So right off the top I'm gonna disqualify myself as any kinda authority - I'm not. And here's what I know about it. There is no delay other than the closing switches, circuits, solenoids, target traveling the arm, etc. If there is a delay like is supposedly in the ATA vox releases, it is just one so that the release is not instantaneous, like maybe a few microseconds. But that seems unlikely since that small a delay would be very difficult to standardize considering all the different brands of machines. And if there is one thing the ISSF loves, it is "standard". Int'l skeet however does have a delay and it is even variable - talk about nasty! But like I said - I don't know but it sure doesn't have any delay for me.
As to spot shooting the bunker targets - there is a point just outside the bunker where the targets from the set of three machines all cross. Variable heights and angles will make that point more of an "area", but I suppose w/ a sorta open choke it might be possible to spot shoot them there. Even if that did prove a workable scheme in the past, I would have to wonder just how successful it would be w/ the current 24gm loads cuz 24gm just doesn't have many shot of any size in it. Also that would be a maybe 16-17meter shot and that is not much distance for any choke to open up much. As to the bouncing shot - that would have to have been just some strays, prolly from the cyl choke if that was what she was using.
There are some mega-fast shooters tho. The above mentioned Bill Bartels was a regular member of the bunch I used to shoot w/ at the old Martinez bunker. He regularly broke targets at distances where I was just getting handle on which direction they were going. But he was definitely not spot shooting, just alien life form quick.
