An other thread that I post/read all in, had a major fall out with point shooting Instructors, I posted this in reply to their displease, what say you?
If some one goes to a class, put on by a Point Shooting advocate, pays their coin, takes the class, and is happy?
Who are we to argue with either side, Instructor or Student.
A lot of the back ground comes from Sykes and Fairbourn, kind of old, but it worked, probably still does, for that same application, fighting wee killers in Shanghai, mostly in the dark.
Not for me, what I teach, pin point accuracy... Quickly! To justify that, I have examined the shootings, out in the public domain, everybody's. Starting with the punch draw.
Cops and others, day and night, multiple assailants, at least more than 1, not an Army, but say a couple.
When teaching LEO's, I require a shot into an eye socket, across a kitchen, in two seconds, gun in hand to start, (hostage/domestic around 15' max) or a toe of a sneaker, at 15 yds (simulating a hidden youth, who tried a couple of pot shots at the Officer) behind a car dealership (oh yes, both have happened, more than once)
Most time the sights are not used properly, and trigger control is not good, this is a job for one one one, IMHO.
A ricochet 6" in front of said sneaker? Hiding behind a Dumpster, most likely will give you bigger, on the deck target, screaming OCH! OCH! yes?
Night sights are not a luxury!
My class size? One.
Keep Safe.
