RECOIL MANAGEMENT FOR FAST DOUBLE TAPS
One of the goals that many shooters aspire to is being able to put fast,
accurate double-taps on target. Definitions vary, but for most people, that’s
getting one sight picture and putting 2 rounds on or incredibly near your point
of aim in rapid succession (.1-.2 seconds between shots) without getting a
second clear, crisp sight picture.
Go to any competitive shoot and you’ll see that, more often than not, people
shooting fast double taps oftentimes end up with their 2 bullets 8-16” apart
from each other…even if they’re only 10-15 feet from the target. This is bad for
competition, but it’s incredibly dangerous in self-defense situations where you
may have a limited number of rounds to stop immediate threats and where there
may be innocent people. EVERY round fired must be accountable and effective.
In addition to speeding up the process of stopping a threat due to blood loss, 2
traumatic strikes to the body in quick succession can sometimes cause a
psychological stop because of the inability of the brain to accurately process
the pain signals it’s receiving from 2 different places.
The ability to put 2, 3, or more fast & precise shots on target is, in large
part, a function of managing the recoil of the gun…which you can do, even if
you’re not a pipe fitter with forearms the size of hams.
First off, it’s important to understand that recoil is a really good thing for a
semi-automatic and is what kicks out the spent round and chambers the next live
round from the magazine. You’re not going to “control” it or eliminate it, but
you can manage it.
That being said, recoil also causes physical trauma (however minor or major) to
the body, mis-trains the mind to anticipate and try to control recoil, can move
where the sights are pointing before the bullet leaves the muzzle, and makes it
harder to fire multiple precise shots quickly.
Some of this can be controlled with muzzle brakes and recoil pads on rifles and
shotguns, but on most pistols, the majority of the recoil management is done by
the shooter.
And the easiest place to start is with your grip on the gun…
Larry Yatch and Beau Doboszenski are the guys who introduced me to the “vise”
method of gripping pistols, as opposed to the “rope” method of gripping pistols.
They cover this in depth in the Concealed Carry Masters DVD Course and I’m going
to give you a quick primer on it right now.
Meat On Metal “Rope” grip
One of the traditional schools of thought is that you should get as much “meat
on metal” as possible to manage recoil. In essence, it means holding the grip
like a rope with an emphasis on trying to put pressure inwards from front, back,
and both sides. It’s the same grip that you’d use if you were climbing a rope
that is the same size as your pistol grip.
I shot this way for years and it made the most sense of any technique that I’d
heard of…up to the point when I talked with Larry about it.
But several years ago at SHOT Show, Larry told me that the “rope” grip works,
but a slight modification would make a dramatic difference in minimizing the
effects of recoil on my ability to shoot fast, aimed, follow-up shots.
Put another way, it’s a higher-leverage way of gripping the gun and you get
better recoil management with less effort.
In short, what he had me do was start grabbing the pistol grip as if my hand
were a table vise and could only exert force forwards and backwards with no
concern over the sides.
Why?
Because the majority of the forces of recoil are trying to flip the muzzle
upwards…not side to side.
When you grip the gun like this, all of the force that you’re exerting on the
gun is in the same plane as the forces that the gun is going to try to exert on
you. And you eliminate grip forces from the side that may push the muzzle to the
side…before, during, or after the shot.
“Vise” grip–notice the gap on the side so all force is in the same plane as the
recoil.
When you look at the bones of your fingers, you’ve got the bone that’s at the
end of your finger, a knuckle, and then a second bone that’s closer to your
palm. With the vise grip, you put the second bones of your middle, ring, and
pinkie finger on the grip and pull straight back.
Depending on your hand and the gun you’re gripping, you’ll probably notice a gap
on the side of the gun when you do this. That’s OK. The palm of your hand isn’t
real good at absorbing sheer forces anyhow.
Support hand.
Next, we’ve got the support hand.
First off, some people have great success cocking their support hand down as far
as it will go WITHOUT PAIN. (I had an instructor once who was determined to make
my wrist cock down as far as his did. I had a different range of motion than him
and it was a painful and unnecessary experience.) As you cock your hand down, it
will have the effect of moving the tip of your thumb forward.
Cocking your support hand down until it stops is like using a jig in
carpentry…it makes it MUCH easier to quickly and precisely repeat the exact same
performance multiple times in a row.
But regardless of how you have your support hand angled, the main thing that
you’re concerned about is applying pressure straight back onto your shooting
hand, through the grip of the gun and to your body. You don’t need to squeeze
the support hand around the shooting hand to keep someone from twisting it out
of your hands…you just want to pull straight back to manage recoil.
I hold my support hand still, without squeezing or moving, and pull back with my
support side shoulder to apply pressure to my shooting hand and the grip of the
pistol as I’m pushing forward with my shooting hand.
Next is grip & forearm strength.
In some cases, grip & forearm strength can cover for bad form. In all cases,
grip & forearm strength enhances good form, but if you have a choice between
grip & forearm strength and good form, pick good form. BUT, when you get your
technique down and want to improve your grip and forearm strength, here are a
couple of shooting specific grip and forearm drills that I do…
1. When I’m doing pull-ups or pull downs, isometric hangs, or carrying buckets,
I keep my index finger straight.This is because of 2 things.First, I want to
isolate moving my index finger from moving the rest of my fingers so that I
can grip the gun isometrically while pressing straight back with my index
finger.Second, the further away from the axis of rotation that I can apply
force on the grip, the more effective it will be. In other words, if I apply
rearward force high on the front of the grip, it won’t be as effective as
the exact same amount of force applied at the bottom of the grip.That means
that, even though the pinkie finger is weaker than the ring or middle
finger, it’s in the best position to stop muzzle flip from recoil. If
you’re shooting one handed, the most important fingers, for managing muzzle
flip, in order, are the pinkie, ring, and middle fingers.
2. Hammer/broom handle drill using icepick hold
Several times a week, I take a broom, staff, or hammer, hold it in my hand
in an icepick grip (sticking out the pinkie side instead of sticking out the
thumb side) with my arm hanging straight down, and the end of the
stick/hammer pointed backwards and wave it up and down. This strengthens the
ulna/pinkie side of the forearm, which is the part of the forearm that is
most engaged in managing muzzle flip.
One of the “in” things to do lately has been to do reverse wrist curls in
the gym to get big cord-looking muscles on the outside of the forearm that
look really cool in pictures. That’s fine…and I’m a little envious every
time I see them…but they don’t help very much with shooting. If you want to
look good in pictures, do reverse wrist curls. If you want to manage recoil
well, do drills while holding stuff in an icepick grip.
And here’s what it looks like when you put it all together.
For more on the finer points of the “Vise” Grip concept and why it’s so
effective, I suggest that you check out this groundbreaking at-home training
that you can get today for less than the cost of a single trip to the range.

