Shooting without Sights

[Potashminer]

never did a lot of center fire rifle, but years ago I was fairly good hip shooting clays with 1911 45acp and colt 38special
Also chopped up old 2x4's into squares, they would stand up easy, and good for a few round before they blew apart.

"chopped up old 2x4's" - absolutely the best for 6 and 7 year olds when they start - "stuff happens" when hit; nothing happens with a miss - they definitely catch on to that!!! I never was much into handguns, but nice to hear that the idea works there as well - my kids started on 2x2 "gophers" with .22 rimfire rifles - and now the grandkids are into that as well - all the mess ends up in the fire pit for weiner roast!!

I never saw it taught that late. My wife kills me with credit cards, lol.

As a private, it didn’t make sense back then... years later not only does it not make sense, I can’t believe it was still thought by some "older folks" not to call them dinosaurs that just held on to this instead of stepping into 21st century

For a good laugh and to help some guys that think aren’t as good in CQB as others. You think you suck ?!?look at what we did back then !!

It's hard for some people to forget what was drilled into them despite newer and better being developed.

I still chicken wing when shooting standing as it was what was taught for so long, not that it matters for me since I'm retired.
