Flocks of skeet used to blacken the skies for hours as they flew over.

I hear the skeet’s close cousin the snipe is also a problem at Camp David. The Prez needs to be taken on a snipe hunt.

You haven’t lived until you have had a well made turskeeten.

Hitchcock’s movie was originally called, “The Skeet”, and later changed to “The Birds”, when it was found that the skeet were much too vicious. Early scenes left pre-screen audiences horrified, with many viewers fainting from the gore and carnage the skeet inflicted on actors and film crew. Even the acclaimed director, no stranger to controversy, saw the need to recast the violent skeet with more manageable birds, thus leading to the movie title change.

Not to be a buzzkill when it comes to “skeet humor” but
the target most commonly used is the same target used
in trap shooting and sporting clays. I trap shoot and
we refer to the targets as clay pigeons, clays, birds,
clay birds, or just targets. The term “skeet” refers
mainly to the style of how the target is presented to
the shooter. In skeet shooting the targets are released
from two towers opposite each other at an angle away
from each other. The shooter stands behind and between
the towers. One clay projects right to left and the other
left to right. The shooter will shoot at both targets.

In trap shooting the shooter stands behind a bunker from
which one bird is released from the bunker at various
angles. Usually there are five stations. Shooters take
turns shooting from each station. After five shots the
shooters rotate to the next station until the round
(25 shots) has been completed.

I raise this issue only to spare some FRiends from
embarassment when discussing skeet shooting with
someone with range savvy.

The upside is that skeet are very tasty when prepared with a bread and onion stuffing and served with a parsley garnish and baby roasted potatoes.

I reckon the natural habitat of the Wild Skeet is somewhat similar to the Wild Snipe.


I wouldn't mind taking Obozo on a Snipe hunt. Maybe somewhere in Afghanistan...or Nicaragua...;)

This thread reminds me of a Beverly Hillbillies episode where Irene Ryan as Granny is trying to figure out how to cook "golf eggs".
