making fast follow up shots nearly impossible. If your body is not set up to mitigate recoil, you again are not going to return to “zero” making fast, accurate follow up shot difficult. Lining up the sights and pressing the trigger are the easy steps, it’s getting to the point where you are ready to press the trigger most people need to work on.
I don’t really care what you want to call it or how many shots are involved. To make 1 shot you will have 2 sight pictures, before the shot and after the shot. Since you have re-obtained your sight picture at the end of the shot if you need to press the trigger again. So you do this over and over until the threat stops. Stance and grip is everything in shooting fast, if you don’t have a positive grip on the weapon system it’s going to float in your hand....
IF U DON'T GRASP HOW TO DO THIS WITHIN 20 MINS, AND U'RE GETTING TAUGHT FROM A COMPETENT PERSON, RETURN YOUR HANDGUN TO WHOEVER/WHEREVER U GOT IT FROM IT'S NOT THAT HARD
@coldfront12 First of all, shooting can be a very positive and educational activity when it's in a sporting environment. Second, as bad guys evolve, our defense must evolve. Simple as that.
I always run the the same problem that you mentioned, i thought a double tap is you squeeze the trigger as fast as possible thank you for the video i will try out your advice.
Guns were made for wars and hunting animals......and if there is no war in your country and you're not hunting any panda or peacock, then you are a bit COWARD. Why? Can't defend yourself with your bare hands or maybe a Rambo Knife? Or afraid of the most cowards of all - the bullies who carry guns?
Come to think of it, looking at the bigger picture, I guess that is what led to the nuclear arms race during the cold war - two coward countries trying to intimidate each other with yeah - explosions!
Thank you for making this video. I've watched it more than a dozen times. I've studied it among others, on safety, neutral point of aim, stance, grip, presentation, etc. I can place two well aimed shots within an inch of each other at about 15 ft but it takes about 1-2 seconds to do so. If I hasten myself, the groups can vary greatly in their tightness. Besides patience and practice is their any advice you could offer me to faster but maintain a tight group? I'm using a stock Gen 3 Glock 19.
@dedzone The real question is how tight does the group need to be. For practical and defensive purposes, keeping both hits on an 8.5 X 11 piece of paper is good. You need to use the amount of precision required to accomplish your goal. It is better to put two hits within that area quickly than to take the time to put two in the same hole. Until you miss, faster is always better. Remember that fast and slow are results, not actions.
@shootingcoach Understood. I think I tend to take my shots when I have a perfect sight picture, the perfect sight picture being the very center of a circular target. But redefining what it means to have a good sight picture, i.e. sights in the center area of an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper, should help my training. The video also reminded me that I need to track my front site. I tend to look back at the target. A bad habit. I'll be sure to work on that as well. Thanks for the help.
Who cares if you shouldn't double tap with a 45. How can you even make that judgement? Why not do it?? Some stupid arguments on this feed about calibers knocking people back.. Who cares. Isn't it just about If they're heart is still beating after you shoot?
No, I'm not mentally challenged. Unlike many people, I actually deal with facts not beliefs. I use experience and not video games or movies to draw my conclusions.
You are leaving out the key word: reliably. It is a fact, the vast majority of people who are shot with handguns survive. That is undisputable. Draw your own conclusions
Too many folks get their information from movies and videogames.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. There isn't a caliber available that can knock a person off their feet. If there was, it wouldn't be possible to fire the weapon without yourself being knocked off your feet, even in a squared-up isoceles stance.
@rabbitsox Additionally, there's nowhere I can shoot you with .45 ACP where you would be guaranteed to survive had it been 9mm instead. They're just low-speed pistol calibers.
Sorry but he is correct. It's simple physics. No handgun has the power to knock you down. Whether or not you end up on your ass depends on your body's physiological reaction to the trauma of being shot. The only time you can count on a handgun killing someone with one shot is if that shot hits the medulla oblongata. Otherwise, it's really a crap shoot. You can say all you want, but those are the facts and they cannot be disputed.
@shootingcoach so your trying to tell me if someone shot you center mass say with a 45 hollow point, 50, 44 magnum etc. your going to still be standing. Like I said I bet your not willing to test that. No argument here. Thats just common sense. Dont get me wrong I would double tap for sure, if not two to the chest one to the head. But ill put it this way, you go get in a fire fight and tell me what happens when you get hit in the chest, that is if your still alive.
Not exactly. What I am saying is that there are plenty of people hit center mass who do not either get knocked down nor fall down. I am aware of several people shot in the head with a .45 who didn't die. Even hitting a vital organ is no guarantee. Look at the Miame massacre Matix suffered what should have been a fatal, incapacitating wound early on but continued to fight and in fact hit all of the FBI agents. Again, I deal in fact not supposition.
@shootingcoach oh yea and in the point of you saying he is correct and then you say "no handgun"... no where did he say just handgun calibers. He said there is no caliber. So if you want to kick it up a notch thats fine to. You will be knocked off your feet. There are facts proven saying it cant "bow you/ knock you backwards". but thats a big difference.
You are correct in the sense that there are some rifle calibers that have enough energy to knock you back. But whether you end up on the ground or not has more to do with your body's reaction, not the impact of the bullet. I have seen deer hit with a .300 magnum through both lungs and the heart run almost a mile after being hit. I've also seen them drop like a stone when only one lung is hit. People are the same way, one can not reliably predict what the reaction will be.
@SADmercenary Seriously. There's no caliber available that will provide enough energy to knock someone backwards. If so, the energy expended during the firing of that caliber *would knock the person firing the weapon to the ground as well*.
You either get shot and continue to fight until you die, or you get hit in a critical area and die instantly, in which your body crumples to the ground like a sack of potatoes.
:D Kidding, dont you love it when you see a guy get shot w a 9mm and then he flies through 2 walls and grimaces terribly >:O at the end?
I like my .308. All I ever do is hunt, and with .308 placed well its one shot and a 1000lb moose drops like a rock. In fact I have never seen a moose or deer fly backwards from a rifle shot either :O Not sure I would try to shoot eithe with a .45 lol.
Holy shit some of these comments are ridiculous even for Youtube. Are these idiots actually trying to argue with shootingcoach about how to shoot?? Double taps are something that I've struggled with, so this was a great video.
wow, the comments on this video are retarded. I Liked your video. I always thought a double tap was exactly as you said, but wasnt sure, cuz I never tried it. You should ignore (as Im sure you do) all the morons who post negative shit. Thanks for the video
very good tutorial. this answered several of my questions in just a couple minutes. i like speed shooting and i like it even more when i can do it accurately (which ive been having some trouble with) thank you for the tips.
oh last one I'd also like your opinion of laser usage. I believe it teaches bad habits as in it's a sort of pacifier where shooters rely on it and never truly learn the proper mechanics of shooting and it's not tacticaly sound either I feel it's one more cool movie item that ruins shooters and decreases their skill. batteries die and the shooter can't recover cause they're used to the pacifier
ok after rewatching I actually hear you say track the trigger and break the shot and that pair was faster. From one tacher to another What is ytour opinion of the new age teaching of soldiers firing while holding the mag well? think about it before you answer. taking into consideration balance, mechanics and retention in cqb senarios. I have a feeling I know your answer allready. This new way of teaching perturbs me to no end. and it's a very hard habit to break shooters from.
@TheJedi270 Keeps everything in tight to the body, hand is closer to mag if you have to retain it as well as being closer to the mags on your vest for faster reloads. It allows you to square up to your target and take full advantage of the SAPI plates in the vest instead of exposing your flanks. Retention is handled by tac slings.
@TheJedi270 Military is always behind the curve on shooting techniques, we don't like change. Just take away Tactics and marksmanship fundamentals from the military, leave the rest and stay up to date on new techniques. I mean we were still teaching the bullseye pistol shooting stance in the 90's for qualification, yet competition shooters switched from the weaver stance to the modern isosceles stance late 70's early 80's.
I will never attack another on you tube and hope i havent here. But a real double tap however useless it is or should I say excessive should sound almost like one round was fired. I cant do it and I AM a former military instructor. I always taught that ONE well placed shot is all thats needed. and I still believe this. conservation of ammo and trigger control is paramount period.even while in the police academy we were taught three round stop. Major waste of ammo. but under stress you fire alot
@TheJedi270 Some of what you say is just nonsensical. One shot is never enough especially with a handgun. And calling two shots excessive is absurd. That philosophy gets people killed. Whenever possible, you shoot until the threat stopped. In certain situations, that's not always possible but is still a general rule. Ammo conservation is important for those who may engage in protracted firefights but for those whose primary weapon is a handgun ammo conservation is counter productive.
@shootingcoach obviously he was a military instructor and you are just some guy who likes guns
No offense but he's right and i have evidence to prove it. I was a navy seal and we worked on the double tap all the time. it does work with a pistol and one shot can be sufficient.
@virginiatechfanx I hope you weren't addressing me, because to say I'm "just some guy who likes guns" is like saying A-Rod is just some guy who likes baseball. No offense, but if I had a penny for everyone I've met who used to be a S.E.A.L. or S.W.A.T. instructor but couldn't shoot worth a damn, I'd be rich.
@shootingcoach You're pretty retarded aren't you. I bet when you were born your momma fucking beat the shit out of you because she knew you were stupid as fuck. Obviously if I am a retired Navy Seal I could fucking shoot you in the head in two seconds. Call me one day when your ready and not dead.
@virginiatechfanx Just by the tone of your reply, I can tell you weren't a S.E.A.L.. The content just proves it, anyone who would spout such childish drivel is too stupid to have made it through BUD/S let alone be operational on a team.
@TheJedi270 Some of what you say is just nonsensical. One shot is never enough especially with a handgun. And calling two shots excessive is absurd. That philosophy gets people killed.

