How to Shoot Skeet With a Remington

Remington shotguns are popular weapons for bird hunting and skeet shooting. Shooting skeet, otherwise referred to as clay pigeons, increases accuracy among those who enjoy hunting waterfowl or migratory birds. Shooting skeet with a Remington shotgun is not unlike shooting skeet with another brand of shotgun, but proper technique is required for proficiency.

Instructions

    • 1

      Load your Remington shotgun and make certain the safety is in the "on" position.

    • 2

      Stand at the range line if you're on a skeet shooting range. Ensure that the shooting zone is clear if on private property; stand in front of and away from any bystanders.

      Hold the shotgun in the "alert" carry position. Your trigger hand should cradle the shotgun grip and your finger should be straight and off the trigger. Place your other hand on the shotgun's front grip. Point the muzzle at an angle toward the ground with the buttstock resting near your armpit.

      Take the weapon off of "safe" and yell "pull" or "bird" to either the designated skeet thrower or to the throw-house.

    • 5

      Bring the shotgun buttstock up to your shoulder. Lead the skeet's path in the air with the barrel of your shotgun. Aim just in front of the skeet's path while still leading the skeet in its ascending phase. Squeeze the trigger to fire.
