Skeet Shooting From High At Station Four

Hi, my name is Don Snyder, Executive Director of the National Skeet Shooting Association, on behalf of ExpertVillage.com.

What we are about to do now is engage the high house target from station four on the skeet field. The only thing that really changes at this station is the lead. The lead now, as advertised, is four foot. Now four foot is kind of a misnomer, what that equates to is approximately four fingers from the end of the muzzle, and I’ll show you, of course this being the muzzle or the “business end of the shotgun”, if you’ve got four fingers out in front of that shotgun, to see that as a lead, you should be just about right to complete this shot.

Okay, with that said, we talked about the stance and the muzzle, you want to break this target approximately right about the center stake. If you’ll notice that little white stake in the middle of the field, that is your center stake and that’s where you want to basically try to break every target that you shoot from a skeet field. Okay, what we’ll try to do is attempt this shot. Again, pointing your left foot, as a right handed shooter, right at the center stake, or maybe a little bit past to allow a good follow through.

Load the shotgun keeping the muzzle safe down range, “Pull”! And that should complete a successful shot at high four. Again, you must remember these are basic instructions for just a beginner to help them start in the game of skeet shooting.
