From Wiki: 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 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 allegedly derived from the Norwegian word for "shoot" (skyte). The first National Skeet Championship took place in 1926.[2] Shortly thereafter, the National Skeet Shooting Association formed.
