Point Shooting Home Study Course

[Matthew Temkin]

My 5 part point shooting course has been enlarged and updated by the good folks at www.pointshooting.com
IT is entitled POINT SHOOTING AS TAUGHT BY FAIRBAIRN, APPLEGATE AND SYKES. PART 1 and PARTS 2-5.
Good job, gents and thanks.

I haven’t checked out the link yet but I have a copy of his video and highly recommend Matthew and Point Shooting to anyone who is interested in learning a battle tested and proven technique from very good teacher.

I am confused. I surfed the site a bit and it looked like the PS being described is the one where you super glue the little rain gutter on the pistol and pull the trigger with your middle finger. Is that the system?

OK, now I got it. There are several methods listed on pointshooting.com. I was looking at the wrong one.

Matt,

You are going to be giving a Point Shooting presentation at the get-together in Memphis, right?

I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Matthew Temkin]

Yes indeed.
And WW2 knife fighting as well.

Click on Upcoming Training Events and then click on WarriorTalk Symposium.
Thanks to everyone here for the kind words, BTW.

Thanks Mr. Temkin-very interesting stuff.

I'll try the P&S live fire the next time I'm able. I have been practicing dryfire a bit however and I'm finding some moderate difficulty: when I align the index finger alongside/below the slide, my thumb wants to reposition itself under the safety to make up for the added support the addition of two fingers on the shooting hand pressing on the weapon is giving. This of course is making drawing and turning off the safety a bit difficult, and the the index finger alone as the trigger finger and turning off the thumb safety is a bit like rubbing your belly and the top of your head at the same time as it is

Perhaps additional practice may develop some muscle memory there.

Regards,

Chris Williams

Quite frankly I prefer a pistol which does not have a manual safety, as did Fairbairn and Sykes.
Although they issued single action autos to the SMP, they had all the safeties pinned down.
I am not exactly sure what difficulty you are having, since the thumb should be under the safety while exerting inward pressure.
FWIW I also prefer the hammer grip, as opposed to Fairbairn's preference of having the thuimb forward.
