Single Action DOUBLE TAPS!

Welcome to the channel guys!
This is my very first video covering one of the many techniques we use in the sport of cowboy action shooting. Whether you're a cowboy shooter or not this technique is a fun way to perform fast follow up shots with your single action revolver. Heck! Get good enough and you might be able to make two shots sound like one!

I hope you guys like the video, I'm still learning about the whole video process. We'll be working to improve our videos with each and every one so check back often, or better yet subscribe so you don't miss out on these cool techniques!
See y'all in the next video...or better yet, on the range!

Gotta slow down that thumb boy ATF's gonna arrest you for being an unregistered machine gun

[@johnmetcalfe2482]

Bump thumb...

[@henryofskalitz2228]

Everyone hates the atf with their unconstitutional laws

[@rickysmith4481]

Right!

[@RabidPrimeape]

Might have to get a tax stamp for that thumb!!

[@casthedemon]

God they're annoying.

[@BULPIN847]

Finally somebody shows the right way to shoot a single action. Nice job bro very smooth very fast very accurate

[@Marlin7830]

About 4 or 5 months ago I saw this video and it inspired me to pick CAS back up after more than 20 years of being away from the game. Now I got a couple Pieta 357's been to a match and like I'm reborn. Thanks DeadEye I hope to see you out there someday.

[@DeadEyeCowboyActionShooting]

That's awesome to hear! Welcome back, see ya out there!

[@kentwilliams4152]

I grew up with an old single six Ruger and in the years that followed served in the submarine service and the the U.S. Border Patrol. During my time in the Patrol I served 9 years as a Firearms Instructor at the Federal Law Enforcement Trainng Center and I can say that I have NEVER seen anything like that. I was truly “Blown Away!” REQUEST: I have seen Lomghunter do the one round reload which was amazing and that would be a great thing to show folks. If they are defending themselves with a SAA it could make a Big difference. Thanks...

[@BigBadBalrog]

Finally, someone shows what's happening when the cowboys fan the hammer. I always wondered if the trigger reset itself and needed to be pulled again or if the sear stayed disengaged from the hammer.

[@brandonjohnson3451]

This is awesome to see. I'm 23 and carry a rough rider with the 22 wmr cylinder every day nearly and to see someone else shoot like this is amazing when with today there are so many tactical nuts that are so biased to a auto loader which there's nothing wrong with that but it is always nice to see a well disciplined fellow slinger 👍👍

[@cw4933]

How many trigger springs have you gone through? I had mine only a week before it broke, I won’t try any more trick shots.

[@mattisenberger4042]

Your not alone bro. We do it that way here in Texas. Been that way for centuries.

[@EPGunman]

@@cw4933 depends on the fun maker as to spring quality. Go with an after market spring kit and it will help. The upgrade shouldn’t cost a lot from a good company. I just ordered a fresh spring kit for my Uberti Hombre in .357/.38. I went with the wire trigger and bolt spring in my kit instead of the flat spring. Good luck.

[@cw4933]

@@EPGunman are you sure they have those for the heritage 22 though, it doesn’t seem the type, I just ordered an extra one, real flimsy those things.

[@EPGunman]

@@cw4933 I am not 100% but I have never seen one for the rough rider guns.

[@captbart3185]

Great video. I’ve read about shots so fast they sound like a single shot but this is the first time I’ve ever seen it done. Well done and thanks for the video.

[@9unslin9er]

[@pgsibilo]

This Video makes me love Single Action Revolvers even more 👍👍👍

[@ricardorodriguez5549]

Thank you for the education and for providing an alternative to the tacticool dudes. I like the low-key, Joe Friday presentation.

[@crocholiday]

Great video! Now a double tap video for duelist / gunfighters 😃

[@swedeson6188]

I like your double tap, its awsome! I had a colt single action (copy) before and did double taps in a different way. I cocked the hammer with my drawing hand while getting on target and shoot, then i "fanned" it with my other hand. It Was a "BABAM", almost impossible to hear it was two shots. Anyway, i appriciate your videos, Patrik - Sweden.

[@dillonsheehan7646]

Dude I'm up here in Canada, just saw this video and subscribed to my very first channel, I mean I just don't do that. You did a really awesome job on this, your first video, and I only want to say the demo was clean, clear and easy to follow, not to mention executed flawlessly. As far as your approach & production, don't change a damd thing you just did. All the best, Dillon.

[@scottwilson1258]

You made that Look Much Simpler than it is.... Practice! Thank You

[@letsgobrandon5858]

Love the video! I just bought a .45LC for bear defense with 260 loads.. Wanted to work on some speed shots when needed! Thanks again!

[@MrZola1234]

Real good job. Making sure on that aim is a big deal. I remember Fredrick Jackson Turner telling me the follow up shots tend to be a bit higher. Keeping my front site a bit below center seems to be effective for me.

