I've seen several posts on here in the last 6 years talking about the "Mad Minute" and rapid firing Enfields, but here's a few videos I found on YouTube ... ;)
Does this help ? :)

The old LERA shoot was a good video.

But do any of these fellows know about using the middle right finger to discharge the rifle, whilst continually grasping the bolt handle with the thumb and "trigger" finger? There's where real speed happens, at the expense of some accuracy. But for close quarters, it's REALLY fast!
ETA: I think the above technique is used by the winning shooter in the linked video. Note that he only lets go of the bolt handle to reload.
thanks guys, I found the ones on youtube though there in one that puts all these guys to shame ... I just can't find the rotten thing. The LERA video is getting there though
I'm not to good with links but there is one on Youtube titled Enfield rifle NO4, speed shoot
by StantheGunman that's pretty good. Fellows using a No 4 from a standing position. Don't know what he's hitting but he's fast.

Nah, not bad, but it'll run much faster.
I used to do CQB "tactical" matches at Ft. Benning, just to do some close up, "fast and dirty" shooting with SMLEs, a No.4, and a couple of 2A1s. The 2A1 is about the best of the lot.
There's a few U tube videos like this on enfield resource.com too.

The guy you are looking for is on YouTube with the name iraqveteran8888. He does the fast shooting with his middle finger on the trigger.

Oddly, he may have picked up the technique from some of my lot.
Shooting fast is only the easy part of the Mad Minute; the really tricky bits are (a) reloading (b) keeping the rounds on target.
I've never done the LERA style Mad Minute, just "on yer feetses" 3-gun kinda stuff and practicing. The prone position I think would slow up things a bit. As far as reloading, there's one No.4 that's got an ugly bore and a not much better outside which will digest chargers filled any old way. It also doesn't try to grab the empty chargers. The 2A1s do fine via mag swaps.
The tough part for me is not firing a round off too soon when getting back on the bolt. The hand either grabs the bolt conventionally, which slows things down, or a round is fired a little before you are ready as the bolt goes forward and closes. Practice helps immensely! Get the muscle memory where it needs to be before the match. Folk will look at you funny at the "load and make ready" command if you are at a stage that starts with the muzzle down but the rifle shouldered. Mostly because the firing hand DOESN'T push the bolt forward. Buzzer goes off, muzzle comes up, bolt goes forward, bang.
