Your right and Thank you.
Was somewhat defending Col. Applegate's teaching because it was also called "point shooting". Here is why he named it that.
Before WW2 (and after) Army pistol marksmanship was standing straight up, holding the pistol at arms length with one hand and very carefully placing rounds into a piece of paper by getting both front and rear sights into focus over the long periods of time allowed between shots.
"Point shooting" by Applegate helped change the old military pistol target shooting style of training soldiers to go into combat.
