I never claimed it was instinctive--that was the student's perception, not my statement..
The only instinct is the ability to point one's finger at an object.
That's it.
As to what I teach see my home study course located here:

yes, But I still contend that you don't need to practice it, as it is muscle memory that will naturaly occur with sighted practice as I said earlier in this thread.And yes I have tried it and have no issues hitting COM even out past 7 yards matter of fact I can from a low ready raise the gun and find COM with my eyes closed.

If this is what you believe then we will have to agree to disagree and move on.
I have stated all I can on this matter and now it is up to the lurkers to decide for themselves.
Have a good one.
