Rick,

I was one of those that was tought this method by the Army and it works. I was amazed when I shot a pistol better this way (in a combat situation) rather than using the sights. Next time you go to the range, give it a try.

On the same subject, we were in training and it was at night. We were approx 3-4 meters from the target and the instrucor said he will teach us to use our brain and don't rely on our eyes, they will mislead you. The instructor said to fire 3 rounds into the target as fast as possible. we grew our weapon, fired, and reholstered/ By using the "point and shoot" method we did very well and the shots were "kills" in the chest. NOW, he said he will turn off ALL the light, and at a point he would blow his whistle; we were to draw our weapon and fire three rounds into the target and reholster. He said before the lights go off, to look at the target and get a mental image. We did this, the lights go off, after a number of seconds, the whistle blows, we fire three rounds and reholster. The lights cam on and we checked our targets. I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I SAW. Of the 5 people on the line, 4 had a better group than with the lights on! The 4 groups of 3 shots could be covered by a can of Skoal. Your brain works and your eyes will mislead you. Try this point and shoot for combat type fun. You will be amazed.
