Point shooting [View all]

It's something I've incorporated into my dry fire exercises. I'm looking forward to trying it out at the local shooting range when the weather gets better.

The point shooting I'm talking about is what Rex Applegate taught during WWII and after. Not what one may see on YouTube where the shooter is firing from the hip with the arm at a 90 degree angle.

Was wondering if anyone else here uses this method?

The value I see in it is it would be a useful skill in low light or dark conditions where one may not be able to see the sights and for those people who can't spend much time on the range acquiring very accurate shooting skills.
