Alright how long does it usually take for a male to get a female pregnant? And how many females can 1 male get pregnant a year?

Balls can't get pregnant. They can get gravid. Thats the name for the state of carrying fertilized eggs. Balls have a year long breeding cycle, in which the male breeds the female several times over a period of weeks/months. One male can breed several females during the season. Its been suggested to you before, but you need to buy a reference book. I do not have Kevins or the Barkers book, but I do have the Sutherland/Seward video/book. I would reccomend it. You are asking very basic questions, which is fine, but you need to do some serious homework...

If you time it right it only takes one shot -- otherwise depends.

A lot - 4-5 is safe - some have done 7-10 - depends if you know what you are doing.