@Baysox39 It doesn't matter. Statistically the vast majority of people shot with handguns survive. Hollowpoints are not 100% reliable. Nor do they mean instant incapacitation. Pistols just do not transmit enough energy to the target. That is why shot placement is so critical and hitting the target more than once is as well.
@TheJedi270 What did you instruct in the military? Maybe one shot one kill with a high power rifle, but with a pistol you keep shooting till the threat is down. Thats why its not a good idea to practice just double taps either, you build the muscle memory of firing 2 shots then stopping to check out your handy work. Most people aren't on a 2 day patrol 20 miles from re-supply, so smoke em if you've got em.
@TheJedi270 Sounds like another case of stolen valor to me.
It's hilarious when a middle aged man who plays with toy guns comes to videos that contain real knowledge and try to say how it is somehow "wrong."
World class trainers like Larry Vickers and Pat Rogers do not teach anything at all like you are describing. Larry Vickers was in charge of teaching CQB tactics to Delta.
But I am sure you know more than them because you play with pieces of Chinese plastic, right?
last thing i want to do is offend I know u say u dont like the term double tap or controled pair. The term Double tap and the way it's done was started by LAPD SWAT. It is what it is. The idea is to fire the second shot on top of the first shot by riding the trigger forward till the sear resets and pull again. with practice this can be done before muzzle rise. Yours was by deffinition a controlled pair and by the way congrats very tight and fast impressive. but NOT by deffinition a double tap.
@TheJedi270 Actually, it was not started by LAPD SWAT. It was first used by Fairbairn in the 1930's. He realized that pistols did not have reliable stopping power so he developed the doctrine and taught it. No offense, but the rest of what you say is nonsense. It is not possible to fire a second shot "before muzzle rise" the muzzle rises as the first shot leaves the barrel, so the second round isn't even chambered yet.
@shootingcoach The terms "controlled pair", "hammer", "hammer pair" were all coined in the '80's & 90's by "instructors" who didn't understand the concept or believe that you can see the sights that fast. Sadly, they out number the ones who do. Again, Double Tap is a doctrine, not a technique. So what I demonstrate is in fact a double tap - nothing else.
@TheJedi270 I can guarantee that you were not a military instructor. You need credentials and an education to instruct in the military, and you certainly can't even spell correctly. Numerous times in your ranting comments you spelled commonly used law enforcement/military words wrong (controlled, definition, etc) and you think you can fire two shots before the muzzle rises, while clearly the first shot makes the muzzle rise. There is no experience behind what you have said, so I declare bullshit
I witnessed -at close quarters - two South African policemen shoot a gunman with their handguns. They virtually emptied their magazines at him the moment he pointed his gun at them. I think they hit him ten times, and he was still alive 20 mins later when the ambulance arrived (although he was completely incapacitated, as one would imagine after being hit so many times). These policemen know what they're doing when it comes to shoot outs, so the principle of 'get a lot of lead in 'em' is valid.
Don't take this personally, but I love guys like you who come in here with an ounce of knowledge and try to have a pound of credibility. The difference is that you read about it and watch movies and tv while I actually do it and have been for decades. I base what I teach on real world results, not "Gunfighter Theory". Quite often it flies in the face of what the latest "Tacticool" guys say and teach, but I can back it up with fact, not just hot air.
@shootingcoach fact number one, everyone one on here who makes a gun clip is a national contender, same with gun stores workers, range officers, ect, ect. i have never shot anyone but i have shot deer and pigs in the wild and with humans its all about bullet placement. ive seen people shoot animals in the gut (your double tap) and eventually they died after about 500 yards but a 150 grain ballistic tip from a .270wsm will nock them down on the spot with a lung or heart shot.
@1hogfan83 You can believe that is a fact if you like, but the truth is that most people on here are self proclaimed experts. Not professionals (though there are several). Secondly, you may have missed this fact, but .270Win is a rifle caliber. It's apples to oranges. Finally you should have your vision checked, those hits were in the sternum area, not the gut.
@shootingcoach im not getting my info from some video game or some other person. i shoot regularly and take my practice seriously. i take my concealed carry very seriously. spraying and praying will lead to me serving time for killing an innocent bystandered. thats called unvolluntary manslaughted. you might wanna think about that. i do use glasser saftey bullets in my 642 but 230gr hyrda in the sw 1911pd. dont tell me to stop watching tv and get out when all you give me is stats
@1hogfan83 Statistics are facts. There is no denying that the vast majority of people shot with handguns survive. Some people just can't handle the truth. You can call it spray and pray all you want, you are just showing your own stupidity. I have stated several times that they are well aimed shots and they are fast. Tell you what, if you know so much, why don't you have a career training or a sponsorship from a gun manufacturer? Why don't you just start your own channel and post videos?
@shootingcoach Believe what you want, it makes no difference to me. The fact that you come here and post statements and not questions just shows that you don't care to learn, you just feel the need to flex your ego. You feel the need to try to prove to others here that you know what you're talking about when in fact you show the opposite. The real tragedy with people like you is that you really believe the crap you spew in spite of truth and facts staring you in the face.
@shootingcoach Hey coach, Don't waste your time with 1hogfan83 he is a 27 year old expert on everything, Your videos are great and many people have learned from them. Why is it that all the so called experts never have any videos? My channel before I tried to back up everything I said with a video.
one more thing to add, a good quality hollow point, maybe a hydra shock. i know its a love hate bullet. A .45 caliber hollow point that opens up fully makes hole in the body of a potential attacker almost a full inch wide. put that through his heart, lung or neck and he'll be drowning in his own blood.
@1hogfan83 Again you aren't considering facts. There is no guarntee that HP will expand. Some perform rather poorly. Barnes are the most reliable that I have found and I carry them in my .45. You should really get out more, read about the "miami massacre" and how Matix was hit in the chest, neck and head yet still continued to fight. Platt also suffered what should've been a fatal wound early on, but continued to fight for several more minutes. Again, handguns are not reliable man stoppers.
@1hogfan83 You do realize the body can live without fresh air for 5 minutes right? So when the heart stops pumping or the lungs stop taking in new oxygen it will still take 5 minutes before that person dies. As far as handguns are concerned you need to aim for the central nervous system and put as many shots as possible as quickly as possible to that area to stop someone for sure. The more accurate and faster you are the better. But the CNS is protected by bone... which makes it difficult.
