English Skeet
Welcome to the English Skeet Team page. Everything you need to know about representing England in this discipline can be found here.
Skeet is a word of Scandinavian origin, though the original discipline originated in America. An English Skeet (ESK) layout has two traps situated in a high house to the left and a low house to the right, about 40 metres apart, which throw the targets across the layout. There are seven stands which the shooter completes from left to right. A sequence is used, where the targets are thrown either as singles, or as pairs where the high and low target are thrown simultaneously.

Home International Team Selection Process
Below is the process used to decide selection for the England ESK Team for Home International Team matches only (under the jurisdiction of the ICTSC).
Selection Shoot Invites
To attend an ESK selection shoot, the shooter must submit 5 best scores from 3 different grounds for the period 1st July 2024 - 28th February 2025. Scores can be used from ANY registered shoot.
Please note: In line with our current rules, if you shoot the same ground on the same day, we can only accept your first score for England Team Selection.
1.14 r) Two registered DTL or ESK shoots can be held on the same day using the same layouts. The second shoot cannot be used for Regional Championships or County Championships. Each shoot will be run as a separate event and fixture, and will have its own set of scores and winners etc. Both scores to count towards classification, but a shooter can only use one score (the first score shot) to count towards England Team selection.
From these scores the top 60 Seniors, 15 Ladies, 15 Juniors, 15 Veterans and 15 Super-veterans are invited to attend the 2 x Selection Shoots, both Selection Shoots must be attended, as it is all scores to count.
Scores can be submitted via this link: ESK Scores
The deadline for submitting these scores is Midnight on 28th February 2025.
England Selection Shoots
If successful you will be invited to attend the England Team selection shoots. There are 2 selection shoots in April 2025 and June 2025. Where these shoots are held is determined by a rota with one being held in the North and one being held in the South. At the end of the 2nd Selection shoot, scores are submitted and points calculated from High Gun. Those with the lowest points will go through to the team.
In the event of a tie for a place in the England Team, the place will be decided by a shoot off.
The category in which you are invited to attend these Selection Shoots may not necessarily be the category in which you are selected for the Team. The England Team is decided upon to produce the strongest Team.
