Speaking of the Guinness World Records, the timeline could trace back over half a century ago to a hunting competition in Wexford County, England.
Hunting, as a sport, has been regarded by the British elite as a traditional 'aristocratic' activity since the Middle Ages. Every aspect of the hunt was highly elaborate, from the choice of horses and breeds of hunting dogs to the selection of shotguns and shooting skills, even including the minute details in attire. Each detail was a reflection of a traditional noble's style. To successfully hold a hunt or to stand out in the event was a matter of great pride for the traditional nobility.
