I think Mr. Harsey is right about Col. Applegate's definition of point shooting. I went through the subject in Close Combat Files again.

Team Sergeant - its a shame you don't have more of an opinion on the subject. Not like you to beat around the bush so.

Thinking about this some more, I'm starting to think that its a combination of what everybody has said - body position, practice, muscle memory, confidence, etc. I thought about it yesterday a little while doing an easy exercise - I think the TS is right about the flash site. Even if I wasn't conscious of it. With the body/weapon position the way it is, I can't help but see the front site - its between the ojo and the target. It also seemed I was different on the trigger - harder if you will, and less conscious of it. Doing the same things as always, just not as refined and not a conscious effort. Nike Shooting. LOL

Still want to quit?
