When you throw a baseball, do you aim down your arm?
When you drive your car, do you have to mount a sight on the hood?
(1958 Buicks not included).
It seems the people who criticize instinct or point shooting are the ones who don't know how.
It's just a skill, acquirable by anyone who's willing to put in the effort.
Sure, sighted shooting is bound to be better.
But the sights can't always be seen.
The guy who can carry on without being able to see them is gotta' be better off.
