The Champion-of-Champions shoot off at the World Skeet Shooting Championships comes after all competitors shoot a round each with the 12 gauge, the 20 gauge, the 28 gauge, and the .410 bore. That gives the shooter a score out of 100 targets and those who haven’t missed move on to a round of Doubles (at Stations 3, 4, and 5) with the .410 to weed the field down to the few that will shoot off on the Stadium field.
In 2009, the early favorite to win it outright was a past NSSA President Al Magyar who had gone a lo-o-o-o-ng time since his last title. Even his wife Trish became all excited by the prospects as did several in the crowd of spectators.
