"Shooting Around The Clock" was conceived in 1923 by William Harden Foster, who was then editor and chief illustrator of both National Sportsman and Hunting and Fishing magazines. The discipline became "Skeet" in May 1926 and was aggressively promoted by Foster.
By the mid-1930s the .410 was being used in competition in two classes: ".410 Long" with 3/4 oz. and ".410 Short" with 3/8 oz. shot.
