The "SKEET IN" and "SKEET OUT" chokes were developed specifically for the game of skeet. From station 1 on a skeet field Skeet In is the more open choke and is used for the incoming targets, hence the "in" part of the name. Skeet out is of course, used for outgoing targets where a bit tighter choke is desired. At station 4 it really doesn't matter much which barrel you use for either the high house or low house targets but the more competetive skeet shooters prefer to use the in and out chokes as they were designed to be used.

Then there are the "Skeet 1" and "Skeet 2" chokes which are just the opposite. Skeet 1 is used for your number 1 target at station 1 which is the outgoer requiring a tighter choke while Skeet 2 is open and used for the incomer.

Thanks Dean. So for roosters, the Skeet Out barrel would be the only one getting much action, although I have had a couple over the years coming right at me. Usually miss that shot but gettem on the "skeet out" about face. I did have a double on a pair of sharptails that came to me like a pair of ducks. Actually did get the first one as a "skeet in" and the second one was an about face and "skeet out" shot. Unfortunately, it was with my Winchester 1200 pump, so no Parker double pin for that. This was back in the late '70's. My long time hunting partner had put the pair up but they were way out of range for him. I was at least a couple hundred yards away and saw the birds leave and then head to me. I was "investigating" an abandoned dirty thirties farm house at the time. First sharpie almost dropped onto the roof and the second was onto the trail that lead in to the house. Now wondering if I can find any pics of that place. It is long gone now but the hedges are still there. Haven't been to that spot for a few years. Maybe next year. Too much snow now to even hope to get back into that spot. Thanks for the enlightenment.
Cheers,
