It has been four years since I began posting about point shooting on internet forums.
There has been much good....metting men such as 7677, Brownie, Geezer, SWB and many others--but there has been much BS to put up with as well.
Quite frankly I never understood the outright hostitlity the topic would bring out, especially on forums such as Glock Talk.
I submit that the ability to place a rapid fire burst of bullets into a surpringsly small target and with very good accuracy is a very handy skill to master.
The fact that point shooting has a proven track record and can be rapidly learned is another checkmark in it's favor.
I will continue to post both historical and "how to" material on the topic on a wide variety of open internet forums, but will no longer be dragged into internet debates.
Those who agree that point shooting is an important part of the puzzle are welcome to learn it, and those who do not are welcome to ignore it.
Actually, I learned a long time ago that there are many lurkers out there who are interested but never post and rarely contact me directly.
One such man, a police Sgt from a large department ---and who's officers have used point shooting with deadly effect at lleast 6 times---sent me this email, a part of which I will paste over here...
"Shot a little yesterday for practice. Y'know, I quick drawed and fired one handed, 3/4 hip from 20 ft. and put four rounds in the chest of a silhouette, just right of center (as I look at the target, about where the heart sits). Could cover them with a fist. And they say it can't be done !
I continue to shoot and learn of course, but lately have put more attention to my combatives (H2H). Thanks to you and Carl.
Take it easy. Have fun this weekend, sorry I can't make it."
I will repeat this one more time.....
POINT SHOOTING IS A COMPLIMENT TO AIMED FIRE---NOT A REPLACEMENT!!!!
