- Ben Stoeger explains the Doubles Drill!
The doubles drill is one of the most important Marksmanship exercises for assessing how the gun moves in Recoil.
🔫
Using a reference point on the target and returning the gun only to that spot can help improve shooting accuracy.
🔫
Focusing on the target, not the Red Dot, helps to return the gun to the target.
🔑
Mastering rapid-fire engagement without pushing the gun down and maintaining control is crucial for USPSA or IDPA matches.

Probably the most helpful video I’ve watched
Thank you!
Very helpful, very good explanation of the importance of the drill. Thank you!
Great demonstration. Thank you
Ben, are you going to do any pcc videos?
Hi ben, been shooting ipsc for two years. ¿Do you have any sugestion for a person like me that has a horrible essential tremor? I hit almost all metals in my first attempt but miss papers, especialy the second shot. If i do not press the pistol with my right hand and a lot with my letf, the tremor gets worst
Whoa... a rare post.
Yes, most important, got it, especially for us newer-bies, good discussion/examples. Off to the range tomorrow... Thanks, Ben
So I guess there should be a balance between letting the gun return to zero freely and also applying some downward force to bring it down but not too much as to force the dot out of the window?
So I gotta ask, are you wearing tape on your fingers to keep the joints straight? I'm a professional guitarist who just started shooting last year and is about to get into USPSA, and I've had some issues in the tip/mid joints of my index or middle fingers on either hand. Is this common? Do a lot of shooters develop issues in their finger joints?
I don't know about Ben, but I've been an IPSC shooter for about 5 years and I sometimes use a bit of tape on my right middle finger to prevent it from getting scratched by the trigger guard when I'm drawing my gun, I don't use it for straightening my joints, hope that makes sense!
Looks like the tape is on his high-wear areas that touch the bottom of the trigger guard: index finger support hand, middle finger firing hand 👍
gooootcha, thanks for the insight!
Yeah... get that Pro Shop channel cooking again!
So what do you do to fight the upwards pull of recoil, because when you just let the gun go up and held it there after one shot it was way higher then in your final example of doubles? Do you pull the gun down but only reactively after you see it rise vs anticipating the recoil and trying to cancel it out like most shooters? Or is it something else?
Recoil control is visual. Focus on the paster, overlay the dot over the paster like you would with a mouse pointer.
@@arbyssauce so like I said, pulling the gun back to the target reactively rather than trying to anticipate that motion
@@arbyssauce or in other words don’t fight the recoil till you’ve broken the shot
@@MatthewC176 no, you never fight recoil. You accept the recoil and either predictively return (confirmation 1) or reactively return (confirmation 2/3) with your vision.
@@notetaking9308 I don’t mean struggling with it, I just mean pulling it back down onto target reactively after it pulls my arms off target, if you watch the video he demonstrates just letting it go up after one shot and his gun/arms end up twice as high compared to when he’s actually shooting a drill, so I’m trying to find out what he does to minimize that climb and speed up that return because I’ve never seen him discuss it before
