on the left side of the field, which throws its clay targets from a trap 10 feet above the ground. The target rises to a height of 15 feet by the time it travels to the center of the field. The low house target is on the right side and leaves the trap house just 3.5 feet from the ground. It rises to a height of 15 feet by the time it reaches the center of the field.
A round of skeet consists of 25 targets, of which 17 targets are shot as singles and 8 as doubles. The first miss is repeated immediately and is called an “option”. If no targets are missed during the round, the last is shot at the last station, low house 8.
The shooting sequence is as follows:
