After a bit of help... somewhere I have seen a video of a well trained shooter firing an Enfield extremely quickly. I am sure it was here but cannot find the video.. anyone got a link or can help me out?
Can't find anything of use on Youtube ..

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 ...
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.
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.
the right fast shooter 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. Jim
Getting close...
He is still thinking of making the trigger pull a separate event from closing the bolt. With the right technique, the rifle will fire as the bolt closes, automatically. If you need to aim a little closer, don't close the bolt. It might help if you've big palms and short fingers like mine.
Oddly, he may have picked up the technique from some of my lot.
