Some ill-advised and inexperienced people have claimed that practical competition shooters aren’t able to point shoot.
Here is a video of IPSC ace Taran Butler point shooting
Not only is he hitting targets further away than most point shooting advocates, Mr. Butler is shooting at a faster pace.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Practical competition shooters use the techniques that have been proven to yield the fastest way to get consistent hits. These methods will be discarded and another approach will be rapidly adopted provided the new method and its practitioners can first demonstrate superior results.

Woo Hoo and congrats to the shooter.
Based on his taking 6 steps to reach the plates, it looks like he was 20 feet away when shooting. It would have been nice to have a video taken off to the right, so you could see just how he was holding the gun when shooting.
Good shooting!!!.
I support point shooting, and in particular, the point shooting method where the index finger is placed and kept along the side of the gun to aim the gun, with the middle finger used to pull the trigger.
IT CAN BE LEARNED WITH LITTLE OR NO TRAINING AND LITTLE OR NO PRACTICE by most anyone for effective shooting at close quarters. A test with an airsoft pistol can prove that to be the case.
It also works with a “combat” crush grip that can torque a gun down and around to the left if the index finger is used on the trigger.
It is effective for shooting when standing still or moving, and it can be used to shoot aerials which requires practice, but not that much. Here’s a video of me tossing and hitting a string of 7 aerials in row (aerials = pop cans tossed in the air). Don’t shoot aerials with a firearm.[ A mirror was used to put me shooting at the aerials and the aerials in the air.]
