I learned how to point and shoot in the Army basic training, 1968.
We had class with point and shoot with lever action BB guns. The method was to have your buddy throw up a tin pan and hit it. With the sound of a hit, then your buddy threw up smaller tin pans until the goal was to hit a tin pan the size of a silver dollar consistently. I used this method the rest of my life especially hunting with a shotgun. I carried a M-79 in Nam and used this technique while walking close to point in Nam.
Of course this point and shoot is good for short range only. The distance is determined by your accuracy. You can improve this technique by practice with smaller caliber weapons and even a BB gun. You will be surprised with your results.
