Skeet Field Layout

Paragraph 1C refers back to the Skeet field layout diagram. The text gives the elevation of each station within 9 inches of station 8, with a tolerance of 3 inches for target emergence height. The D-size drawing is much more easy to read than Win field drawings in the past. This is especially useful for large-scale projects. NSSA has the diagram available at $25

Olympic skeet

Since 1968 the Olympic skeet is an annual event in the games. The international competition closely mirrors domestic competition. The sport involves six shooters firing a course of 25 targets from each of eight firing stations. Each shooter begins by holding the buttstock of their shotgun at hip height. The field is dotted with throwing machines. There are two types. Singles and doubles. Each target may be hit with one shot, single or double. Shooters must aim precisely at each target, and only one shot is allowed.

The field is usually three to four meters wide. The Olympic Skeet, being more technical than many other disciplines, has more complex rules. The maximum cartridge load is 24 grams and the shot size cannot exceed 2.5mm. The shooting range is typically around 75 meters (230 yards), but may vary slightly between games. Shooting targets at different angles is possible. Distances can vary from 76 meters (230 yard) to 83 yard.

Trap ranges

To plan a skeet and trap shooting range, you must first determine the dimensions of the land parcel. For a skeet range, a 600-yard parcel of land should suffice. A semicircular skeet firing system will be needed along the long side. Place skeet shooting stations approximately eight to thirteen meters apart.


You can also determine the range distance by measuring the size of the target area. At least 50 yards will be needed for each target and 20 to each trap. Some shooting games may require more land. Next, ensure your shooting range meets the Amateur Trapshooting Association standard range specifications. These specifications include both shotfall and walkway areas. These specifications are intended to ensure that the range is safe for shooters and players.

Target sequences

The Olympic skeet is considered one of the most challenging sports. In competition, the random timer releases the clay target after releasing it a zero to three second period. Each team must shoot a number of targets in sequence to win. The fields dimensions and target sequences of skeet are variable. Here is a list with possible fields and target sequences to play competitive games.

A skeetfield consists of two traphouses, or shooting stations. On either side of the shooting area, there are two of these houses. The high targets are thrown 10 feet aboveground, while the low targets are thrown three-and-a half feet aboveground. The target sequences differ in different competitions, with the high house targeting a higher position than the low house target.