[@HomerEscobar1]

Mean while, here is little me trying to double tap a 4click hammer and only getting to 3 clicks on the second go, my left thumb is about worthless. I know it's an old video but that is still some awesome shooting dead eye.

[@rocketman374]

Wow that's incredible! On a production note, get a microphone closer to your voice, or at least a more high quality directional mic. Also run some compression on the audio to help smooth out the difference between the quiet and loud parts. And the biggest thing is to make sure the dialog is the same volume as the music clips you use, that's the biggest mistake I see people make and it's an unpleasant surprise to crank the stereo when you're talking then have the stock music clips blow out your ear drums. Lol Keep up the good work though I can't wait to see what you do! Subscribed!

[@DustinB1978]

Really great video , both in production and content. Keep it coming.

[@BeardedCoffeeMonkey]

Great first video. You've obviously done your KZbinr homework. ;) The close up slow-mo was a great addition. I'm still getting into CAS (still researching and looking at gear) and I look forward to more of your informative videos.

[@DeadEyeCowboyActionShooting]

Thanks! And welcome to to the game! Have you been to any matches yet?

[@Zfirearms]

Great video, I’m a single action fan so I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Your first video was good, camera work and editing were excellent and most important the sound was great didn’t have to keep turning my volume up and down. Keep up the good work

[@jimf3932]

Very well done, Deadeye.

[@evolvedape9171]

Sir, you are doing gymnastics with your thumb. You must be on the same level as Mr. Jerry Miculek. I salute your skill. Two thumbs up.

[@johndoe3210]

Wow. This dude is a great teacher. Subbed.

[@avsafetytek]

Sweet 🇺🇸👍🏽

[@phosphor112]

I've been looking for Cowboy Action shooting stuff for a while and this is the first time seeing this channel. You have my interest. Also, I have the Taylor's Runnin' Iron that is very similar to that, so this applies to me perfectly. Subscribed.

[@mhoosier75]

Good 1st couple of videos! I’d love to see a follow-up to this one where you talk about how (if) you string double taps together or work them into shot strings.

[@jamesakarustler3508]

Awesome video, very well done👍. Great explanations of the technique. Keep it up 😁

[@dewidiot79]

Man this is crazy impressive.

[@rohnsleather9986]

Really good video. I thoroughly enjoyed it!! Looking forward to the next one.

[@terrybaird3122]

I am more of a semi-auto guy but once upon a time, decided I wanted to get into SASS. It was a good excuse to acquire some cool old school gear, but sadly, I discovered that I will never be fast enough with a single action to be remotely competitive, even at the local level. I still shoot my Vaqueros on occasion though, and watching you shoot was amazing. Good luck with your channel,(subscribed), and I am looking forward to more.

[@mkshffr4936]

Fabulous. The best demo of slip hammer I have seen. Subscribed immediately. Somewhat unrelated (more of a tactical SA issue not applicable to CAS) have you ever tried single handed slip hammer (think multiple close quarters shot while grappling)? P.S. I agree with Winslow, had trouble hearing your voice and then intro music blasts in. Same with gunshots.

[@DeadEyeCowboyActionShooting]

Thanks! My first video was an editing nightmare, lol. Honestly, for self defence, I wouldn't be using a single action.

[@legallimitoutdoors9917]

Nice bro!! That was bad ass. 🇺🇸

[@oolooo]

Charles Richards and William Mason just felt very honoured by you from Heaven

[@redgolf845]

Dawn bro. Speechless, and you are so young too. Wao!!! RESPECT...

[@SlickSixguns]

Great tips I shoot duelist good editing for a first vid took me a while to learn mine and I keep learning also a mic really helps something another more experienced KZbinr taught me it makes a world of difference

[@DeadEyeCowboyActionShooting]

Thanks Slick, The sad part is I have a heck of a mic sittin on top of my full frame DSLR and biffed it in the editing room.

[@SlickSixguns]

Dead Eye it happens anyway welcome to making vids online!

[@w.g.6961]

You are what La'mour would call a "heller with a gun." Great work man. Subscribed.

[@noelcollins1072]

I enjoyed your video, very cool. Thanks for showing that technique!

[@elcatorce]

Just became a sub. Awesome vid... can’t wait for your next installment on pistol shooting techniques.

[@Ty33190]

Like all of us do? You are a little more advanced than we are sir! Cool video though, I’m going to master it.

[@CostcoComrade]

guy reached for the root beer shelf

[@dalereed3442]

would have never known it was your video if you hadnt told us.. great job!! Im subscribing...

[@larryclark9380]

Awesome. Thanks “Dead Eye.” Looking forward to trying this CAS stuff. Have a shotgun, one pistol, and another pistol on layaway. Have enough to practice what you have shown here. Appreciate you taking the time to share. Motivational. Need this kind of pin point training.

