[QUOTE="BigDon, post: 2633867, member: 107254"] A couple of shooting sports are derived primarily for high volume shooting. Driven pheasants in England, Scotland and Mexico come to mind. The volume of shooting is high enough that you have two shotguns and an assistant to load one while you are shooting the other. Gloves are mandatory! A good day might see a decent shot score 150+ birds. A similar setup with driven ducks netted 130 mallards in 20 timed minutes of shooting. The biggest hazard was getting flattened by falling ducks! Not a joke…. Rabbit hunting at night in the UK is another high volume affair. You, a loader assistant and 2 guns again - but on the back of a Land Rover with a driver and a light handler. Pure pandemonium for a couple of hours. Plus a double lead puzzle - you’re tearing through a dark field at 30 or so mph and the rabbits are running the other way. Then, just to keep it sporting you can only shoot the rabbits. If you hit a Hare there is a 100 pound fine for each one. (US $175. Back then.). A good night would see 300+ rabbits at a go per rover. Huge fun and the farmers loved you for it. Good thing shells were cheap back then. Oh yes, just for the record - those shoots were all with double guns - no auto loaders allowed. The very definition of fast and furious shooting. [/QUOTE]
