"Multiple studies have shown benefits of caffeine in improving endurance. Military studies have shown caffeine increase vigilance in sleep deprived and one study showed improved shot group tightness."
"Recommended dosing is 5mg/kg of bodyweight. Dosing of 200-300 mg has also been used. Higher dosing has been associated with side effects that would decrease performance. Serious adverse reactions have been seen at 2,000mg so this quantity of caffeine should be avoided."
The military does some cool studies on these. Source is below, but you can find the actual study with charts on how firearm proficiency rises and drops with dose.

- LeifCarrotson 7y ago> one study showed improved shot group tightness I refrained from mentioning caffeine's other reported and studied benefits, as my understanding is they mostly disappear when alertness is compensated for. Shot group tightness, memory performance, response time, critical thinking and many other performance criteria have studies indicating that caffeine improves results, but it's hard to separate the performance enhancement of just being more alert. Maybe people shoot more accurately or memorize cards better with caffeine, or maybe they just weren't quite paying attention when not using caffeine.