The one thing I’ve noticed over the many years is how much better/easier it
is to rapidly and accurately manipulate the trigger on a 1911, than my SIG
229, Beretta 92, Glock, et cetera.
It’s all about the trigger length of discharge per shot, and how well it
works versus trigger pulls that might be 3.4″ or more during each stroke.
Not long ago during a practice, I easily shot controlled pairs with the
rounds within two inches of each other at 3-5 yards. 1911s are good for this
sort of thing.
Just my .02. Your results may vary. Now I need to practice three shots in
rapid practice.

down range. Thanks John

Just a note that, with a revolver, cocking your support hand down to its
limit of motion will probably put your support thumb forward enough to feel
the effects of exhaust gasses coming from the small gap between the forward
part of the cylinder and the barrel. I hear that can be quite painful.
* Ox
Reply January 27, 2017
Revolvers are a different animal and you put your support and thumb around
the back of the hammer, so it won’t get hit by the exhaust gasses.

Good article. Read it, liked it, saved it. One thing I always notice about
myself is that it’s easier to tell what someone else is doing when they
shoot, than it is to tell what I’m doing myself. That makes analyses like
this really valuable to me as I try to improve with every shot.
The comment about the double tap shot one and shot two being a few inches
apart reminded me of shooting USPSA meets. My situation didn’t have as much
to do with recoil as with traversing the gun faster than I was pulling the
trigger. I noticed that when engaging a line of silhouettes with a
requirement for two hits each, my first and second shot would be separated by
several inches in the direction I was traversing. So, if shooting from left
to right, hit number two on any given target would be a few inches to right
of hit number one. Even though I generally always got them both in the
scoring radius, that told me that I was rushing the traverse.
As the saying goes . . . “You can’t miss fast enough to win.”

Hey great article! Everything makes sense but I think I’m going to have
trouble switching. This grip will work well in competition but how about in
an emergency for defensive shooting? Do you always grip your gun the same?
* Ox
Reply February 6, 2016
EVERYTHING we do is geared towards defensive shooting as a primary goal and
competition as a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th level goal. As to your question,
yes…there is no “natural” pistol grip. Most people are random in how they
grip their gun…and they’ll be random when they grip it in a defensive
shooting situation. Some people practice a specific grip until it becomes a
conditioned response that requires no conscious thought to execute. If you
practice the vise grip consistently, that’s what you’ll execute when you
don’t have time to think about what you’re doing.

Ox – as always, some very good and useful info. Do you teach live classes?
Where would I find a course schedule? I have ordered and practiced the
Concealed Carry Masters DVD Course. Pointing at the target with the support
side thumb (cocking it down) and with the strong side index finger was a very
good tip. Thanks. I also have the Insight computer course – very helpful.
But, as one of the other commenters said; getting into “the zone” does not
come so easily. I know Matt and Sherrie teach a separate class on that
(making a GIP on your gun and focusing on that); but I do not think I can
travel the distance to AZ. I have had 2 spinal cord injuries. Any help on
getting into “the zone” quickly? Thanks for your help and time.

Thanks, Larry. I am going to be teaching more this year…for the classes

with Insight (they’re sold out through September right now), it will be in
Prescott. For small and private lessons, it’ll be in western Montana,
Northern Idaho, or Eastern Washington.
A lot of the Insight process is proprietary. Let me talk with Matt and
Sherrie about how much they’re comfortable with me sharing outside of a
class.

