Justin,
The 21 foot comment was without the use of sights, at thta range I'll not miss as fast as I can pull the trigger. I've kept 22 shots from that sightless 45 on a torso at 60 feet as well [ just to see how far I could extend the Quick Kill shooting ]. I can go further out and some of the aar's on my own site show the student being able to take head size rocks and bust em without the use of sights over 90% of the time.
If the furtherst shot on that stage was under 15 feet, getting a flashsight picture or even looking at the gun is totally unnecessary when you have been shown how to make the hits without looking at the gun..
Something which I am unconcerned with in this instance. The discussion is in regards to point-shooting, and I've offered my experience (which is obviously not negative) with it.
If that is true, I misunderstood your original comment in this thread about the "misses" where pointshooting was concerned, and if you reread my response to that comment, you'll see why I addressed that in that manner. If that was not your intend, I apologize. I was not the only one who took that comment that way however, so perhaps your statement was not as consice as it could have been to convey exactly what you meant by it.
I'm certainly not demonstrating animosity toward anyone here. Simply explaining that those people properly trained to not have to rely on the weapons sights can make called shots into COmM all day long from distances others would think impossible.
I never said that. If you can hit a target at 30 feet without even seeing the gun, well, bully for you. I don't understand the need to get so defensive.
The above seems to need clarification as well. Point shooting is not about whether you can see the gun or not [ which suggests you and perhaps others think pointshooting is all from the hip ]. Threat focused skills [ what others call pointshooting ] is being able to use a gun without looking at it, the focus is on the threat. Not focusing on the threat, back to verify any form of sights in alignment or front sight press work, then back to the threat. It is pure threat focused shooting, never taking you eyes off the threat, and ignoring the gun using any direct visual imput.
Peoples perceptions of exactly what pointshooting is is part of the problem Justin, your perception that I stated I could use QK to 30 feet meant the gun was out of visual range is one of the reasons for half the discussions going downhill like they do on the forums. Pointshooting is not described as just shooting without seeing the gun, it is about where your direct focus is directed when you pull the trigger.
