Not for regulation Skeet. Every round calls for four pairs of doubles. I guess you could get the puller to throw all singles for fun.

It will still be tough. A .410 throws only 1/2 oz of shot, requires a close choke to break targets, and is the hardest gun to score with.

If you haven't shot much or any real skeet games it may be frustrating.

If you are reasonably good at skeet, let's say you hit 20+/25 with 12ga,
you will have fun with the .410.
The only negative I can think of is that you will enjoy yourself and
crave a .410 shotgun capable of playing a regulation game.
Not much of a down side.

I have shot one round (a single round, not a round of 25) of .410 on a skeet field. Target nine. Powder. I think I will keep my 100% effective rating and stick to 12s and 20 for skeet. You would be surprised how many guys out there can really clean up with a .410.

I typically do really well with a .410 when we throw our own birds, but I want to try it on an actual skeet field. I've only been to a real skeet field a couple times this year (wanted to go more often but never had the money and time when they were open on Saturdays) and I'm planning on going tomorrow or Sunday with my .410 and my 12 gauge to see how I do. Gotta buy a box of .410 shells though, used all of mine last weekend shooting with a buddy of mine.

Thought I would pass on with the end of this! Never thought of it but this was a father /son camp weekend. As it turned out MANY young boys got to shoot for the first time. Two were smaall enough that they needed help holding the barrel up. Sitting they clays on empty boxes for them worked out well. One little guy left holding the empty hull with a ear to ear grin! Was worth the whole day! I never got to give it a try with my guns as we ran out of shells before we ran out of kids. Was asked to bring them next year. wouldn't miss it!
