Skeittaus

Skeittaus, also known as skeet shooting, is a popular sport and recreational activity that involves shooting clay targets launched at high speeds from a machine. The sport is governed by the International Skeet Shooting Union (ISSU) and is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Skeittaus is typically practiced in an outdoor shooting range, where participants use shotguns to hit the targets as they fly through the air.

The objective of skeittaus is to hit as many targets as possible within a set time limit. Competitors shoot from a fixed position, usually at a distance of 25 yards from the launching machine. The targets are launched in a specific pattern, and shooters must aim and fire quickly to hit the targets before they disappear behind a screen or fall to the ground.

Skeittaus is a popular sport in many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and several European nations. It is often practiced by individuals looking to improve their shooting skills, as well as by competitive shooters seeking to qualify for national and international events. The sport requires a combination of skill, precision, and quick reflexes, making it an appealing choice for both recreational and competitive shooters.
