JohnSka: Many, MANY years ago, I used to point shoot with a BB gun (rifle)--I wouldn't call it practicing though--just having fun. I could consistently hit a chain-link fence pole (2" diameter steel pipe about 4' tall) from the hip at about 10-15 yards. I haven't done anything like that for decades.
I got pretty good at being on for windage but elevation was always very sloppy--it was really hard to index the muzzle accurately in the vertical direction when shooting from the hip.

That is what I did at the range yesterday, firing some with my S&W 625-5 45 Colt and my S&W 38 Airweight. We had four targets where I would draw the gun, or grab one and fire when my trainer I use, would call out the target. I managed to do pretty well. I did not aim, but did pull the gun up arm extended, not from the hip. One may not always have time to aim, use both hands. So I try to shoot one handed. I was shooting fairly close range. I do not practice much at long range. Did encounter a malfunction
with the S&W 625-5 revolver. Pulling the trigger slowly in locked up so
am having that fixed.
