Well, the data doesn’t lie.
Doesn’t mean that there isn’t an infinite number of ways to arrive at the same data set.
If you shoot skeet for scores and consistency, you shoot it pre-mounted with a dedicated target gun with a pattern that’s optimized for breaking the targets 5 feet either side of the center stake.
If you shoot it for its original intention, you shoot Low gun, delayed pull, and work at breaking the target at all kinds of different places on the field.
They are not quite the same, but they can be close.
If you shoot 50 rounds of skeet with a light load under the original set of rules, your forest grouse shooting will improve exponentially.
There is just a lot of overlap in training the mind, eye, and body, to put the barrels where they need to go to break the thing in front of you. If you can make that happen in two seconds, your first shot kill percentage goes way up.
The Skeet field is a valuable tool for improving close range wing shooting.
