It is one of the most exciting times of the year for hunters - the drive hunting season. Drivers, hunting assistants, and dogs all work towards that one moment, the moment when a piece of game changes its position to the waiting shooter, allowing for a clean shot and the game to be ethically taken down.
However, as with almost every type of hunting, hunters often ask themselves what the right tool for drive hunting is. Which weapon is best suited for success in drive hunts? How much does such a weapon cost? What type of optics should be mounted on a drive hunting weapon? What caliber is recommended for drive hunting? Is it necessary to always carry a repeater during drive hunts?
Questions upon questions arise for the hunter, and especially novice hunters regularly search online for tips to find the perfect drive hunting weapon.
While it is not strictly necessary to carry a repeater to be successful in a drive hunt, it is advantageous as it allows for quick successive shots to be fired accurately.
Therefore, we present to you seven repeaters that are suitable for use in a drive hunt.
