Point shooting or Sighted shooting? 

Sight or point shooting?
A two minutes breakdown video.This question came up often in the comments recently. So I figured it might be good to share a short insight into my take on PS / SF, as filmed in a shooting class. Of course, this might be oversimplified, but I hope it sparks some learning for the viewer.
The objective is, to use our sights. There is no question about it. However, human reactivity to close sudden and high threat encounters may diminish that capability to a certain amount of time. The key is the understanding that Defensive fixed reaction patterns may alter or render our training absolute within the context of self-preservation. As such, we do need to relook how we train, integrate, and prioritize one target acquisition mechanic over the other.
We need to understand that Marksmanship is subject to context. When the stakes are high and time is short - we do "something". Perhaps not the best, maybe not what we would see as optimal. Instead, it will be fast, cheap, and "good" as it gets. The focus here is on fast. Now, no time.
Alternatively, now we have the time, and the stakes are in our favor, in the sense that we feel safe as we perceive ourselves to be in less of a risk. That’s where we do things in high fidelity. One of the components of optimal response is time. It takes time. To some more, to some less - here we see how the level of training impacts performance.If someone tells you it's too much-overthinking shooting and that its all about groupings and shot timer results and reps - id like to remind you that reality is complex. And failing to understand context will result in the inability to transfer training into real-world application. Consider this: OIS shootings lead to a costly process where lives are lost, careers ruined & billions of taxpayer dollars are spent on investigation and litigation costs.
