What does SKEET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A shooting sport in which clay targets are launched into the air from two directions for competitors to hit.
Skeet grew out of earlier trapshooting practice in the early twentieth century, when hunters wanted a way to sharpen their aim at birds flying from unpredictable angles. A round of skeet sends targets from two raised houses positioned on opposite sides of a semicircular field, testing quick reaction as much as accuracy. The sport now appears at the Olympic Games alongside trap and double trap shooting.
