Point Shooting Book

[MegademiC]

Im not an expert by any means, but Ive found practicing with sights will allow you to point shoot effectively.

For example- I dont wait for the dot on targets 5-7 yards and in if it feels good- I shoot and pick up the dot in recoil. Im not good enough to see the dot and still get sub second draws yet- but im getting mostly As and all within C-zone.

Repetition with sights builds consistency.
I’ve never practiced point shooting with a pistol.

One of the problems with discussing "point shooting" is that it lacks a common definition and reference. Some methods are point-and-hope. Others involve developed body orientation and indexing using alignment and/or superimposition of combinations of limb, hand, gun, or gun parts. You won't win a fast coin or a match with a lot of it, but you can do some pretty adequate to good shooting where conditions allow or require.

You are correct 100% Sir. Lots of miss information and lack of actual understanding on the subject by the masses. Point shooting, index, instinct, threat focused, target focused... all similar but not the same. Although the masses see them as such. A little like, front sight focus, flash sight picture and subconscious sight picture...all different, all using the sights but in different ways.

You’re on the right track. You’re not point shooting on those 5-7 yard targets, you’re seeing what you need to make what you define as an acceptable hit. Seeing the target and the back of your gun/optic squares up on it is enough.

One of the best things I’ve heard recently that resonated with me was on Steve Anderson’s podcast when he differentiates aiming vs seeing the sights. Once you have a good index index it’s just a matter of applying the amount of visual patience and trigger control to make the shot.
