When we do our “contests” we do it since shot. Usually on the pitcher. Getting ball on the bat is easier than the pitcher releasing the ball. Especially with a single shot.
You just hope “the play of the game” has already happened.

You might know better than I. I have a Nikon F2 with a MD-3. Maybe 6.5 frames/sec. I can’t look it up, now.
