3 RULES @ 3:25 mark:
1) HOLD THE GUN REALLY TIGHT
2) POINT THE GUN AT THE TARGET
3) PULL THE TRIGGER WITHOUT WARNING
Remember Lucky Mc Daniels? He taught people to hit aspirin pills in the air with a BB gun.
Are you closing one eye?

“I was told by an at the time active SEAL that they go down to the range daily and go thru 500-1500 rounds, generally practicing point shooting, as this is a perishable skill that they MUST have.”
In the good old days, you might be able to do that many rounds weekly.
Now, if you go to the range and fire off 2 boxes you feel like you just blew off $100+.
In a different circumstance, I found that the bayonet never needed to be aimed...
True! Back in HS, there were a lot of pool halls close to me. The only way you “truly” learn is that you get beat and you pay for the table. You wont eventually learn the spirt until THEY pay..
I found that the more time I take to aim the less accurate I am. For me I get the sights on target and shoot and I have much smaller groups than trying to get the sights exactly right then firing. It really surprised me.
What Rob isn’t telling us is that he indeed sees his front sight, rear sight and the dot if he uses one.
The brain can associate and align the sights rapidly and precisely with practice. And, it does so without conscious effort once the basics have been put into both neutral and muscle memory.
If you can’t recall exactly where your front sight was when you broke the trigger and your impact doesn’t match within a few click points, you probably need to go back to deliberate aimed fire to re-impress that ideal into your automatic mind.
Research tells us that people who can recall seeing their front sight hit targets with regularity under stress, those who couldn’t, well, even if they survive, they should’ve seen that front sight.
Front sight, front sight, press.
Point shooting is simply kinesiology at work.
True point shooting, where the pistol is not in line with the eyes, is extremely useful at near contact ranges. Much past a few yards, you’ll really want to know where your front sight is at.
If you recall the video of the Texas church shooting a few years ago, the hero, a shooting instructor, drew and fired a single shot and hit the criminal in the head from about 20 yards in less than a second. His pistol a 357 SIG, wore a red dot sight and the man recalled placing it on the head of the criminal and deliberate pressing the trigger. In a second from aware to hit.
See you sight. Even if in the mental background, that’s true pistolcraft.
Aw, c’mon...I’ve seen Broderick Crawford shoot car tires from a moving helicopter without aiming.

Yes, I did forget about that. Thanks for the reminder.
I can draw my Kimber 1911 .45cal ACP 5” “Target Eclipse” from my Galco FED212 paddle Holster, in 1.5secs, fire from the mid chest, and hit the target 8 of 8 times. No need to 3-point stance and aim crap. Waste of time for me.
Kimber makes weapons that feel like an extension of your thought process. I love my K6S 4” Combat revolver.
I practice that as well, yes sir.
