Sorry, I had been holding that in too long.

Seriously. This is something I plan on playing with. I read something a while back that was talking about how indians riding at full speed on horseback would raise a rifle and shoot and supposedly were highly accurate without using the sights. There's got to be something to this. I doubt accuracy would compare to sighted shots overall though.

Its sounding like it would be a good idea to be proficient in this type of shooting, especially for the first round or two in a defensive situation and then revert back to sight shooting when time allows.

I've always been a sight shooter and probably always will be, but it sounds like there's enough here to warrant some trials. Next time I go to the range I'll give it a shot and post the results.

Great posts here guys. I really appreciate you fine folks taking the time to chime in.

well said man.

i've been thinking more and more on this as time goes on. I'm about to make the switch from my 12+1 rd .45 to a 9mm I think for that very reason.
