I am not trying to be negative on this whole thing, but please try an IDPA match at a local range. And you will see that aimed fire is a whole lot more effective than point shooting. You have to prove it for yourself.

I am what I consider a poor shot with handguns and even I can do 8 bad guys in 20 seconds even with hostages involved and ZERO points down (no misses, no hostages shot). 18 shots required on each stage. Someone that is really good can do it in about 12 seconds or less.

Try it both ways in a match, first point shooting and then try it as aimed fire and see what you do best.

Good luck
Jim