"handguns dont have the power to relieably kill??!!!!!" i hope you didnt tell that to cops or our armed services. maybe your refering to a .380 but i know the .45acp can kill a drug enraged phipino charging marines. i guess will just have to agree to disagree. you dont have to worry about one thing though, me ever being in one of your classes. i wish you luck in your "spray and pray" and i'll stick to my "well aimed shot." i know its not a good doctorine because it takes so long,0.5scds.
@1hogfan83 You can disagree with it all you want, but it is an undisputable fact. 83% of people who are shot with handguns survive. That's a fact, period. That's is why professionals developed a doctrine to hit the target multiple times. That's also why the elite use rifles or smg as a primary weapon, handguns as secondary. It's your loss that you won't attend a class, you might actually learn something outside of the paradigm in which you are capable of believing.
@1hogfan83 "Spray and Pray" refers to putting lead downrange with no clue where it is going. The shots in this video went exactly where I wanted them to. Watch my "Bill Drill" video, in that .5 seconds you take to try to hit someplace that you think is critical, I'll hit you at least 4 if not 5 times somewhere in the center of your torso. After the 2nd or 3rd hit, I think you would change your mind about pulling the trigger if you were even still alive.
@1hogfan83 You shot a Filipino on drugs with one shot from a .45 and he died instantly? Or did he suffer from a hail of bullets that killed him? The plural part (Marines) is what helps. Multiple shots. Good luck scoring a "well-aimed-shot" with a handgun in combat.
the neck and chest hold so many vital organs and arteries. any hit from a large caliber handgun will certainly take them off balance and send them to the ground, especially a 10mm or .45acp. i never said it would kill them anywhere it would hit them. if your only going by speed you might as well throw those sights away. i never said aim for the spine, aim for the vitals and you will have a good shot for the spine. hit a person in the gut and they will still have fight in them.
Shootingcoach you're saying you can take a shot anywhere by any handgun and not get knocked down. Ok master why don't you post a vid of you brushing off a desert eagle blast to the throat and THEN we will take you seriously. If.you're gonna bullshit someone, at least make it believable
@nvhearld No, what I said was "no handgun caliber will knock someone down no matter where you hit them." Read it, it's only a couple inches above this on the page. That is an indisputable fact. Handgun cartridges will not knock you down. They aren't even efficient at killing: 83% of people shot with a handgun survive. If you're going to holler "BULSHIT" at least have some clue what the f***k you are tallkng about.
@nvhearld Mythbusters shot a 180 lb dummy with a .50 BMG round fired from a Barrett .50 cal and the dummy moved only 2". The metal spine of the dummy caught the bullet so no energy was lost via over penetration. So I would say a "wimpy" .50 AE round wouldn't be able to do any better.
i still disagree, a good take down shot will be in the chest, neck, or head region. it is true that your shooting a .45 and that will nock down the target no matter where you shoot him but if someone shoots a 9mm or a .40 it will most likely not take them down when hit in the stomach region. my glock 21 can be a bear to shoot because is weighs in a 27 ounces unlike your taurus at 38. always remember, quality outweighs quantity.
You can disagree all you want. I base things on my more experience as one of the top competitive shooters and almost two decades as a trainer. First, no handgun caliber will knock someone down no matter where you hit them. That is why the doctrine of double tapping exists. Secondly, the weight of the gun makes no difference. I prefer light guns. While it takes more energy to move a heavier object, it also takes more energy to stop the movement. I shoot faster with a lighter gun.
@1hogfan83 Additionally, quality does not outweigh quantity when it comes to shooting. A faster "B" hit may be better than a slow "A' hit. Especially in a defensive situation. Statistically, hitting the target first is the determining factor in who wins. Odds are that you will degrade your opponents performance with a hit somewhere c.o.m.. The quicker you can achieve that hit, the better.
@shootingcoach your telling me that you would rather shoot someone in the shoulder, gut, or another unvital point rather than the spine, brain, lung areas? a .5 second slower well aimed shot is far better than a spray and pray shot. i dont want a "may" shot were luck is the primary factor. i want to practice and know that when the time comes i will be ready to put my time and effort to work, putting the bullet where it counts. i'm not a muslim, "if allah wills it."
@1hogfan83 This isn't happening in a vacuum. Your opponent is trying to kill you to. That extra half second could cost you your life. Also, it shouldn't be the only shot you fire. If your sights are either center mass or where you have decided that you want them to be, break the shot. I never said luck had anything to do with it. Statistics show that the first person to hit usually wins.
@1hogfan83 Secondly, it's easy to talk about hitting an area as small as the spine (about 3/4 wide) in this sterile environment. But it's a lot harder to do under the stress of a real life shootout. With handguns, it's all about increasing the odds in your favor. Handguns do not have the power to reliably kill, so everything you do should increse the odds in your favor. Hitting the other guy before he hits you is one of the best ways to do that.
@1hogfan83 Finally, it's not like you go oh shit and blindly pull the trigger. I already know what area is acceptable for me to hit the target. When I can hit that area whether using the sights or not (like phone booth distance) I begin firing and continue to fire until the threat is removed. So, yes I am saying a faster less precise shot that hits within that area is far better than a .5 second slower more precise shot. Also, don't forget that your target may be moving making the shot harder.
178 SWC is not full power ammo, something like a 230gr corbond would be full power ammo. your also using a very heavy gun, atleast a 34 ounce gun, maybe even closer to 38. try doing that same double tap with a 28-30 ounce gun like a colt commander, kimber pro carry II, ect plus shooting the target in the right area. those were gut shots, try hitting the target in the neck, head, or chest region.
@1hogfan83 Actually, that is a full power load by any standard. Bullet weight is only half the equation, velocity is the other half. Do the math and you will find that load exceeds some "full power" factory ammo. The gun makes no difference, I can and have done this with everything from .22 to .50 S&W. It's the Indian, not the arrow. Don't know what you consider the "right" area of the target, but those were center mass, exactly where they should be.
i would just like to say that what you describe in this video as a double tap is not correct i could be wrong but i believe a double tap to be aimed at the head of your target not the centre mass just an observation also what was the distance between yourself and the target
