In this lesson, the instructor explores a topic that many shooters find fascinating — the rate of fire, or high-tempo shooting. You will learn why this skill is one of the hardest to develop and why its foundation is trigger manipulation — fast, controlled, and consistent. The instructor explains that unlike target-acquisition speed, which can be improved relatively quickly, rate of fire is strongly influenced by individual physiology: nerve conduction speed, coordination, and fine motor skills. Some shooters are naturally gifted, while others may need years to reach an average level. Nevertheless, the instructor presents practical methods that allow every shooter to build this capability. The first preparatory drill presented is “Flash at Ten”, designed to develop the ability to perform smooth, continuous double shots.
