Without knowing with absolute certainty I think the term "Hot Box" could mean the lead off squad member goes straight to station 1 upon the squad's completion of the round of 25 targets on station 8 and begins the next round of targets. This keeps the field "hot" in shooting terms. I don't really care to do this but sometimes it's necessary to keep the squad moving in the interest of time constraints.

Absolutely, you should shoot recreational skeet at whatever pace suits you and your squad-mates. Just accept that in some skeet scenarios (the above mentioned registered night shoot, for example) your leisurely pace cannot be accommodated and you should skip them.

Spot on. Great advice.

I lead off most of the time in registered skeet. I look at a high bird and that's it. That low bird takes a long time to get to you so there is plenty of time to "view" it when it's time to shoot. This thread has gotten off the rails, as do many of them. Good luck.