@aenima187 I would just like to say that if you don't know that you are correct, you should probably not say anything. Double Tap is a doctrine, not a technique, therefore where it is aimed is irrelevent. It was developed due to the lack of stopping power of handgun cartridges.
@aenima187 I don't know if it qualifies as knowing fuck all, but at least I got paid to shoot competitively by several companies and still train military and law enforcement around the world. I also know that it is "you're", not "your". Your is possesive, you're is a contraction of you are. Again, if you don't know what you're talking about or proper grammar, you should probably not comment at all.
@shootingcoach You realize, of course, that you're arguing with someone who uses a constipation treatment as their name on youtube. I mean, you had to know they were going to be full of shit...
You realize, of course, that a constipation treatment is an enema, not an aenima. aenima is latin for soul, it also happens to be the name of an album by the band Tool. A damn good album at that.
@atheris86 yes i realize that. i was intending for it to be a pun. just to get a chuckle, nothing more. i don't much like tool, but that song is decent. that's the one that mentions "dumb-founded dipshits", right? by the way, he was rather rude to you, so i would like to apologize on his behalf.
Lol. I'm still learning my P95 DA/SA. Most of the time I cock the hammer for the first shot out of the magazine, but I think it's worthwhile to know how to smoothly & quickly fire from an uncocked hammer in DA. Thing is, I'm also working on trigger control so I let the trigger out just enough to reset the sear. Funny thing is, on occasion the difference between the heavy DA, transitioning to SA, I sometimes do a very slow and unintentional double-tap (not really but you know what I mean)
"alot of people think that means you point at the center of the target and pull the trigger as fast as you can" I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE THINKING THAT, THAT IS WHAT DOUBLE TAP MEANS....
These double taps are harder than they look - especially if you're shooting a .45 or higher caliber. Although if you're shooting a .500 and you hit the son of a bitch with the first shot, no need for a second. There was hardly any recoil on that gun at all. What is this dude shooting - a .22?
@shootingcoach Impressive shooting for sure. Although - you're a pro after all. Thanks for posting the video - if only my local shooting ranges allowed double taps...
@DeathAdder187, I disagree. There is no point in having, as you would say, muscle memory, in your fingers when your brain defines the actions you take. You are not born with reflexes. Reflexes ARE muscle memory. Point being, a 3 year old is not going to be able to catch a ball flying at him at 60mph. He has to grow, develop, and learn to do it.
@6TangosDown I have been a goal keeper for a long time in school and amateur teams. When I was 14, my reaction time was about 0.250 (+/- 0.035) seconds, and I didn't change when I checked them when I was 15, 16, 17, 18.
According to your logic, my goal keeping should have developed my reaction time. FALSE. I developed how I managed to get the most out of my muscles after I reacted to a ball getting kicked.
@6TangosDown Also, why don't martial artists catch bullets and that sort of thing? Your logic tells me that the fact they spent them last crapload of years training reflexes had made them into Neo himself.
Nope, they still have the same reaction time, they simply learnt how to maked do with them.
@6TangosDown You are born with reflexes. Drop a book when your baby is not seeing. He will react with a time aprox. close to the reaction time he will have in the future.
@6TangosDown Reflexes are the amount of time it takes for your muscles and brain to react together, some people have a higher nerve response time and thus faster reflexes. Muscle Memory is more of a standard feeling and familiarness with actions that you do repeatedly. For instance, I am an AR-15 guy and reload them a lot and the action to reload an AK is different and I botch it because I don't have a muscle memory set for doing that as much and they are considerably different actions.
@MrAwesomness101, you're an idiot. Stop trolling and being a wannabe know-it-all. Its obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. Ignorance is going to get you nowhere, loser.
@sdguero28 I'm sorry but I find your reply a little dumb. My dog could shoot a clay pigeon with a shotgun any day. Its not that difficult, even for a novice. Also, There is tremendous doubt in my mind that a "gamer" can better his reflexes by sitting in front of a t.v. pulling his fingers at pixels on a screen. I'm just being practical.
@6TangosDown Your point his moot. Reflexes are not trained. You are born with the reaction time, there is no two ways to it.
What gamers have is muscle memory. Which plays a huge part on how you make do with the reaction time you were born. If you spent your days playing you would have exceptional trigger finger control, but no idea how to handle recoil. Unless you something to practice with.
you know a few days ago i went shooting with my firend(hes shot many different weapons all his life) at a firing range. i had never touched a pistol of any kind in my life before this. i had 3 consecutive double taps at 3 targets in less that 2 seconds. my friend who almost fell out of the chair he was sitting in just awe on how well and how centered the the rounds went. he asked me if i was sure i never shot a hand gun before.
its not about how often i go its "i already know how to shoot"
@Blazenwave even if he hadn't, most 1911s (and I believe that's a 1911) have integrated handled safeties, so it's *always* on when you don't have your hand wrapped fully around and squeezing it. It also might be a double-action only gun, many of which don't even have safeties. Or it could be a DA/SA gun, which he decocked without a noticeable motion from the camera's POV, making the next shot DA i.e. same story as DAO.
Still good of you to point out something you felt was unsafe I guess.
0:38 Did you just holster your gun with it off of saftey? You sir are one big dumbass. That's one hell of a way to shoot your leg, retard. Next lesson for our "shooting coach" How to use a firearm safely, by Blazenwave. Step one. Put the fucking gun on saftey when you put it in your holster, dumbass!
It's really interesting (and sad) that so many people on YouTube associate with firing guns in games with firing a gun in real life. No matter how realistic the game's graphics or mechanics are, it is *NOTHING* like shooting a real gun. Sight-alignment occurs automatically in almost all games, and there is nothing to control but where the sight is pointed and when you shoot.
No trigger mechanic, no real alignment, no real recoil, no muscle memory development, and the list goes on.
@FoxeoVideos I totally agree. Although hand/eye definitely plays a part in shooting a moving object and vid games are very good at sharpening hand eye coordination. I've seen gamers that never used a shotgun before hit 20/20 clay pigeons on their first time at the range once they figured out how the sights work.
@HughesARs When will I need to double tap against a burgalar/thief/gang member etc.? I have incredible aim and could put a bullet in his face with no problem.
Very nice. I've never managed a proper double tap with a pistol before (mostly because I'm terrible with pistols due to lack of practice, since I prefer working with rifles).
Out of interest, which pistol do you prefer for target shooting?
is this in idaho it looks like the range i go to

