Cause Skeet is for sissies?
A skirt?
Naw, its just an old joke thing between trap shooters and skeet shooters.
Skeet shooters usually wear a vest of some sort, and in the summer when worn with shorts the vest looks like a skirts.
The skeet shooters usually bug trap shooters about the oddbawl way some of them call for a bird.
Go to the range, there will be lots of jokers there to explain it to you.

Hey Mike,
I'm a member at this club. I'd suggest coming out and giving it a try. There are a lot of people who can help you with any questions you may have.
PM me if you would like any details.
Generally though;
You probably want a 12ga that is capable of firing 2 shots without much intervention (a semi or an O/U).
Ammo: For skeet you probably want target loads with #9 shot. Assuming 12ga, 1.125oz of lead or less.
Safety: Glasses and earplugs are required. These are available at the club, however you probably want to bring you own glasses.
A shell pouch can be useful. There are some at the club that you can borrow.
Brad.

ehhh will work for skeet as well! eh?
Yup, I've heard a few real doosies on the trap line years back. People can be really funny, when they are trying not to be funny!
