Beginning of the Skeet Page Gun Information Skeet is a very close in type of game. So, in order to break the targets effectively you need to use a gun with skeet chokes. If you do not have skeet chokes you can use improved cylinder instead. Skeet guns have short barrels 28-30 inches in length. You can use just about any type of shotgun to shoot skeet, as long as it can shoot doubles.
Pumps are very uncommon in the sport.
The bulk of the guns used to shoot skeet are over-unders and automatics. The unique part of skeet is that competition is shot in four different gauges. The answer is no. Some companies specalize in making what are called tube sets. If you have an over-under you can send it out and have a system of interchangable tubes made for each gauge you wish to shoot.
