When I was a kid I deer hunted with an old man who shot his 12 ga from the hip. Tonite I watched bob mundon split a card in half with a handgun from the hip. Yes I understand how important careful aim is, but a practiced hip shot is aimed just not conventionaly.
So my question is........would it be foolish to practice instinct shooting expecting chest sized hits or will that develop bad habits? I'm talking about 7-10 yards with a handgun. although I used to love to hip shoot coffee cans with a shotgun and shot as a kid. On the ground of course. Is this a bad idea if shooting for actual practice and not just burning powder?
