Thread: 1 Licensed Hunter, Two Rifles?

I’d also question why you need to. Given both rifles need to be within arms’ reach of the LFAO, it’s only practical for one person to shoot at a time. It would be too tempting to split up once in the field to increase the group’s chances.

I thought this too but then 90% of junior clay target shooting would be breaking the rules. I've always done one rifle only even sometimes just do one rifle for 2 LFO's anyway. Safer with one rifle anyway.
