[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1348392, member: 796"] The times indicate you are not double tapping, but firing two aimed shots. I'd suggest you break up the various parts of gun handling you are having difficulty with, and practice them separately. Double tap: get a comfortable position with the gun pointing center of target at 7 yds. Fire the first shot, and the gun will go up in recoil. [I]As soon as the gun comes down from recoil and you see the front sight back on the target, fire the second shot.[/I] Should be around a quarter second or less. Speed draw: Start at 3 yds, draw and fire [I]point shooting about chest high.[/I] When that gets easy, back up. With practice, the sights will come up in alignment; concentrate on front sight. Start shooting only one shot. When that gets comfortable, combine with double tap skills. Do not go beyond 7 yds until it gets comfortable. You want to break the habit of fiddling with sight alignment when you are doing speed drills. You can save a lot of time by getting a good instructor to help you. Some people are just going to be naturally better athletes at anything including speed shooting, but learning proper technique will avoid what I call "standing there admiring the target when you should be shooting." The world record for 5 hits on plates at a steel challenge is 1.71 seconds, but most of us are happy to get the first shot off in that time. [/QUOTE]
