Side view of handgun point shooting position. Point shooting (also known as target-[1] or threat-focused shooting, [2] intuitive shooting, instinctive shooting, subconscious tactical shooting, or hipfiring) is a practical shooting method where the shooter points a ranged weapon (typically a repeating firearm) at a target without relying on the use of sights to aim.
