Skeet shooting is an American game, started circa 1920 in Andover, Massachusetts, and it was developed by outdoor sportsmen that enjoyed upland bird hunting, and it was a game originated primarily to hone their skills on the off-season. It basically started by being able to launch clay targets, give you some examples of clay targets, which were thrown in the air at various and different angles, and it was called, basically, "shooting around the clock". And basically there was a point in the center where a trap was located and it launched targets in different directions simulating what you would experience in the field. It turned out to be a very successful game. There was a contest in Outdoor Magazines and the person from Montana who named the game "skeet" which is a Scandinavian word meaning "to shoot". The game has progressed over the years and has become a very competitive game, but still, skeet fields are used to hone your skills for the hunting season and can be used during the off season to hone those skills.
