Point shooting is an effective tactic, but only if you are already very good at weapon handling and the mechanics of shooting properly. It should also be a last resort. You should always be working to find that front sight. Regardless of the situation, and even if the first couple rounds are point shooting, you should be trying to get the front sight.
There was a technique to practice point shooting and get your body to work for you instinctively. The theory was that when you point your index finger at an object, most of the time you are usually right on with pointing at what you wanted. So the practice was to run your index finger along the frame of the gun and pull the trigger with your middle finger. By doing this, you were training your body to be more accurate when point shooting.
Now, I dont advocate this as a shooting technique under stress situations, and I've only tried it a couple times to see if it worked. It seemed to work ok and wasnt as awkward as I thought it would be. I dont know who came up with this, but I still think that mastering the basics is a better option and I believe that by mastering the basics, you will revert back to them under stress.