making fast follow up shots nearly impossible. If your body is not set up to mitigate recoil, you again are not going to return to “zero” making fast, accurate follow up shot difficult. Lining up the sights and pressing the trigger are the easy steps, it’s getting to the point where you are ready to press the trigger most people need to work on.
DoubleTapShooting 2 days ago
I don’t really care what you want to call it or how many shots are involved. To make 1 shot you will have 2 sight pictures, before the shot and after the shot. Since you have re-obtained your sight picture at the end of the shot if you need to press the trigger again. So you do this over and over until the threat stops. Stance and grip is everything in shooting fast, if you don’t have a positive grip on the weapon system it’s going to float in your hand....

Thank you for making this video. I've watched it more than a dozen times. I've studied it among others, on safety, neutral point of aim, stance, grip, presentation, etc. I can place two well aimed shots within an inch of each other at about 15 ft but it takes about 1-2 seconds to do so. If I hasten myself, the groups can vary greatly in their tightness. Besides patience and practice is their any advice you could offer me to faster but maintain a tight group? I'm using a stock Gen 3 Glock 19.
dedzone 1 month ago
@dedzone The real question is how tight does the group need to be. For practical and defensive purposes, keeping both hits on an 8.5 X 11 piece of paper is good. You need to use the amount of precision required to accomplish your goal. It is better to put two hits within that area quickly than to take the time to put two in the same hole. Until you miss, faster is always better. Remember that fast and slow are results, not actions.
shootingcoach 1 month ago 3
@shootingcoach Understood. I think I tend to take my shots when I have a perfect sight picture, the perfect sight picture being the very center of a circular target. But redefining what it means to have a good sight picture, i.e. sights in the center area of an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper, should help my training. The video also reminded me that I need to track my front site. I tend to look back at the target. A bad habit. I'll be sure to work on that as well. Thanks for the help.

