SKEET: The game was introduced in the February 1926 issues of National Sportsman and Hunting and Fishing magazines, and a prize of 100 dollars was offered[by whom?] to anyone who could come up with a name for the new sport. The winning entry was "skeet", chosen by Gertrude Hurlbutt.[4] The word "skeet" allegedly derived from the Norwegian word for "shoot" (skyte).
