One more thing:
Where is the data whereby we can compare the success of point shooting versus aimed fire? Col. Cooper used to poo-poo the idea of point shooting this way (well, something like this): Point shooters claim great success, but produce little of it when measured.
I take that to mean this: Can point shooters achieve hits? Sure. Can they do so with this method to degrees superior to that of sighted fire? No.
What I also take that to mean is something like this: point shooting is somewhere between a close-range and a very-close-range technique. At such ranges, “acceptable hits” (inside an eight inch circle) are equal to those produced by aimers, yet with a slight edge in speed, perhaps, going to the pointers-and-shooters. Beyond these close distances, however, point shooters lose ground quickly and must turn into aimers.
But where, by the way, has the success-rate data of both techniques, measured one against the other, been quantified for the curious?
Just asking. Not intending to step on any toes.
