At first I was trying to figure out what the heck you were talking about then the lightbulb went on above my head and I was like oh duh lmao. Maybe Jerry should have been invited to show them how it's done lol
Point shooting is the only way to fire in close proximity to the the target, Day or Night. No need for lasers, night sites and so on. Additionally, one can start firing immediately once he pistol is out of it's carrying configuration and before attaining the arms extended stance as depcited here. Master!
I read a lot about point shooting when I was a kid- back when gun magazines actually had articles worth reading and taught you something. Fairbairn, Sykes, and Applegate all wrote articles and books about their experiences in Asia (Hong Kong, if I remember) and how it was absolutely necessary to learn how to draw and point shoot as police and military. I practiced a lot with a Crossman semi auto BB pistol, and got used to shooting like that. After a while, in the 90's, this was highly frowned on and even not allowed at the ranges I went to. I was an outcast, ostracized from the "normal" shooting community. I had to learn aimed fire (and still stick with the Weaver stance) all over again to feel normal. Eventually, I got back into point shooting (another BB gun- a Walther PPK/S look-alike) in my apartment's basement where I would not bother anyone, and had 7 yards to play with. I utilized a BB and pellet trap, that I still have today, mounted to the wall at chest height. It took a little bit of faith to point shoot after many years of not doing it, and was pleasantly surprised to see the shots hit the center of target at three, then five, and ultimately seven yards. Now I don't feel so bad about point shooting anymore, maybe it's time to come out of the basement and back into the open range... Thanks, Jerry!
I wouldn't recommend doing it defensively unless you had a good backstop behind the perp. 🤣 I agree it has its use cases and people should practice it.
Point shooting is likely to be necessary in a defensive event. When I can I practice shooting from retention position with wrist pinned to my side just above the hip. You cannot go to your gun until aggressor has clarified their intent and capability, at which point you are likely to be in physical contact. If you present gun to classic target shooting position, you are just handing it to them. Even if you create a bit of space, shooting from this position is very accurate at three yards - even for a mediocre shooter like me. Cuts draw to shoot time significantly as well. If you have space but not time, can start shooting at this point in your draw stroke, you can get multiple shots off before gun reaches sighting position. As John on ASP says - in a gun fight the first to put shots on target usually wins. Even if you muck up and put first shot into their leg, it will slow their attack, possibly providing time for your next shots.
When I was trained in instinct shooting back in the 70s I was instructed to start close to the target and to memorize how my arm and elbow felt on my side in relationship to the hit on the target. Then watch how slight movements in the arm altered the point of impact. When I could hit the ten ring regularly I moved further back and repeated the process until I was able to get solid hits as far away as ten to fifteen yards.
Actually the snowflakes are the people who worries about the dislikes lol You do realize that the likes and dislikes all work in favor of Jerry and his channel?
I don’t know if it’s possible, go through the Jerry’s school of shooting. It appears Jerry can get along with anyone. Experienced, professional, and seems to be wonderful down to earth gentleman.
As other viewer mentioned, that was Mr. Jerry. If you just starting to learn these 2nd and 3rd Skills, you’ll always hit low. So start slow, as in all drills. I have “ not ” put the amounts of round down range as Mr. Jerry, but did start my formal training in 1977 on Paris Island, and have been practicing ever since. Yes even olé Marines need to practice and train often. And that’s what Mr. Jerry is referring to “Get Some”, and he does remind us safety start with ourselves ( and chamber Flags ). God Speed, Stay Safe, and keep em in the 10 ring,,,,,,, Semper Fi,,,
I think instinctive shooting is an important skill to practice. It'll only help improve all aspects it shooting. Sometimes you may have to shoot while acquiring your sights, or wont have time to even properly aim.
So many people put all the cards down on being able to aim. When in a fight you may need to keep both eyes on target, you may not be able to aim. Point shooting and instinctive shooting should be in everyone’s bag of skills.
This is Alien 👽 from Uranus such an Awesome video and very informative video as well I want to thank you so much for taking time out of your day to make these videos for us to learn from and thank you to all your crew to bring these videos together I am a Huge Fan I am Alien 👽 👽🚀321
The speed at which you shoot accurately always boggles my mind. Also makes me feel better that even at 31 I still have a decent amount of time to keep getting better! If I'm 80% as good as Jerry Miculek I'll be happy haha
Be interesting to see Jerry move back 3 yards after the different methods of shooting. Until the results are so bad that you must use your sights to make hits. Wonder what the distance would be ?
My dad always swore by point shooting. I've grown to train a hybrid. Assuming self defense distance, I shoot 1 or 2 as I present, then bear down on the sights
Agree with many of the other comments, you made it look easy! While I may never be that good, I can improve! That's what I took away from this, I was able to improve a great deal after watching Jerry teach the Gould Brothers about speed sitting. Thanks Jerry! Keep it up!
