What's the distinction between trap and skeet?


Trap is shot from an arced set of shooting stations, the birds flying at one of three angles away from you thrown from one house.

Skeet has two "houses" opposite each other and throw just past the other house.  You shoot singles, one from each house, then doubles, two thrown at the same time from most of the stations.

The last two clay pigeons are thrown at an angle that is very close to you, and must be engaged very quickly before they pass you.  Skeet tends to be quicker, I enjoy it more.

This like will show you how skeet and trap work and how they differ:  Trap vs Skeet

I shot skeet an entire day with a buddies shotgun and only missed 2 clays (most of  this was shooting singles.)  But when i grabbed my gun i couldn't hit a dang thing.  BAH!  Think i'll stick to my rifles. hehe
