This month in the history of skeet shooting...
Throughout the years, the month of September has proved to be a historically fruitful month for the sport of skeet shooting. Through the magic of history, we will relive these keys moments in this sport of kings.
September 12th, 1983 – Skeet shooting is accidentally invented by a local man from Alabama using only a jug of moonshine, a loaded six-shooter, and a vinyl of Rhythm of Youth by Men Without Hats.
September 29th, 1984 – The shooting medium of skeet shooting changes to clay disks, as Men Without Hat vinyls become increasingly harder to find.
September 15th, 1985 – Much controversy is waged over Nintendo’s upcoming game Duck Hunt, which will include both ducks and clay targets. Duck hunters everywhere are not happy sharing a game with what they believe to be an “imitator sport.” Skeet shooting enthusiasts demand clay targets be included so that some much needed popular light can be shed on blossoming past time. Compromise is reached when both parties will have their respective sports included in the game on the condition there is an asshole dog that laughs when you fuck up.
September 20th, 1990 – Skeet shooting sweeps the nation and is dubbed “Canadian football.” No one knows why.
September 18th, 1996 – While on the set for Boogie Nights, Mark Wahlberg confuses the term “money shot” with skeet shooting. A mistake he will not soon forget.
September 21st, 1999 – Creed publicly states that their inspiration for their album Human Clay came from skeet shooting. “It was our home away from home,” said an elated Scott Phillips, the band’s drummer.
