I read the story of one Union Civil War regimental commander who always ended his pre-battle speech with the words "AIM LOW!" Bill Jordan advocated the belly shot, I wonder if we shouldn't emphasize that more. I have read that in SD/stress/combat situations people tend to shoot high, learn to shoot low, you may not hit your aiming point but you will hit your enemy.
