Good shooting

At 100 yards, pistols sights tell rough direction, and 3" target is much narrower than sight notch. So, accuracy mainly depends on feeling, not sights at this distance. Another example was hip shooting, which totally depends on feeling.

At least one Olympic Pistol Shooting Gold Medal winner (air pistol? or .22?) was near sighted. I bet there were more. How could he win any competitive game without a pair of good eyes.... but he did.
