This page is a growing repository for links to Point Shooting, Instinct Shooting, and Snap Shooting articles on the web. I learned to point shoot as a kid and refined these skills over the years. Today I actively train my students in this type of shooting with handgun, rifle and shotgun. In just a few hours of practice we regularly have people hitting hand-thrown soda cans out of the air and hitting ground targets without ever once using the sights.
Outdoor practice is done with BB guns and then regular firearms. Indoor practice is done with Airsoft, as are others drills where the target is shooting back at us. We pass on shooting skills in the curriculum as they relate to defense, in the same way that one has to learn to fight with a knife to defend against a knife. You have to know how to draw to see the ways to counter the draw, and know how to shoot so you can better avoid being shot.
There is a lot more to the study of close range counter firearms work than just knowing a few Kuhroddy gun disarms. Especially for the martial arts teachers out there, we feel this is important. My friend told me about a seminar where the person teaching gun defenses later admitted they didn't even know how load or shoot a pistol! The Sensei didn't like guns you see...

These first two articles are both reprints that are webbed by well-known author Kurt Saxon's site. He has put together some fine books on survival, weaponry, and 19th century living skills, including a ton of "at home chemistry" and shop work.
