Then, when you bring up your camera to focus and compose, you will always turn the focus lever in one direction, join the double image, recompose and shoot. Other way is to always keep estimating the distance to your potential subjects and keep scale pre-focusing, and when you are ready to shoot, you can either fine tune the focus or just shoot. BTW, once you're good at the distance estimation, you'll shoot really fast, provided that your exposure estimation and pre-set is "on", :-). So don't give up and practice, practice, practice...
