SKEET DTL & DR

English Skeet (ESK) layout has two traps situated in a high house to the left and a low house to the right, about 40 metres apart, which throw the targets across the layout.

There are seven stands which the shooter completes from left to right. A sequence is used, where the targets are thrown either as singles, or as pairs where the high and low target are thrown simultaneously. The sequence is:

Stand 1: High single, low single, pair (shooting high first)

Stand 2: High single, low single, pair (shooting high first)

Stand 3: High single, low single

Stand 4: High single, low single, pair (either can be shot first in the pair, but the shooter must state before shooting which they intend to start with)

Stand 5: high single, low single

Stand 6: High single, low single, pair (shooting low first)

Stand 7: Low single, high single, pair (shooting low first)

The first target that the shooter misses is immediately reshot. If a shooter hits the first 24 targets without missing, they get the option on stand 7 to shoot either the low or high target again for the 25th shot. One point is awarded for each target hit

Down-the-Line Trap (DTL). One trap is set in the centre of the layout, with five stands, or pegs, in a line behind it.

Starting from the left peg, each shooter takes their turn shooting at an individual target. Once all five shooters have shot, the leftmost shooter starts the process again, until each shooter has shot at five targets. At this point, the shooters move one peg to the right (the shooter on peg five goes around the back of the line to stand one), and the process starts again. The person who shot first on the initial five targets always starts the shooting no matter what stand they are on. These rounds of five shots followed by moving continue until every shooter has shot at 25 targets.

A single target is thrown each time the shooter calls ‘Pull!’, but the shooter has two shots to hit the target. Three points are awarded for a first-barrel hit, and two points if a second shot is needed. A miss gives no points.

Double Rise (DR) is shot like DTL, but two targets are thrown at the same time, one going right and one left. Two doubles are shot at each stand, so 20 targets make one round. Five points are awarded if both birds killed and two points if one bird killed. A miss gives no points. 

These rules are different to the CPSA for club historical reasons
