A sunny 45-degree Saturday morning at Rodys Gun Shop, Newport, NH, offered Steve and his friends an opportunity to practice their skeet shooting skills.

Outdoor Steve is a newcomer to this sport, and this blog is definitely not a "how-to" tutorial. The two references below provide the reader insights into American Skeet Shooting.
- An Upper and Lower House on opposite ends of the range where the orange clay disks (commonly called "targets" or "clay pigeons") are thrown.
- Eight Stations from where the shooter rotates.
- One round of shooting is 25 shots spread across the eight stations.
- A round of Skeet involves one box of 25 shotgun shells per shooter, which will be fired at eight stations.
- The shooters begin a round at Station 1 in front of the High House and progress around the arc to Station 7 in front of the Low House, ending at Station 8 precisely in the middle between the two houses.
- Today, Steve and his friends did two rounds, firing 50 shots each. All shooters wore hearing and eye protection.
