Skeet shooters. Line up and be counted.

One of our neighbors is asking permission from the P&Z board to install a Skeet range near out house.

I have to admit ignorance here never having shot skeet so I need some answers. Soooo

1 How many Skeet shooters do we have on board?

2 What is your favorite shotgun?

3 How many rounds do you generally shoot in any given visit?

I got your e-mail bud and I just closed the poll. I hope that is what you were looking for if not let me know and we will try something different. I am also going to see if I can't place this thread in the games forum to get you some more replies.

Why was the poll closed? I'm curious myself..

While trap shooting has always been my main game, I tried skeet for the first time a few weekends ago, as some skeet guys were looking to fill a squad. I quite enjoyed it, and found it challenging enough to make it interesting. I don't know if I shot it regularly if the challenge might fade, as the targets are pretty predictable. Once you got the lead, and chokes figured, it should be fairly simple.. (That ought to stir the pot a bit )

Anyways, I think that some ballistic clothing might be in order, as I was nailed in the leg by a piece of shot that had either exited via the ported barrel of one of my fellow shooters, or ricocheted off the target. It embedded itself in my leg, but I was able to pick it out as my blue jeans had slowed the velocity. (Thanks Levi ) I still can't believe some guys don't wear eye protection.. I guess they like to live dangerously.

So between the shot in the leg, and the broken target pieces raining down on me, I found the whole skeet shooting thing quite exciting for my first time.... Darn rights I'll try it again!

The poll was closed at my request.
I didn't ask the right questions and all I really wanted to know is how many rounds are usually shot.
