There you go. No worries indeed. If that won't do it you're in big trouble anyway. I've never gotten timed on double tap shooting but I have emptied my 10+1 .45 Taurus PT-145 into an 8" target at 20 yards in 10 seconds. Every shot was a hit on target. I don't really practice that kind of shooting as much as I should. I try to set up different targets so I have to aim at like 3 targets with a mag. I think that's a real world scenario so I practice it pretty often but I should work on just double taps and emptying a mag too. You're right about practice meaning a lot. I've slacked off on practicing since the price of ammo went up so much. I try to practice at least once a month which really isn't enough but it keeps me accurate at least. That reminds me that it's time for another monthly practice run. I actually downloaded an app for my Iphone that was supposed to measure time between shots but if you shoot more than a round a second it won't distinguish individual rounds. Oh well. It was a free app. I guess I got what I paid for. Maybe it cost a dollar. Whatever it wasn't worth the time to download it.