Point/instinctual shooting is how my father taught me to shoot for self defense for many years and I was given constant grief from the firearm community at ranges, in gun stores, even later in life on websites for using it. I never understood why people hated it and claimed it was garbage. Even after I kept telling people that I only planned to use my handgun in self defense and don't plan in being 50+ feet away in some Hollywood movie-style shootout endangering lives, especially if it is at a distance I can just leave to safety. The comments in response to that are always posturing about how they would never run away or saying that they would engage in some long-range shootout anyway.
I trained in point shooting too. But the answer they gave you was very clear, they will go in to the fight meaning they have time to aim and they prefered the fight in long range. My solution was I trained them all but I would prefer the rifle in long range. Suittable tools and suitable tactics always make things easier.💚
I usually think of point shooting like when I played a lot of paintball, didn't have sights so we look down the side of the barrel, did that for a few close range, high speed stages when I shot idpa years ago too
Yeah paintball is basically without aiming in general and you use the paintballs almost like tracer rounds. I don't think I ever tried to aim with them, always just lift the gun up to face level and let the rounds fly.
I remember reading about people who had the experience shooting, like Bill Jordan, who were able to perform fast draws and using point shooting to hit targets as small as necco wafers and even aspirin tablets!
Wouldn't it be great if Jerry was cast in a supporting role for a western film someday? He'd make a great cattle rustler/gunhand, would be lots of fun.
Instinctive shooting = noise of breaking glass wakes you, move to your planned defensive concealment or cover spot. Point shooting = same thing except daytime, Slow aimed fire = stupid range rules
There were SOG guys that trained this way in Vietnam, "quick kill" they called it. From what i remember hearing, they'd start with a bb gun from the hip shooting at little disc's that somehow were tossed up in the air. Then they'd move up to a real firearm like a car-15 or m16 or whatever. Then the disc's would get smaller and smaller as they improved. If i remember correctly it was man called "Dynamite" that said he was able to hit a silver dollar sized target at 20 meters at one point. It definitely helps when you have literally all the ammo you could ask for at your disposal. But in the jungle that split second could mean everything. The one whos quicker on the trigger is usually the one who walks away.
Having grown up with the likes of Bill Jordan, Charlie Askins, and Jeff Cooper I shoot many styles. From hip shooting from the belt to two handed sighted fire. They all work but some, like hip shooting, takes buckets of ammo to get the index right. I am glad Jerry here used the cardboard block to demo true unsighted fire. Even when we use 'point shooting' we use our peripheral vision to 'see' the index relationship between the firearm and the target (roughly.) I find if you use dummy guns to practice technique in the house and garage (drawing and manipulation of the gun) and then live fire using .22 versions of the firearm and then transitioning to larger calibers works best (and cuts cost!) Do your gun drills in the house first with dummy guns till you are very confident of your skills then to the range and SLOW DOWN. Right come first, fast comes later (to paraphrase Hanny Caulder.)
Think these are important skills to practice!! May not have time to get a good sight picture, often close and dirty is how things go down!!! Be safe and God bless 🇺🇸☠️🇺🇸!!!
I grew up with b.b. guns, slingshots, guns, rocks, football...... instinctive shooting is learned early on... I still got it when I go out in my fifties.
I did point/instinct training from 4 meters/12 feet with a retired dia officer. He was pretty good, he taught to lock eyes with the target tucking your elbow into your firing hip. If you felt the bone on bone from elbow to hip your alignment was good. Got pretty good results from it. Once you got good you can adjust from there to your liking. In the army we would do finger point shooting at 25 meter targets with the m4. Also effective.
Hi. I'm Jerry. I'm going to show you some instinctive shooting. I'm going to close my eyes load this empty mag into the smith and wesson I left in the house. Ding ding. GET SOME.
Didn't Tina Turner insure her legs back in the day? Jerry needs to with his trigger finger for sure. If you were listening and not watching you would think someone is using a full auto. Much respect to THE LEGEND
Your point shooting is different from my point shooting. The sights are not used. It's the rear of the handgun that is looked at. Both eyes are open. First you must determine your dominant eye. Raise the gun to eye level. The dominate eye sees the rear of the gun, not the sights. It's as though you are looking through the barrel of the gun. The non-dominant eye sees the intended target. I am right eye dominant so the right eye sees the hammer, the left eye sees the target. The two images overlap in your mind. Squeeze the trigger for a hit where you are looking at. Took a shooting class that used computer and lasers to show the bullet strike. One scenario demonstrated the 21 foot rule. Five students were in the class. Three shot at 21 feet, one at 18 feet and I shot at 12 feet to show the critical and short reaction time. At 12 feet there is absolutely no time for sight alignment. I had to use my method of point shooting. Since I was watching the face, mostly the eyes. One shot was indicated just barely to the right of target's right ear. The next shot was indicated in the middle of the forehead. Total time of incident was less than two blinks of an eye.
