I used to count the number of pauses as the shooters changed stations. When I got to 5, I knew the round was almost up. The problem was is that if there was an interruption due to a gun malfunction or something similar, you could assume the round was up when it wasn't. Could be dangerous!

Also, back in the 60's or 70's shooters were allowed to take a shot prior to the start of an event to check their guns for proper operation. You would shoot off to the side of the traphouse. Again, very dangerous if the trap boy would suddenly come out of the house. A new rule stopped that.
