Start at the 5 yd line. Shoot from the hip watch the bullet strike the target and walk the bulletts into the X ring.

If you have a 38spl us a light, 148grain wad 2.7 grains of Bullseye, target load. Focus on the X ring. do not concusly shift the pistol. Your subconcus will move the bullet strike.

Once you become proficient with this tech. Move back to the ten yard line and start using your normal grip and stance. Just focus on the target. I like to use a timed fire rythmn.

Eventually you will get back to 20 or 25 yards. This will depend on you. My limit for point shooting is 20 yards. When I first started point shooting, I did not realize I was using the tech until after I had completed my best qualification ever.
