My question is slightly off topic, but speaking of shooting positions, does anyone out there of the late 1960’s Army basic training era remember “quick fire”, where we were taught to shoot from the hip? Basically a point and shoot method to get that first shot off quickly and accurately. We used BB guns shooting at quarter sized discs the Sgt threw like clay pigeons.

To this day I can use this method, left or right handed, with a pistol and hit a man sized target at 100 feet with ease. It’s really similar to what we see the cowboys do on TV.
