For what it's worth:
Added the following to a thread on GT about using paper plates, and have also added on a URL to an article I plan to shop around re CQB..........
Here's a 10 inch paper plate.

Used a marker to add the rings. For the small ring, I used the center of an almost empty roll of duct tape. Marked and used both sides. Note that some holes are in, and others are out.
Used a Glock 26, 9mm, at 12 feet, and point shot in bursts of 5. Went through lots of plates besides that one.
Of interest is the location of the hits. With most of the plates the hits were lower rather than higher. I suspect that is due to the edge of the target area of the plate being held by the clip used to hold targets, and knowing that, one will mentally try and not shoot the clip, and as such shoot lower.
I also think that the plates are harder to shoot than bigger targets, as you don't know how close your "misses" are. Bigger "B" targets can show you how to correct your aim even while shooting a burst of shots.
Also used a few 11x17 inch targets at 25 feet and hit them just fine, i.e., one with 4 shots out of burst of 5, and within a group of about 7 inches.
The target ring area on the pieces of 11 x 17 inch paper, was the lower two-thirds, and most all hits were in the target ring area.
I point shot my way (P&S and with my little helper). I just point and pull one handed, or with the weak hand over the wrist of the strong hand. Not orthodox.
I also tried "plain" point shooting, (visualize, point, and shoot), more than 10 times (50+ rounds). May work fine for some, but not that well for me yet. I will try again another day.
I don't use an "indexed stance" or "indexed arm positioning" and suspect that accounted for my poor performance in attempting to shoot that way. I was pointing and blasting away, as fast as I could, and missing most of my shots.
Lastly, FYI, an officer from one of the local and large PD's in the area, was at the range and sighting in some AR's. He said he was an instructor.
Asked about Point shooting, and he said that they Point Shoot under 21 feet. As to the reason why, he said "You will be looking at the threat, not at the sights," or something very close to that.
PS I also had tried the focus-point-shoot method before with about the same results. Not good.
[[ Matt, I really tried, so I think that indexing of some sort or some MOJO that I don't have, must be the key. ]]
I also have tried the CAR method and found it to work OK, but with it one uses an "indexed" position. Looks like that is a clue.
