Thanks seamus to you too. Muscle memory is something I'm kind of familiar with since my hobby is bowhunting. I use a traditional set up for that so it may help these old muscles of mine get retrained kind of.
Welcome to the forum Sir,
Good to see another "traditional" bowhunter here. That has been a passion of mine for almost 40 yrs. now.
As others have already stated: A good firm grip (and practice) will help in controlling your weapon.
A true "double tap" is (two shots off of one sight picture). The first shot of course...is deliberately aimed, and the second shot follows it as quickly as the shooter can recover from the recoil. To this end....a good grip, releasing and prepping the trigger while in recoil, and concentrating on your target...will speed things up and help to form proper muscle memory for your follow up shot.
It is important to recognize that the second shot of a Double Tap/Hammer is NOT sighted, hence the need to be able to return to an indexed point in order to maximize accuracy.
Often times, the term "double tap".... is used generically to describe any two shot in rapid succession. The double tap has it's applications, but generally a "controlled pair"/dedicated pair will serve you better (two shots off of two distinct sight pictures).
Then you have the "accelerated pair" (two shots off of two "flash" sights). Confusing.....I know, but I wanted to be certain we are addressing your question correctly.
