A round of skeet consists of 25 targets shot on a semi-circular layout with two trap houses, the left being the high house, the right the low house. There are 8 shooting stations. One shot only may be fired at each target. Squads consist of 5 shooters, each takes his turn to shoot from the shooting station, and these are numbered from 1 to 8.

On stations 1,2, 6 and 7, after the shooter has shot the two single targets, one from each trap house a “double”, ie two targets are released simultaneously, one from each house, one shot is fired at each target. If at any time during a round a shooter misses a target the shooter reloads one cartridge and repeats the first target missed. If a shooter gets to station 8 low house without missing a target, the shooter repeats his last target to complete the round of 25 targets.