Pistol calibers poke holes. Rifle rounds kill.
Too many folks get their information from movies and videogames.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. There isn't a caliber available that can knock a person off their feet. If there was, it wouldn't be possible to fire the weapon without yourself being knocked off your feet, even in a squared-up isoceles stance.
Not sure why folks don't understand that.

SADmercenary 2 months ago
@SADmercenary
Sorry but he is correct. It's simple physics. No handgun has the power to knock you down. Whether or not you end up on your ass depends on your body's physiological reaction to the trauma of being shot. The only time you can count on a handgun killing someone with one shot is if that shot hits the medulla oblongata. Otherwise, it's really a crap shoot. You can say all you want, but those are the facts and they cannot be disputed.

@shootingcoach so your trying to tell me if someone shot you center mass say with a 45 hollow point, 50, 44 magnum etc. your going to still be standing. Like I said I bet your not willing to test that. No argument here. Thats just common sense. Dont get me wrong I would double tap for sure, if not two to the chest one to the head. But ill put it this way, you go get in a fire fight and tell me what happens when you get hit in the chest, that is if your still alive.
SADmercenary 2 months ago
@SADmercenary
Not exactly. What I am saying is that there are plenty of people hit center mass who do not either get knocked down nor fall down. I am aware of several people shot in the head with a .45 who didn't die. Even hitting a vital organ is no guarantee. Look at the Miame massacre Matix suffered what should have been a fatal, incapacitating wound early on but continued to fight and in fact hit all of the FBI agents. Again, I deal in fact not supposition.
shootingcoach 2 months ago
@shootingcoach oh yea and in the point of you saying he is correct and then you say "no handgun"... no where did he say just handgun calibers. He said there is no caliber. So if you want to kick it up a notch thats fine to. You will be knocked off your feet. There are facts proven saying it cant "bow you/ knock you backwards". but thats a big difference.
SADmercenary 2 months ago
You are correct in the sense that there are some rifle calibers that have enough energy to knock you back. But whether you end up on the ground or not has more to do with your body's reaction, not the impact of the bullet. I have seen deer hit with a .300 magnum through both lungs and the heart run almost a mile after being hit. I've also seen them drop like a stone when only one lung is hit. People are the same way, one can not reliably predict what the reaction will be.
shootingcoach 2 months ago
@SADmercenary Seriously. There's no caliber available that will provide enough energy to knock someone backwards. If so, the energy expended during the firing of that caliber *would knock the person firing the weapon to the ground as well*.
You either get shot and continue to fight until you die, or you get hit in a critical area and die instantly, in which your body crumples to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

@TheJedi270 Keeps everything in tight to the body, hand is closer to mag if you have to retain it as well as being closer to the mags on your vest for faster reloads.

Major waste of ammo. but under stress you fire alot

@TheJedi270 Some of what you say is just nonsensical. One shot is never enough especially with a handgun. And calling two shots excessive is absurd. That philosophy gets people killed.

Ammo conservation is important for those who may engage in protracted firefights but for those whose primary weapon is a handgun ammo conservation is counter productive.

