Yep, absolutely agree. Teaching it in prone is not too hard. Most people i have seen don't think they need to worry about it when shooting off a bipod... and then they wonder why the rifle bounces sideways. Learning natural point of aim in the sitting kneeling and standing positions can be difficult, adjusting your natural POA while in position can be even more difficult to learn

yup, fun watching people have a light-bulb moment when training for IPSC. tell them to close their eyes before drawing, and then see where the pistol ends up pointing. when you add movement or forced positions it gets pretty interesting... one of the training clinics I attended we did a lot of fire at targets with both front and rear sights obscured by patches... pure body position and muscle memory.
