It's become apparent that the majority of what has been (and still commonly is) taught about practical shooting is rooted firmly in bullseye shooting methodology.
- gun aligned with the forearm
- so-called "surprise break" technique
- staging the trigger
- crystal clear, razor sharp focus on the front sight
- pinned trigger/deliberate trigger reset after recoil
- lack of grip emphasis/recoil control methodology
- breath control
There is nothing wrong with the discipline of bullseye shooting, but it is woefully deficient as the basis for practical shooting. It's important to understand where they diverge and where they converge. Bullseye shooting can inform aspects of practical shooting, but should not be the basis.
I would say the following — while that might be a good bullseye list, it doesn’t cut it at all for action shooting. You want to hold the pistol firmly, utilizing optimal skeletal alignment so as to reduce leverage (meaning muzzle raise), make the gun, especially polymer ones, function reliably, have the gun return predictably shot to shot, and allow the most aggressive trigger pull with the least displacement of the sights.