@Baysox39 It doesn't matter. Statistically the vast majority of people shot with handguns survive. Hollowpoints are not 100% reliable. Nor do they mean instant incapacitation.

last thing i want to do is offend I know u say u dont like the term double tap or controled pair. The term Double tap and the way it's done was started by LAPD SWAT. It is what it is. The idea is to fire the second shot on top of the first shot by riding the trigger forward till the sear resets and pull again. with practice this can be done before muzzle rise. Yours was by deffinition a controlled pair and by the way congrats very tight and fast impressive. but NOT by deffinition a double tap.
TheJedi270 4 months ago
@TheJedi270 Actually, it was not started by LAPD SWAT. It was first used by Fairbairn in the 1930's. He realized that pistols did not have reliable stopping power so he developed the doctrine and taught it. No offense, but the rest of what you say is nonsense. It is not possible to fire a second shot "before muzzle rise" the muzzle rises as the first shot leaves the barrel, so the second round isn't even chambered yet.
shootingcoach 4 months ago
@shootingcoach The terms "controlled pair", "hammer", "hammer pair" were all coined in the '80's & 90's by "instructors" who didn't understand the concept or believe that you can see the sights that fast. Sadly, they out number the ones who do. Again, Double Tap is a doctrine, not a technique. So what I demonstrate is in fact a double tap - nothing else.

I witnessed -at close quarters - two South African policemen shoot a gunman with their handguns. They virtually emptied their magazines at him the moment he pointed his gun at them. I think they hit him ten times, and he was still alive 20 mins later when the ambulance arrived (although he was completely incapacitated, as one would imagine after being hit so many times). These policemen know what they're doing when it comes to shoot outs, so the principle of 'get a lot of lead in 'em' is valid.

@1hogfan83 You do realize the body can live without fresh air for 5 minutes right? So when the heart stops pumping or the lungs stop taking in new oxygen it will still take 5 minutes before that person dies. As far as handguns are concerned you need to aim for the central nervous system and put as many shots as possible as quickly as possible to that area to stop someone for sure. The more accurate and faster you are the better. But the CNS is protected by bone... which makes it difficult.

Watch my "Bill Drill" video, in that .5 seconds you take to try to hit someplace that you think is critical, I'll hit you at least 4 if not 5 times somewhere in the center of your torso. After the 2nd or 3rd hit, I think you would change your mind about pulling the trigger if you were even still alive.

the neck and chest hold so many vital organs and arteries. any hit from a large caliber handgun will certainly take them off balance and send them to the ground, especially a 10mm or .45acp. i never said it would kill them anywhere it would hit them. if your only going by speed you might as well throw those sights away. i never said aim for the spine, aim for the vitals and you will have a good shot for the spine. hit a person in the gut and they will still have fight in them.

@nvhearld Mythbusters shot a 180 lb dummy with a .50 BMG round fired from a Barrett .50 cal and the dummy moved only 2". The metal spine of the dummy caught the bullet so no energy was lost via over penetration. So I would say a "wimpy" .50 AE round wouldn't be able to do any better.

i still disagree, a good take down shot will be in the chest, neck, or head region. it is true that your shooting a .45 and that will nock down the target no matter where you shoot him but if someone shoots a 9mm or a .40 it will most likely not take them down when hit in the stomach region. my glock 21 can be a bear to shoot because is weighs in a 27 ounces unlike your taurus at 38. always remember, quality outweighs quantity.
1hogfan83 5 months ago
You can disagree all you want. I base things on my more experience as one of the top competitive shooters and almost two decades as a trainer. First, no handgun caliber will knock someone down no matter where you hit them. That is why the doctrine of double tapping exists. Secondly, the weight of the gun makes no difference. I prefer light guns. While it takes more energy to move a heavier object, it also takes more energy to stop the movement. I shoot faster with a lighter gun.

@1hogfan83 Additionally, quality does not outweigh quantity when it comes to shooting. A faster "B" hit may be better than a slow "A' hit. Especially in a defensive situation. Statistically, hitting the target first is the determining factor in who wins. Odds are that you will degrade your opponents performance with a hit somewhere c.o.m.. The quicker you can achieve that hit, the better.

@shootingcoach your telling me that you would rather shoot someone in the shoulder, gut, or another unvital point rather than the spine, brain, lung areas? a .5 second slower well aimed shot is far better than a spray and pray shot. i dont want a "may" shot were luck is the primary factor. i want to practice and know that when the time comes i will be ready to put my time and effort to work, putting the bullet where it counts. i'm not a muslim, "if allah wills it."
1hogfan83 5 months ago
@1hogfan83 This isn't happening in a vacuum. Your opponent is trying to kill you to. That extra half second could cost you your life. Also, it shouldn't be the only shot you fire. If your sights are either center mass or where you have decided that you want them to be, break the shot. I never said luck had anything to do with it. Statistics show that the first person to hit usually wins.
shootingcoach 5 months ago
@1hogfan83 Secondly, it's easy to talk about hitting an area as small as the spine (about 3/4 wide) in this sterile environment. But it's a lot harder to do under the stress of a real life shootout. With handguns, it's all about increasing the odds in your favor. Handguns do not have the power to reliably kill, so everything you do should increse the odds in your favor. Hitting the other guy before he hits you is one of the best ways to do that.
shootingcoach 5 months ago
@1hogfan83 Finally, it's not like you go oh shit and blindly pull the trigger. I already know what area is acceptable for me to hit the target. When I can hit that area whether using the sights or not (like phone booth distance) I begin firing and continue to fire until the threat is removed. So, yes I am saying a faster less precise shot that hits within that area is far better than a .5 second slower more precise shot. Also, don't forget that your target may be moving making the shot harder.

