Recently i had a guy that was trying to impress me, "oh yeah, best night I had was 1200 "

I did the math

10 hrs shooting lets say from 7 pm to 5 am (thats 10 hrs with NO breaks)
1200 rabbits so...... lets see 1200 divided by 10 equals 120 (
Thats 120 rabbits per hour Lets divide that hr into minutes

120 rabbits divided by 60 (mins) equals 2

Thats 2 rabbits a minute which equals 1 rabbit every 30 seconds. all night long.

Stop to reload you loose 1 minute, stop to open a gate / have a piss, get something to eat, change the battery on your light.

Yep I get it, that you can also shoot 10 rabbits in 20 seconds.

My best night back in the day was about 130. Anything over that sort of figure should have gotten poisoned.
That included smoko. driving to the block and home, 6 hrs was a 8 hr day equivalent.
Mostly all shot with a shotgun as you could line up 2.

Yep that would be a marathon night alright ,my best night on my own was 364 Rabbits, was sick of the bloody things after night ( only until the next night then it was back to the grind stone)
Even with the numbers I got you would spend over an hour in one paddock and shoot 60-70 rabbits before moving onto the next one.
