point shooting is a good skill to have when you need to shoot from retention .... that means arms reach or less. Hitting CoM on a mansized target is not that hard at that range...... I don't spend a lot of time on it.
Point shooting isnt just shooting from retention, although, that is one way to do it, and should be practiced.
Point shooting isnt necessarily a "short range" proposition though, and with a little practice, you can easily make good hits at 10+ yards, even solid head shots.
I spend more on moving..... because I value being a moving target more than thinking I can stand there and "beat the drop".
I do as well, and most of my shooting doing so, is point shooting. Its much easier (and usually more effective) to shoot "over" the gun while moving, focusing on the target as you go, than it is to try and hold some sort of sight alignment.
If that's all you practice (point shooting) ..... then you are unprepared.
If all you practice is any one thing, then youre unprepared. It works in all directions.
If youre basing your skills on what you do on bulls eye targets, shot at your leisure, on a static range, your REALLY unprepared.
If you really want to see how well point shooting works, and how youre likely to really shoot under stress, when someone else is trying just as hard to shoot you first, try some force of force with air soft or something similar. What sights?
I thought the OP was concerned about a wild animal (or ticked off domestic one) coming at him at speed.
If you have time and distance, by all means, hold'em and squeeze'em. If they are getting close, Id be moving and shooting.
