Can't tell you how many time he took a second shot (normally one was enough) at a running rabbit, from the speed of the second shot if you weren't looking you would not have known.

may have been the Springfield '03 training before he got a Garand in Europe, but never underestimate a smooth bolt in the hands of an expert.
