Trapshooting
In England, trapshooting combined with skeeting started in the late 17th century as a method of hunting. Early stages of trapshooting with skeeting saw hunters release live birds to evaluate their aim, technique, and skill. The American Trap version features targets that fly at 42 MPH. However, Europeans often complain that this version is too easy, preferring to launch the targets at higher speeds.
Skeet shooting in Olympic mode
The Olympic version of skeet shooting has been a part of the Games since 1968. The competition is very similar to the U.S. domestic competition, but with different targets and shooting sequences. The international skeet features a series 25 targets which are presented on throw machines at either end of the field. Shooters must hit a target in one shot, either single or double. The shooter must aim at the target when it emerges from the throwing machine.
