At about 15 yards I can keep a rapid double tap in the "0" zone of an IDPA target.  Until now I have never really paid attention, or tried various distance.  Monday at the range I got cocky and put up a bunch of 5x8 cards I use to do pistol drills.  At 10 yards I was able to keep both shots in the card most of the time.  I was pretty well pleased.  I ran out of time before I could start moving back.

My question is, how much should a double tap spread... what range do you all think of as the maximum range for a double tap?

i have doulble tapped 18" steel circle at 100yrds with a 20" A4..i have also tried doing double taps on a 12" steel circle with an AK-47 at 300yrds....first shot hit...the second well yea there was no real pattern to where the second round hit. but to answer the original question, i would say it depends on the firearm being used and the shooters ability

How fast are your double tap drills?


....Start slow and close, Work your way out and pick up the pace.

A friend of mine a few years ago told me I was the only person he ever met that would doubletap with a rifle.  It does take some practice to get it.

Is a double tap considered a hammer pair or controlled pair?

Fast, all I can say.  I need to get my own shot timer.

If I get over 15 yards or so I'm more apt to take a carefully aimed second shot... as slow as the first (still under a second maybe) I'm wondering what that range is for everyone else is.

This is a 16inch M4gery.

The closer the range the quicker the tap.



If it misses it didn't do any good.
