wwillson Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I've never shot skeet, so I'm not familiar with skeet terms in general. I hear the term "Five Stand" and "Skeet" used interchangeably. Are Five Stand and Skeet the same?Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 No,they are not. They can be shot on the same field but have totally different targets. 5 stand has five stations, Skeet has eight. Skeet has the high house and the low house for targets. 5 stand has five stations with a variety of 8 traps comming from all directions usually shot in pairs except for the first target.In five stand, each shooter stands in one of the five stations. Usually, there are 2 sets of targets which can be thrown from each station. In our 5 stand, there are 8 traps all in different directions. Each station has a sheet which tells you which targets are going to be thrown and what order they should be shot at. You usually need more than 25 shells for a round of 5 stand because you can shoot more than 1 shot at the first single target if you miss with the first shot. There are 5 targets per station. 1 single and 2 pairs. Skeet is a very different game. The targets are always shot from the high house or the low house and pairs. Each shooter starts at station 1 and when the squad is finished they go to station 2, all the way around to station 8. Shooting stations 1,2,6,and 7, you shoot 1 high, 1 low, and 1 pair. At stations 3,4,and 5, you shoot singles from the high and low house. Station 8 is in between the houses and you shoot 1 high and if you don't miss, 2 low houses. In skeet, after your first miss, you shoot an option which is the same target you just missed. If you don't miss, you shoot 2 low 8's for 25 straight.