[@subdawg1331]

had to come back and watch this again awesome

[@docsavage101]

Thanks for a great instructional and informative subject I'll have to try this with my cap and ball remingtons

[@aramirez8427]

DAMN....that's awesome....

[@bwasman8409]

Very good presentation! Thank you!

[@356c2]

Thank you Dead Eye! Great tutorial on the single action double tap! The Telemark Kid

[@jonbrooks6522]

Great vid, awesome technique. Thanks

[@JEDiTV]

Dead Eye, great first video. Content 👍 Editing 👍 (that’s 2 Gunfighter-Thumbs-Up). - Jed Eye... er, I. 😉 I noticed you were shootin’ on the move. Do you also participate in Western 3 Gun?

[@DeadEyeCowboyActionShooting]

Thanks Jed I! Me and some buddies do on our own ranges but no one host matches around here.

[@timbersniper2084]

this video is awesome

[@appamtnculture1302]

I am amazed!

[@jadahoob99]

Impressive! Thanks from a new subscriber!

[@BingoMontana]

Excellent first vide! Looking forward to more content.

[@gumecindogarcia1070]

Good stuff

[@FingerAngle]

I'ma try it this weekend.

[@AsaTheEvilOne]

Wish I watched your video before I went to the gun range. I had no idea that how you unload the gun. I was spinning the cylinder and shaking my gun lol

[@dougmoore5252]

You are pretty fast. I saw you several time shooting 2 and 3 shoots.

[@manuelpatterson8002]

I want a black powder gun. Not a felon but I don't like the atf.

[@fancyultrafresh3264]

Just stumbled across this, very nice technique dude.

[@carycary5824]

Looks like you’ve made the leads on the cylinder longer for spring action. Also shooting that fast can mess up the bolt if you haven’t installed a side brace, so to speak, on the right hand side of the bolt to keep it from actually bending. You’re basically fanning the action with your thumb. Not recommended on SA revolvers unless built as a race gun.

[@sketabug1259]

Very informative video can't wait for the next one

[@lylesmith6304]

Slick !

[@rtpl100]

Excellent content! Just a suggestion - since this is geared towards SASS and CAS, maybe eliminate the parts that are not SASS-legal. When I post this to my Social Media sites, I have to repeatedly explain that no, shooting on the move is not allowed and no, spinning a gun is not allowed... I'm not being critical. The video is great! But, newbies don't know any different.

[@ericbrabham3640]

I'm kind of late to the party but must say I loved the video

[@gavenevans]

That was nuts 😂😂 just got my first single action and looking to get like this 😂🤙

[@beardedwonder8397]

Great video, Thank you looking forward to the next one. Going to put a link to it on the wire.

[@IfYouHadRobotEars]

Great video! Look forward to more!

[@SunBrohan]

Pretty sick man I'm going to practice this Thanks for the video!

[@texan2560]

Great first video.

[@xxtwattwafflexx1]

This was great. Keep them coming.

[@JeffinTD]

Nice video.

[@scot2hot45]

Great first video love the content keep it up!

[@oklahomadeekcsneed7483]

Excellent! Many thanks cowboy!

[@patmcghie706]

Good Job, just subscribed

[@John90XJ]

Thanks! Nice job on number 1. Only suggestions are to take your hat off inside so the light is better on your face and add a wireless mic to your shirt so we can hear when you walk away. I know it's an enormous task to do these well, this is a great first effort. I'm subscribed! ~Johnny Reno

[@rtpl100]

Good instructional video. Nice job! I'm going to put a link to it on my FB page, SASS and Cowboy Action Shooting.

[@DeadEyeCowboyActionShooting]

Thanks! Feel free to share!

[@travisgilbert8416]

Thst was incredible! How much slower and less accurate would moving up to .357 or .45 colt make you? Very impressive!

[@kkhan8]

Amazing stuff

[@TheOTJ]

Awesome Video Dead Eye! I have a question about your grip. Are you putting your pinky under the grip on your strong hand? How tight are you squeezing your strong hand versus your off-hand?

[@DeadEyeCowboyActionShooting]

Thanks! Yup, its under the grip. It's just natural for me with my hand size vs grip size. In cowboy I grip my pistol just under the point of shaking, but only with my strong hand. Weak hand stays loose, almost off the gun to run it.

[@TheOTJ]

@@DeadEyeCowboyActionShooting I need to practice my grip I think. I seem to miss the second shot quite often when trying to double-tap. More dry fire needed!

[@homoerot03]

this is amazing!

[@totesmagoats-cowboyactions4339]

Good stuff Dead Eye!

[@123andme]

Now I have a reason to shoot my .22 wrangler more often other than price of a .22 ammo box being the only ammo right now that is less than a tank of fuel.

[@jorgergonzalezvisualartist8925]

Great video!!

[@ethancollins598]

i wanna see a video for double action SINGLE TAPS! literally just going step by step on how to pull a trigger.

[@JohnnyFirst]

Good job, pard! Regards from Russia ;)
