[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 847227, member: 1132"] I'm not opposed to what some people call "point shooting" (I call it indexed fire) and I use it in matches anywhere from contact diatance out to 7 yards. But the way I do it looks nothing like this "P&S" hokum that guy pushes. Bill Jordan was a proponent of point shooting out to about 10 yards, but I contend that he was no regular shooter. I find that if I try to use point shooting to gain speed beyond the range of my capability, or in situations where it's not the best option, I loose valuable points. In a gunfight that would equate to poor hits, or even misses. Not good. Transitioning from point to sighted shooting is easy and quick if you're properly indexed. The probelm I've seen is that too many shooters fail to recognize the need to transition in that split second. What comes next is staring at targets that while fairly close and easy to hit, don't have any holes where they thought they should. The best method is to become proficient in sighted fire first. Then feel free to experiment with indexed fire (point shooting). Just don't rely on it or you may get a bad surprise. [/QUOTE]
