Dang. I always have fun when I shoot.
If you're having fun, you're probably not being safe. And if you're aiming, you aren't going to hit what you're shooting at.
Just how many people have you killed on the range, Robert?

Bringing the sights up to eye level repeatedly. In the same pattern of motion.
Why is there a period between "repeatedly" and "In"?
Yep. I completely understand what he's saying about aiming, but being consistent in your presentation is just as important. He keeps saying not moving the gun out of alignment is most important, but isn't addressing how to get aligned in the first place.Bringing the sights up to eye level repeatedly. In the same pattern of motion.
IDK about all that. I'd like to know how many deer he's shot at 300+ yards without aiming. Or anything smaller than a 2 story building at that range without aiming. Are there stories of people just closing their eyes squeezing & hitting, sure. I don't think you're going to consistently be successful with that approach though. But it's a free country so blast away!
Did you happen to watch the vid and read the thread. Its about close life threatening situations. Where there is no real need to take the extra 2 seconds to get that perfect window frame line up. The extra time used to do that could lead to a knife in your neck or a kick to the nuts.
It is a skill you should at least test out in case you are in a hand to hand situation where you cant get the gun in front of your face to aim.
I watched some of it, but the title doesn't say aiming up close with a pistol is useless, it says aiming is useless. For an arms length emergency, I didn't know this was earth shattering info that point & squeeze is a good method, but I'm sure it's new to some. I'd suggest you contact the guy who made the video, he really should have worded it better, cause in fact, aiming is not useless 98% of the time.
You mean like this one I started yesterday? https://www.texasguntalk.com/threads/hello-from-northerner.87236/unreadWelcome to the Forum, 11C1P.
Go to the introduction area & tell us something about yourself.
Jeez, seriously? The title has to spell out in exact detail what the thread is about?
And feel free to contact Rob Leatham, the guy who made the video, yourself and provide him your insightful criticism. I am sure he'll love hearing your feedback on how to shoot. Apparently being a 24-time USPSA National champion and 7-time International Practical Shooting Confederation World Champion doesn't compare to someone who fires mortars in the Army...
