Yet your brain is seeing the gun. So a form of point shooting, semantics maybe, but not what some are saying. No one hip shoots with any significant accuracy much beyond contact, 3-5y. Then put everything in motion, the gun will come up Into your vision & you are shooting off the slide or bbl, laying it on the target & press. Still a relatively close range endeavor at high speed if you want good hits, imo. Most fast accurate shooting out to 15y is getting some index of the gun using at least the front sight. Again, if one really thinks they are naturally point shootng, do it blind folded, see how much you really are using the gun as a ref.
