Regular Target at 15' "A regular target is one that appears after the shooter’s call and within a period not to exceed one (1) second, and which passes within a three-foot circle centered at a point fifteen (15) feet above the target-crossing point. The target-crossing point shall be measured from the level of Station 8. The target, in still air, must carry to a distance equivalent, on level ground, to 60 yards from the skeet house when passing through the center of the hoop, with an allowance tolerance of plus or minus two yards."
In his book, “Breaking Clays”, page 128; he uses three stacks, and measures lead from the middle stack to either side, depending on which stations 1-3, 4-6
Chris, I'm a little confused about the lead indicators. You've set out 2ft either side of centre. On some of the clips you refer to lining up your aim using the centre peg and then talk about needing 4ft of lead. Are you actually aiming at the centre peg or are you aiming at the opposing leading indicator? (e.g. high house uses right lead indicator & low house uses the left lead indicator). So when a clay from the high house reaches the left indicator and your aiming at the right indicator, your lead should be correct?
did you get an explanation on your question? I have a same question but did not get any clarification on it. if you get any proper answer, would you please share it with me. thank you in advance.
18' hoop? I see this video is 10 years old. Was the skeet clay height different than is is now? or different than USA skeet? The NSSA regulation handbook says the center of the hoop must be 15', with the top being 16.5".
You are correct. He might have confused the height of the hoop pole with the measurement that locates where the base of the hoop pole sits on the ground. The base of the hoop pole sits on the ground 18 feet out (downrange, that is, along the line passing through stations 4 and 8) from the center of station 8.
Chris, these are SO very useful and absolutely brilliant for a new chap to the game of Skeet. Love them, thanks!
The lead indicators are absolutely brilliant!!!
Enjoy these videos- great help for a beginner like myself! Thanks so much!
Love these tutorials Thank you
