You will not find much support for most kinds of unsighted shooting, in this forum.
Most “hip shooting” falls apart, when one’s target is anything other than a life-sized target, standing nicely squared, directly to one’s front. It works best on good light, when one can see the holes appearing in the paper. If one has plenty of ammo to burn, it can be a fun way to punch holes in paper.
I did some amount of hip shooting, for 33 years, because my mandated annual qual started with either twelve or ten shots, at two yards, with a mandate that my forearm be in contact with my belt or duty holster. This had little to no street relevance, of course, because human opponents do not act like stationary paper targets.
