The shooter stands on one of eight different stations placed in a semicircle around the field and shoots a variety of singles and doubles to complete a round of 25 targets.

In general the targets thrown in Skeet are targets which cross in front of you.

There is also the ISSF variation shot on the same ground, the difference being that the target is called with the gun at waist height, the targets are thrown faster and there is a random delay between 0.2 and 3 seconds.

This discipline throws the largest variety of targets imaginable! Targets going away, coming in, crossing in front, high tower as well as a bouncing rabbit and high quail to mention some.

5 Stand Sporting is very popular with most recreational shooters and is provided for practice.

One of the more popular disciplines is DTL. DTL throws targets out of a trap house in front of you. The targets are released at varying angles but always going away from the shooter.

DTL is shot in rounds of 25 from five different stations and has many different forms of competition. Usually you can use two shots to try and break the one target released.

Trench is shot from five different stations. The targets are released from fifteen different clay target throwing machines from a trap house that is level with the ground.

From each of the five different stations any one of three targets will be released. Similar to DTL two shots can be used to shoot at the one target.

Shot on the same ground as Olympic Trap, this discipline instead only uses the middle 5 traps. Shooting is very similar to down the line in this way, except the targets are thrown much faster and with a great range of angles.

This event uses the same shooting ground as Trench but only utilises the three centre machines. However, the targets are always released two at a time from a known destination, with two cartridges used to shoo two targets.

There is a variable delay of between 0 – 1 second from the time the target is called until the release of the target. Double Trap is shot over 25 pair (50 targets).

Shot on the down the line layouts, it utilises both machines in the trap house and throws out two targets slightly slower than regular down the line. The angles are fixed and the targets are released on the shooters call immediately.

Shot on the same ground as down the line, both the vertical and horizontal angle which the target is released from is constantly changing. This is the next step up from regular down the line as there are more varied targets.
