Thank you for your input, Grasshopper.
This has been discussed ad nauseam but for you we can continue to beat this dead horse.
Had the Col attended a recent Special Forces shooting school I’m sure he would agree with how we’re now doing things. In fact I’m sure he’d be impressed. We’ve come a long way from point shooting…….. While I would agree that point shooting had its day that day has come and gone. Some of the Special Forces Vietnam Vet's taught me to point shoot, both pistol and rifle. Those techniques were good but now we've evolved to bigger and better methods.
Here are a few things to ponder, no one in the National Shooting leagues, that wins, point shoots. You will only find about one or two "firearms" instructors that actually advocate or teach point shooting. I know that no one in Special Operations is taught to point shoot, (well cept maybe our doorgunners…..) and the reason is point shooting is not surgical enough when firing into a mixed crowd. While not every SF soldier has attended our surgical shooting schools, many have and those that have teach those that have not.
Many in the US military carry pistols, very very few have been taught to use them offensively and only a handful with tact driving precision.
Please feel free to learn point shooting and I will continue to use the sights, all the time, every time.
I almost forgot, didn't I teach you to shoot a bullet hole through a bullet hole?
You cannot do that point shooting.