In your advice you talked about feet placement. I read to keep your feet
parallel not one in front. The reason it allows you a even turning. In the
video the person has that stance. I also been told to keep my knees bent and
lean slightly forward. I shoot a 357 pistol still learning thank you for your
great teaching lesson.

Reply February 5, 2016
Please don’t take what I said in the article as dogmatic…or almost anything
that I say. Almost everything related to fighting in general and shooting
in particular is a trade-off of some kind. Rifle vs. pistol for daily
carry. Speed vs. precision. 9 vs. .45.
You’ll notice that some MMA fighters square up on their opponent instead of
the traditional left-foot-forward stance…to present an unusual profile, to
be able to throw combinations as both a right hander and left hander, and
to be able to react to lateral movement without having to rotate as
quickly.
A square stance works well for shooting too. But you’re going to give up
some recoil control and the smaller/less strong you are, the more
pronounced the difference will be. If you’ve got ironworker forearms, you
can probably go one step further, balance on 1 foot, and have the same
control as a smaller person who’s doing everything right.
I re-watched the video and my left foot appears to be half a foot ahead of
my right foot. Normally it’s a full foot ahead of my right foot, but the
board on the ground changed things up slightly.
I agree on keeping your knees bent and leaning slightly forward. On leaning
slightly forward, this is EXPONENTIALLY harder to do as waist size gets
bigger. For people who have a belly, a forward leaning stance quickly
becomes a torturous stress position, especially if they already have issues
with their lower back.
Why do I bring up the belly? Ideally, you want to cock your left wrist more
than I can. Ideally, you want to have one foot in front of the other.
Ideally, you want to lean forward at the waist. But reality isn’t so
cut-and-dry and you’re going to find a combination that works best for you
and your situation.

I am 73 now but I learned the push-pull method from Jeff Cooper long, long
ago. I was putting snake bite holes in an 8 inch target during double tap
training and Jeff kept saying, crank up the wick Frank. If you can shoot that
accurately, you can shoot faster and still have your hits within the 8 inch
circle.” It took me a while to get comfortable with shooting faster and a bit
less accurate but still on target.
Your comments about the vise grip and push/pull method of holding the pistol
are spot on and many shooters really need that information. Great advice –
love your replies.

I occasionally shoot and enjoy revolvers, but I haven’t gone nearly as far
down the rabbit hole with them and can’t give you a good answer. Logically,
the same lateral forces that a rope grip imparts on a semi-auto would also
apply to a revolver and the vise grip would remove them. I’d try it if I
were you and please let me know if you see a noticeable difference.

Reply July 3, 2015
Will do, Richard. Are you using a muzzle break? One big tip is to push with
your support hand instead of pulling. The dynamic tension created by
pulling with your shooting hand and pushing with your support hand will
help stabilize the gun, regardless of whether or not you have it shouldered
or out from your chest/shoulder.

Just one question: I know the drill was over, but why stand up and “shut
down” right away at the end, instead of maintaining focus, stance, and cover
for a moment. If a bad guy is not really down for the count, he’ll shoot you.
We do as we practice, and if a rookie thinks “it’s over now” and it isn’t, it
could be fatal.

Reply July 3, 2015
Good question. That was actually a stage at the IDPA Indoor National
Championships and it wasn’t a drill…it was a timed and scored stage for
competition.
A couple of things on your question…
EVERYONE compromises with the “we do as we practice” idea. I don’t disagree
with your suggestion. You’re correct. In an ideal world, we should do
exactly what you say every time. But we all make rational and prudent
compromises in our training. Here are a few examples of other places where
I (and almost everyone else) compromises in my training.
1. I ran the gun dry and had no more mags. Should I have pulled out my
knife and run up and stabbed the targets? Should I have run up to them,
kicked them to the ground, and flipped them over to their stomachs?
2. There were other people in the room (the Range officer, safety officers,
and other shooters). Should I take control of the scene and tell them all
to turn around, face away from me, and put their guns on the ground?
3. I should do a 360 degree scan for more threats and ignore the 180 rule.
4. I should practice calling 911 after each stage…complete with a live
person on the other end of the phone. Shouldn’t I practice my interaction
with the police 5-10 minutes later?
5. I should define the situation and verbally challenge the attackers
before shooting, if it makes sense. Shouldn’t I be yelling the entire time
I’m shooting?
6. I should *maybe* run away instead of charging the targets.
7. I should keep shooting until the targets are no longer threats…but
wait…the cardboard on sticks weren’t really threatening me in the first
place.
8. Since FBI stats say that it takes 2.4-2.9 rounds to stop a threat,
shouldn’t I put 3 rounds into each threat?
9. Since the majority of times when firearms are used in self defense, no
shots need to be fired, shouldn’t we practice drawing and having the
targets run away for every time that we actually shoot?
Again, I’m not disagreeing with the factual accuracy of what you’re saying.
You’re correct. But we live in a world of limited time and our training and
drills normally have to focus on certain aspects of reality at the expense
of others. In this case, there were 300 shooters who shot this stage. If
everyone would have done the stage “correctly” and “realistically”, it
would have turned the 3-4 day competition into a 6-8 day competition and
