Trap shooting has been around since the late 18th century when real birds were used, usually pigeons, as practice for bird hunters.

Skeet shooting was invented by Charles Davis of Andover, Massachusetts in the 1920s as a sport called Clock Shooting. The game was introduced to the public by a sporting magazine in the 1926. They offered a prize for the best name for the new sport. The winning entry was "skeet."
