Driven hunt is a form of social hunting, usually practiced in the forest. Drivers - with or without dogs - walk through the area to be hunted to get the game moving. The aim is that the game passes the so-called shooting stands (place where a shooter stands) at a moderate pace, so that a clean shot can be applied.
Shooters as well as drivers usually wear special signal clothingduring driven hunts for safety reasons.
The shooting distance on driven hunts is usually not more than 100 meters. Since it is often necessary to shoot on the move and without a rest on the changing game, the calibers 8 x 57 IS and .308 Win are particularly recommended for young hunters.
For some experienced hunters, calibers such as .300 Win Mag are also very popular, even though they are comparatively difficult to shoot.
