It's not like we are going to be walking around town, open. Carry, with slicked up fast draw holsters, are we? No, so all the advantages are gone and we are left spending valuable training time and $$ on technique that works against our natural way of aim. We dont throw rocks, spears ,punches, or even flick buggers from hip level. Its unnatural and created by Hollywoods depiction of old west gunslingers.
You want worthwhile aim shooting? Practice picking a point of aim, close your eyes and then bring your gun on target. Keep practicing until when you open your eyes, the gun is right on target. Then you will have speed and accuracy.

Close encounters with an animal jumping out of the bush.... it happens!
A laser on a gun is another “modern” version of what you stated.... a family favorite..... pin the muzzle on the donkey.