178 SWC is not full power ammo, something like a 230gr corbond would be full power ammo. your also using a very heavy gun, atleast a 34 ounce gun, maybe even closer to 38. try doing that same double tap with a 28-30 ounce gun like a colt commander, kimber pro carry II, ect plus shooting the target in the right area. those were gut shots, try hitting the target in the neck, head, or chest region.
1hogfan83 5 months ago
@1hogfan83 Actually, that is a full power load by any standard. Bullet weight is only half the equation, velocity is the other half. Do the math and you will find that load exceeds some "full power" factory ammo. The gun makes no difference, I can and have done this with everything from .22 to .50 S&W. It's the Indian, not the arrow. Don't know what you consider the "right" area of the target, but those were center mass, exactly where they should be.

i would just like to say that what you describe in this video as a double tap is not correct i could be wrong but i believe a double tap to be aimed at the head of your target not the centre mass just an observation also what was the distance between yourself and the target
aenima187 5 months ago
@aenima187 I would just like to say that if you don't know that you are correct, you should probably not say anything. Double Tap is a doctrine, not a technique, therefore where it is aimed is irrelevent. It was developed due to the lack of stopping power of handgun cartridges.

pinhead61187 5 months ago
Lol. I'm still learning my P95 DA/SA. Most of the time I cock the hammer for the first shot out of the magazine, but I think it's worthwhile to know how to smoothly & quickly fire from an uncocked hammer in DA. Thing is, I'm also working on trigger control so I let the trigger out just enough to reset the sear. Funny thing is, on occasion the difference between the heavy DA, transitioning to SA, I sometimes do a very slow and unintentional double-tap (not really but you know what I mean)

These double taps are harder than they look - especially if you're shooting a .45 or higher caliber. Although if you're shooting a .500 and you hit the son of a bitch with the first shot, no need for a second. There was hardly any recoil on that gun at all. What is this dude shooting - a .22?

@DeathAdder187, I disagree. There is no point in having, as you would say, muscle memory, in your fingers when your brain defines the actions you take. You are not born with reflexes. Reflexes ARE muscle memory. Point being, a 3 year old is not going to be able to catch a ball flying at him at 60mph. He has to grow, develop, and learn to do it.
6TangosDown 7 months ago
@6TangosDown I have been a goal keeper for a long time in school and amateur teams. When I was 14, my reaction time was about 0.250 (+/- 0.035) seconds, and I didn't change when I checked them when I was 15, 16, 17, 18.
According to your logic, my goal keeping should have developed my reaction time. FALSE. I developed how I managed to get the most out of my muscles after I reacted to a ball getting kicked.
bf2lover42 7 months ago
@6TangosDown Also, why don't martial artists catch bullets and that sort of thing? Your logic tells me that the fact they spent them last crapload of years training reflexes had made them into Neo himself.
Nope, they still have the same reaction time, they simply learnt how to maked do with them.
bf2lover42 7 months ago
@6TangosDown You are born with reflexes. Drop a book when your baby is not seeing. He will react with a time aprox. close to the reaction time he will have in the future.
DeathAdder187 7 months ago
@6TangosDown Reflexes are the amount of time it takes for your muscles and brain to react together, some people have a higher nerve response time and thus faster reflexes. Muscle Memory is more of a standard feeling and familiarness with actions that you do repeatedly. For instance, I am an AR-15 guy and reload them a lot and the action to reload an AK is different and I botch it because I don't have a muscle memory set for doing that as much and they are considerably different actions.

@sdguero28 I'm sorry but I find your reply a little dumb. My dog could shoot a clay pigeon with a shotgun any day. Its not that difficult, even for a novice. Also, There is tremendous doubt in my mind that a "gamer" can better his reflexes by sitting in front of a t.v. pulling his fingers at pixels on a screen. I'm just being practical.
6TangosDown 7 months ago
@6TangosDown Your point his moot. Reflexes are not trained. You are born with the reaction time, there is no two ways to it.
What gamers have is muscle memory. Which plays a huge part on how you make do with the reaction time you were born. If you spent your days playing you would have exceptional trigger finger control, but no idea how to handle recoil. Unless you something to practice with.
DeathAdder187 7 months ago
you know a few days ago i went shooting with my firend(hes shot many different weapons all his life) at a firing range. i had never touched a pistol of any kind in my life before this. i had 3 consecutive double taps at 3 targets in less that 2 seconds. my friend who almost fell out of the chair he was sitting in just awe on how well and how centered the the rounds went. he asked me if i was sure i never shot a hand gun before.
its not about how often i go its "i already know how to shoot"

Ninety9Soulz 7 months ago
@Blazenwave even if he hadn't, most 1911s (and I believe that's a 1911) have integrated handled safeties, so it's *always* on when you don't have your hand wrapped fully around and squeezing it. It also might be a double-action only gun, many of which don't even have safeties. Or it could be a DA/SA gun, which he decocked without a noticeable motion from the camera's POV, making the next shot DA i.e. same story as DAO.
Still good of you to point out something you felt was unsafe I guess.

It's really interesting (and sad) that so many people on YouTube associate with firing guns in games with firing a gun in real life. No matter how realistic the game's graphics or mechanics are, it is *NOTHING* like shooting a real gun. Sight-alignment occurs automatically in almost all games, and there is nothing to control but where the sight is pointed and when you shoot.
No trigger mechanic, no real alignment, no real recoil, no muscle memory development, and the list goes on.
FoxeoVideos 8 months ago 2
@FoxeoVideos I totally agree. Although hand/eye definitely plays a part in shooting a moving object and vid games are very good at sharpening hand eye coordination. I've seen gamers that never used a shotgun before hit 20/20 clay pigeons on their first time at the range once they figured out how the sights work.
