SKEET, q highly skilled
sport with the closest resem-
blance to bird hunting Of any
form of shooting devised by
man, has an enthusiastic fol-
lowing in Washington and
throughout the country.
National, sectional and local
shoots" draw crack shots and
good galleries. Husband-wi
and boy-girl shooting COM
binations are common.
Skeet shooting in Washing
ton centers at the National
Capital Skeet Club, on Brad
ley boulevard near Radio Sta
ton WMAL's transmitter. The
club boasts nationally known
skeet shots among its men,
berS.
It is believed that there are
as many as 10000 local vet
erans who developed a yen for
the sport during wartime gum
merry training. Skeet was used
to train air and antiaircraft
gunners to lead moving tar
gets.
Skeet is an American inven-
ton. It was in 1910 that the
late w. H. Foster, famous up
land game shot; C. E. Davis,
proprietor of the Glen Rock
Kennels near Andover, Mass,
and Mr.. Davis son Henry w.
thought of converting tradi-
tional trapshooting with clay
pigeons so they could get
practice at the type Of upland
wing shooting of which they
were fond.
Straight trapshooting didn't
seem to fill the bill in develop
ing skill at quick cross-shots

circle, where the hands of q
clock normally would be at
tached to the face.
For a number of years the
two traphouses threw birds"
directly at each other, and
many was the time a trap
operator or gunner got sprayed
with clay fragments. In ad-
dition, skeet layouts could not
be placed in line, due to dan
ger from shot.
This was remedied by off,
setting the flight of the birds"
so that their paths crossed at
a point 6 yards outside Sta
ton 8.
A round of skeet, with indi-
viduals, pairs and teams up to
f1ve competing, goes like this:
TIE gunner shoots l6 single
pigeons" starting at Station /.
With gun ready, but not yet
at his shoulder for firing, he
calls, PULL" to let the trap
operator know he's ready. The
high house sends out a bird
first, then the low house. After
shooting at two single birds
from each of the eight sta
tions, he returns to Station /
and shoots four sets of dou-
bles at Stations l, 2, 6 and Z.
If he has missed any birds,
which is likely unless he is a
top-flight skeet shot, he uses
his 25th shot to try again for
the bird missed. If he kills"
all "a regular birds, he may
take No. Is from any station
he chooses.
It is no longer uncommon
for a good shot to "kilph. 100
straight birds.

What they devised was a
semicircular trap layout where
each gunner took two shots
from each of IL stations"
The 25th shell in the box was
used for a stunt shot from the
center of the circle.
They called it shooting
around the clock" Only one
trap was used. 1t was located
at "l2 O'Clock" and threw clay
