Sounds like a second rate instructor.LikesShinyThings wrote:LOL. That reminds me of the first (and only) time I tried to "aim by pointing my index finger at the target" (during a class related to defensive shooting). I missed so badly it wasn't even funny. It's years ago now, so my memory is getting foggy, but I don't think I even hit the target - a paper plate at something like 3 or 5 yards. That was the same class where I was told "shoot with both eyes open" and discovered that I have this problem of what I not-so-fondly call "conditional dominance" with my eyes.Paladin wrote:for sighed shooting, I'd suggest training to close one eye. That way you will always be consistent. Consistency is vital to developing accuracy.
For target focused shooting, just keep 'em both open Kill or get Killed. You simply index your body and the gun to the target.
Target focused shooting takes technique and practice. With proper technique I get consistently hit head-shots at 20ft using target focused shooting. In an actual gunfight the mind tends to naturally focus on the threat. Very useful combat technique for inside 20ft. Col. Applegate ran the tests to prove it long before I was born.
