Never heard of it , but ........ I find it quite Intresting

Interesting but, isn't it a bit optimistic to call an event an "International Championship" when the range capacity is only 30 shooters?

I didn’t notice the 30 shooter part . That would be a bit disappointing !

I believe “international” refers to the type of trap and skeet. That is, international trap, or bunker, and international skeet. Different setup and rules compared to American trap and American skeet.

Well ............ color me embarrassed. Being wrapped up in the world of sporting clays and hunting I had no idea. Thanks, John.

I'm not a trap shooter. 20-21 is good for me. Shot 3 rounds of bunker at Hillsdale college. Remember you are allowed 2 shots at each bird. I shot 5,6, and 1.

Doubt I'll shoot it again

I wanna try bunker trap before they throw the dirt on top of me . International skeet I’d try as well but low gun and faster targets isn’t gonna make it easy .

I have always shot Skeet with low gun (at my waist) regardless of the gun I used. Never broke 25 but a lot of 24’s, 23’s, 22’s etc.
I was shooting a friend’s Perazzi low gun and when I got to station 8 low he told me in his heavy Greek accent “No, no - mount da gun! You can no break dem wit a low gun. Mount da gun o you gonna shoot way behin dem!”

I proceeded to turn them both into “diesel smoke”. He said “I canno believe dat, I canno believe!”

The course of fire in American vs International skeet is slightly different . As well as the targets being cranked up faster . I dunno if they use a harder rimmed bird but I’d not be surprised. Low gun at American skeet is fun and like yourself I’ve shot plenty decent scores although I usually base how good it was out of 100 or atleast 50 .
