I recommend you use your range training time devoted to aimed fire using your sights.

You may attain some reasonable accuracy by indexing from your weapon, but you'll be more accurate by looking at your sights superimposed over the intended target.

Instead of shooting fast and practicing accuracy the better approach is to shoot accurately and practice speed.

I know there are proponents of point shooting, but I think it's a path that responsible firearms enthusiasts need to avoid.
