Issued in 1988, this stamp commemorates the Games of the XXIV Olympiad held in Seoul, South Korea, and features skeet shooting, one of the Olympic shooting disciplines. Skeet shooting tests precision, concentration, timing, and marksmanship as competitors attempt to hit clay targets launched from fixed stations at varying angles and speeds. As a long-established Olympic event, it exemplifies the skill and discipline required in competitive shooting sports.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Sultanate of Oman highlighted its support for the Olympic Movement and the values of excellence, dedication, and fair competition. The issue celebrated the achievements of athletes participating in the Seoul Olympics and recognized shooting sports as an important discipline that combines technical mastery, self-control, and sporting achievement.
