“Aiming awfully low for skeet, isn’t he?”

From wiki;
“There are two houses that hold devices known as “traps” that launch the targets, one at each corner of the semicircle. The traps launch the targets to a point 15 feet above ground and 18 feet outside of station 8. One trap launches targets from 10 feet above the ground (”high” house) and the other launches it from 3 feet above ground (”low” house).”

Yep, but I betcha they launch at a slightly upward angle so the target would be 20+ feet off the ground. I could be wrong, but I'll bet there are Freepers who can provide the answer.
