I think one thing missing here is trap shooting stated with live pigeons. Two shots were permitted. When all the pigeons in the country were killed off, substitute targets were used and evolved into the clay targets we now have. I believe when the rare live pigeon shoots are held two shots are not only allowed but are required regardless of the first shot result. Probably a safety requirement to be sure the gun is empty.
