As the target turns the first shot should break, allowing almost a full 10 seconds to individually thumb-cock and fire four more precision shots.
For anyone interested in "old school" Bullseye shooting, especially for revolver, check out this thread I started some time ago.
It features a link to an old instructional film by Bill MacMillan (Olympic Gold Medalist and long-time Camp Perry competitor) demonstrating, amongst other things, his rapid/timed revolver dry fire technique.
