I think a lot of people, maybe instructors included, are confused by point shooting. I think they believe it is a careless, aimless, spray and pray tactic. It is not. Point shooting involves a degree of body alignment as well as sometimes employing the front sight. In extreme CQC, body alignment is more than enough to stay on target.
I practice both point shooting and shooting for accuracy. Both are tools used for different purposes. There are instances where point shooting is the best defense and vice vera.
I started point shooting when I was 7 years old and that was a long time ago. To me point shooting is vital to self defense. But it is a little more difficult for some people to master. It requires a different mind set and a new set of skills.
People need to have open minds, including instructors.
(In LE there are some people often more concerned with legal ramifications than self defense. They may think of point shooting as not aiming and taking wild shots, and be concerned with lawsuits. That is an unfounded concept and dangerous.)
