It might work for the Israeli's as a training point,,,
It might work for the Israeli's as a training point,,,
But as a person who practices point shooting quite a lot,,,
I don't think it's necessary.
Here's why.
Quite often a technique known as Procedural Modification,,,
Where you change a thing in a
commonly performed act,,,
With the specific intent of making it feel foreign enough to create a different learning experience.
In short we all grew up (if you are my age) hip-shooting our cap guns.
We al believe we are doing it correctly,,,
So we don't accept any suggested change in the procedure.
Make it different enough and people will open their minds to training in a new method.
As an occupational education professional,,,
I think I recognize that the Israeli's use this a lot,,,
The Israeli military always gets high marks in their training efforts.
They are very scientific and pragmatic.
But enough of that academic froofery,,,
Let's talk actual practice.
I practice point shooting quite a bit,,,
The guns I practice with are a mixed lot,,,
Their commonality is that I only practice this with carry guns.
Taurus 22 Ply, Ruger LCP, S&W 36 snubbie, and Ruger LC9.
I have come to a conclusion,,,
Actually three of them,,,
That's not too many.
Your wrist should always lock in the same position,,,
It can be any position (angle) as long as it is consistent.
Shorter barrels lend themselves to learning point shooting,,,
As long as you have the locked wrist thing down pat.
It takes a lot of practice to become proficient at,,,
Or you could be a natural prodigy,,,
I had to practice,,,
A lot.
Practicing is not a problem though,,,
Because it's just one heck of a lot of fun,,,
You get to let your inner James Bond run free.
This has been my experience mastering (trying to master) point shooting.
Of course It all depends on getting a gun out in time to shoot,,,
If I am able to do that I will have some measure of confidence that I'll hit were I need to.
Oh, did I mention that the practice is fun as all get-out.
