International skeet is a very demanding sport. One of the most difficult features is the requirement to keep the butt stock of the shotgun in contact with the sooter's hip bone until the target appears. Since there is up to a three second delay between the command from the shooter and the time the target is released, the shooter has to react to the target, not the other way around.

With the target flying around 100 mph there is no room for error in gun mounting. The gun has to come up the same way every time and the cheek to stock contact has to be identical to assure a successful shot.

This is ideal practice for unexpected tight situations in the game field. My charging rhino was just like a low house target shot from station three.
