AIMED Point Shooting or P&S Chronology
..........
I'm still standing by to be inundated with pics and videos of SS actually being used in CQB.
I have a knife and fork in hand, and ready to chow down. I have a bib on that reads: Guess whose eating crow? 
If you come up with some, I would be happy to add them or links to them on my site if that's OK. My aim is to put out info on self defense that has to do with helping Police, CCW folks, and home defenders survive CQ life threats. |
OK 5 Shot,
Very interesting chronology, and I plan to continue reading it in it's entirety. I'll admit, point shooting isn't for me, as I have no faith in my ability to use it. However, I do not have any distain for those who choose to utilize this technique. What
will raise my dander (as I specifically said in my last post) is trying to prove a point with misleading info, or the omition of evidence that may contradict the point being made.
In the chronology, I find it interesting that Jack Ruby was used as an example of a successful point shooting tecnique.
Here's a pic of the event.
While technically it would be considered point shooting. With a gun pushed into a persons belly, the shooter will achieve the intended point of impact every time. No matter what technique is used, if any. A close your eyes, gun behind the back, count to three, alley ooop shot will succeed if the muzzle is in the targets belly.
Also, in this case the target was held by LE and mechanical restraints. This is not an example of point shooting used in self defense. This is a example of an assasination. Another example of using misleading info to make make a point.
Please continue to share your views, and use
appropriate examples to demonstrate those views. But remember, CalCCW members come to this website to gleen reliable and accurate information. Please don't let them down.
Thank you
