The Scholastic Clay Target Program held the International Skeet Championship event this past weekend at the Mahaska County Izaak Walton League, near Oskaloosa.
International skeet, also known as Olympic skeet, is more unpredictable and challenging than American skeet, making it a favorite among seasoned shooters seeking to test their skills. The variable delay, the higher speed of targets, and the rule of holding the gun at hip level until the target appears all contribute to its complexity.
