Point Shooting

Read the Wiki description. Stating again that the requirements of a pistol for Military or Police differs in some ways to the CCW for self defense. That said here is the ultimate, by some, Quick site, was designed for concealed carry and based on the premise that minimum shots are required and police and others have the duty of gun fights.

I use instinctive P&S (not the finger thing) out of necessity and have grown proficient enough so that BG's are in trouble if in the 5-7 yard range. My necessity is something you all should consider as you age.

I could see the color of a ground squirrels eyes at 30yds most of my life, and now I can't even see the sights unless I switch glasses, which ain't gonna happen when I need it. I read a bit about the C.A.R. method of self defense and have taken the "shoot as soon as you can level the gun at them and again as you bring it up and head shot when you see the sights" (only I don't see them much). They say the recoil will raise the shot placement so think of it like raising a zipper.

I think most have shot from the hip onetime or another for fun. Try it again from 5 yards and you will hit the COM after adjusting for the initial low shot.

PS: Here's a video of C.A.R. in action.

I have taken courses in both Point Shooting and Flash Sight Picture. Point Shooting is normally done by drawing the gun and firing from the hip, and seems well suited to snubbies at close distance. I am more accurate using Flash Sight Picture in which you pick up just the front sight in your line of vision as you concentrate on the target before firing. In this case, your arms are extended. It also helps to point both of your thumbs forward and in the direction of the intended target. If your front sight is anywhere near the rear sight notch you will hit the target with acceptable accuracy. The idea is to place a center of mass shot quickly.

Fast and easy to use a CTL and point the dot. This tool will also help to build the muscle memory needed for this type of shooting, especially through dry fire practice.

heard of the term flash sight. to me point shooting it just what it means, point and shoot. not from the hip. Shooting a shotgun is point shooting so why would the definition be any different for handgun shooting. Not arguining with u but that was the first I ever heard of flash sight terminology.
