Definition

A High House is one of the two main trap houses used in skeet shooting, positioned at the left side of the shooting field. It launches targets from an elevated height, typically around 10 feet (3 meters) above the ground, creating a downward flight path across the field toward the opposite side.

Further Explanations

The High House plays a key role in skeet shooting, paired with the Low House on the opposite side of the field. Targets from the High House simulate incoming or crossing birds, depending on the shooting station.

Key Details:

• Location: At station 1 (left corner) of the skeet field.

• Height: Around 10 feet (3 meters), significantly higher than the Low House (about 3 feet).

• Target Path: Flies diagonally across the field toward the Low House side.

High House shots vary in difficulty depending on the station:

• At Station 1, the clay crosses at a steep angle overhead.

• At Station 4, it’s a true crosser, requiring precise lead and swing.

This setup ensures a wide variety of target angles, testing the shooter’s consistency and adaptability.

Traditional skeet setups rely on fixed High and Low Houses, but with the TrapMaster from Nordic Clays, you can replicate High House shots anywhere. For an eco-friendly experience, use our biodegradable clay pigeons that break down naturally without harming the environment.
