Amen! I was a martial arts instructor for several years and everyone was always trying to throw fast strikes. I always told them if they wanted to go fast, they needed to go slowly. Of course, their response was, "What?!"
Agreed. Learned that from Goju Ryu. lol..took a few bloody noses.

OP, I've been shooting pistols since I was 12 years old. Never allowed to do rapid fire or double/triple taps. My uncles and my father always brought me to the range to shoot target. As I got older and before the police academy I started training. Not just shooting, but training. I went above great because of all those years adding up in over a decade of shooting, learning trigger reset and recoil management was an excellent muscle memory tuning that I was blessed with, but at the time I didn't understand why they didn't let me. Also, a lot of ranges here in Miami don't allow it anyways.

My eyes opened up like Daniel-san in Karate Kid, with painting the fence and waxing the car. You gotta crawl before you can walk.
