I just finished reading Brotherhood of Warriors by Aaron Cohen. He mentions how IDF uses a form of "point shooting" method in CQB applications that still allows for a lot of accuracy. Has anybody had first hand experience with this method and its use/was taught it?
I am curious to hear more about it.
Thanks!
This should be interesting.

They do this stuff at a range in my area.
I am trying to research more about the point shooting method only. Not the entire Israeli system, with which I generally disagree (stance and empty chamber).
I suggest buying a copy of No Second Place Winner by Bill Jordan. Here's an old FBI video showing several of the techniques that Jordan wrote about:
The sprinting/pushups/sprinting stuff before firing shown in the original video has some validity for those who might be in a firefight after a lot of physical exertion.Originally Posted by Alpha Sierra
Thanks Alpha Sierra.
Jeep, I agree with you, regarding the physical exertion, but that's not what I am trying to learn more about.
It's point shooting, I'm not sure what else you are looking for.
I did attend an Israeli shooting method class back in the '90s, dude teaching was a legit retired Mossad guy according to my sources. It was an interesting class but I was not impressed.
The stance was in integral part of the method. Two hand grip, basically an isosceles stance with a pronounced crouch. Look over the gun at the target, start shooting.
I could not watch it and not laugh
The Israelis teach point shooting and condition 3 carry for the same reasons other organizations have in the past - it's a cheap fast way to teach large numbers of people to be at least somewhat effective. If they had the time /$$$/ resources I'm sure they would teach sighted fire.
