Skeet Field Layout



hunters access program

The Skeet Field Layout diagram is referenced in Paragraph 1-C. The text specifies the height of each station within nine inches from station 8. It allows plus or minus 3 inches in target emergence. The D-sized drawing makes it much easier to see than earlier Win field drawings. This is especially useful when working on large-scale projects. NSSA sells the diagram at $25

Olympic skeet

Since 1968 the Olympic skeet is an annual event in the games. The international competition closely mirrors domestic competition. Six shooters in a team fire a course of 25 targets each from eight firing stations. Each shooter starts with the shotgun's buttstock at hip height. Throwing machines either side of the field produce targets. There are two types. Singles and doubles. Each target may be hit with one shot, single or double. Each target must be accurately aimed at by the shooter.

The field is typically three to four meters in width. The Olympic Skeet is more technically-oriented than most other disciplines. This means that the rules can be more complex. The maximum load for the cartridge is 24 grammes. The shot size should not exceed 2.5 mm. The range for shooting is usually 75m (230 yards), although it can vary between games. It is possible to shoot targets at different angles, and the distance can be 76 meters (230 yards) or 83 yards.

Trap ranges

You must first measure the land parcel to plan a skeet- and trap-shooting range. A land parcel measuring 600 x 300 yds should be sufficient to accommodate a skeet range. The long side will need a semicircular firing line for skeets. The skeet firing stations should be placed at approximately eight feet from each other and thirteen meters apart.


You can also determine the range distance by measuring the size of the target area. Each target will require at least 50 yards and each trap 20 yards. For certain shooting games, you may require more land. Next, ensure your shooting range meets the Amateur Trapshooting Association standard range specifications. These specifications address both walkways, as well shotfall areas. The aim of these specifications is to make sure the range is safe for players and shooters alike.

Target sequences

The Olympic skeet is considered one of the most challenging sports. A random timer releases clay targets after competition. This can be anywhere from zero to three seconds. To win, each team must shoot a set of targets. The field dimensions and target sequences for skeet vary. Below is a list of possible fields and target sequences for a competitive game.

A skeetfield consists of two traphouses, or shooting stations. The shooting field has two houses. The high house targets are thrown from a trap located 10 feet above the ground, while the low house targets are thrown from a trap three-and-a-half feet above the ground. The target sequences differ in different competitions, with the high house targeting a higher position than the low house target.

Safety

You will need the correct safety dimensions if you plan to do skeet shoot. Most skeet fields are placed in open fields so that everyone can see the targets. Skeet shots can be taken between 20 and 25 yards. You will typically use small pellets with open chokes. These are safety considerations to be aware of before you even start.
