Y'alls opinion on 'aim-point' shooting?

Just don't say his name. Thanks to Google Alerts, everybody can be Beetlejuice now.

Caleb, I know what you mean. I used to be into traditional longbows (late teens, early 20's) and became good enough to not have to consciously aim. I could look at where I wanted the arrow, and that's where it went. It makes sense that firearms would be the same way.

Doc, so..... Aim point shooting is good? I'd have preferred a consensus, but the responses were overwhelmingly negative so I stick with tried and true. As I am no Olympic marksman it makes sense to become exceptionally proficient in the traditional way before trying that. But your response was important because I KNOW that at some future point I will try to learn this technique.

DocGKR was making a funny: Aimpoint.

You guys are all full of it. I love Aimpoint shooting. I started using Aimpoints many years ago, slowly progressing from the Comp M2, to Comp M3, and now H1/T1's. I use Aimpoints on my handguns, shotguns, and rifles--Aimpoint shooting rocks!

This, though I'm just starting my Aimpoint journey. Also, I shoot people with my middle finger all the time. Just ask my boss.

As mentioned, DocGKR was jokingly referring to using Aimpoint optics (presumably on longarms).

When you say, "because I KNOW that at some future point I will try to learn this technique." Are you referring to middle finger triggerpulling or to using an AImpoint on a longarm?
