Thread: Aiming without sights

Experience, meaning lots of trigger time will teach you how to point shoot. As you get better you will be able to extend the distance at which you feel comfortable doing it. Everybody is different. I point shoot as i move past close targets, 8ft is my maximum comfortable range right now to hit alphas on the move, i wont point shoot at that range if i also have 2 or 3 targets to be shot from that position at longer distances, so stationary, i stay on my sights and just transition, i may point shoot the last target as i move off the position though. So its stage dependant for me.

When i do it im looking at the target and depending on what my body position is in relation to the target i may also be looking down the side of my gun or over the top of it. Theres realy no hard fast rule, its just what you feel comfortable with.

I liken it to shooting a shotgun at something from the hip, you just know wether you will hit what youre aiming at because you know your limits.

If youre talking about shooting steel targets at 30 meters from the hip and with ease then tell me what the secret is if you ever find it!