Hey, I have your guns big brother. I have the 40L. Nice gun but for some reason I don't shoot mine as well as you shoot yours lol And I think Jerry should be registered as a dangerous weapon lol
Most of the people I've tried to teach that stuff to have managed to pick it up. However, they always want to know more about how I do my shooting; "What's my secret?".
I got great at point shooting my lever BB gun as a kid, because I could see the BB's path. I'll bet dryfire practice with a laser would be great to calibrate your eye to arm muscle memory.
Many believe you need a red dot today and while it's a powerful tool, you may not have the opportunity to use it in a real life situation. I practice 75% point shooting and 25% sight shooting. Time to add instinctive shooting.
So many defense instructors teach to see the front sight. At night there is no sights. Point shooting is super valuable. I just did a mandatory shooting class and totally ignored my sights. Guess who had the most shots on target. Btw... It takes lots of practice outdoors with a huge backstop before you get the "feel".
Instinctive shooting is key if you do not know where your finger is pointed (👆pew👉pew👇pew👈pew) you should not pick up a gun. This coming from a guy who shoots the heads off of hornets in mid fight with a 22 single action revolver for fun. Learn them right Jerry.
Jerry some us call aimed fire more of a cluster of bullet fired slow enough for better control than a 5" group at what ?? 7 yards . You also over looked Flash Sight Picture shooting that been around for some 30 years + that may be more of what You tend to call aimed fire !! A fast trigger fingers cool and this old man could not wiggle a finger like you can when I was 25 but teaching takes more than a fast finger and 2:28 on the clock .
most people with adrenaline running that have to fire their gun will instinctively point shoot, if the fire fight is longer than 5 seconds, they will focus on their sights if they have time… thats why its best to practice point shooting.
I think point and instinctive should be the most important type we practice. I'm glad Jerry showed this. It is under taught and under practiced. if you're in an altercation at that distance it's the only thing that makes sense. You don't have time to futz with red dots laser or even iron sights. Jerry's so fast his aim is faster than everyone else's instinctive but ours isn't like that. We need to get it out and get it firing and get rounds somewhere in that attacker. As you see even Jerry the best shooter in the world can't guarantee where with that style.
Well Point shooting with multiple targets is faster it seems. Less distance of travel with the fire arm from target to target. Basically not moving the arms jst pivoting hips...
Question for anyone who knows, can you use just regular full metal jacket bullets for steel targets? I have found mixed answers on the internet some say yes and some say no
This instinctive shooting needs at least Jerry's time practical experience in shooting, or consistent, consecutive & extensive training, then one can attain the target without seeing.
I saw a Master Class shooter use the instinctive shooting style in a match. I had to drop prone to see the targets, he kneeled down and looked around. I was in awe ! Still am. As a D class shooter that was a lesson in shooting for sure.
YOU ARE AWESOME DID YOU EVER GO TO DAMON ,? JOHNNY PRIHODA AND I USED TO HUNT ,DOVE ,QUAIL ,DUCKS AND DEER THERE . GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES GET SOME MORE
I have been wanting to get a gun with laser grips due to my aging eyes but now I am kind of thinking that some point/instinctive shooting practice might be even better.
Looked really easy until i remembered it was Jerry doing the shooting.
Everything about shooting looks easy when it's Jerry doing the shooting.
It all looked quite reasonable until that instinctive shooting transition drill :O
Exactly!!
It is easy.
Doing it well is where difficulty comes in.
This is a vastly underrated comment lol.
What a legend, incredible accuracy without even being able to see the firearm, only jerry
hes like 5 feet away, the speed is amazing though
Definitely only Jerry. I do not recommend using an assistant to perform instinctive fire.
Jerry shooting instinctively puts six rounds on the three targets better and faster than I could aiming.
Jerry also washes his brass in a concrete mixer 5 gallons at a time. This man is on another level in terms of both practice and talent.
Mans got Oldhead skills
I think that’s the point. Aim shooting can slow you down some.
Everyone on demo ranch's 10 million special could of used this video sooner lol.

Every millisecond counts; In every gunfight there are the quick...and the dead. Don't get dead.
"Dying ain't much of a living boy"
The quick and the dead was a good movie
Quick....and accurate.

Instinctive shooting:

Not here to sell SIRT pistols, but I've found they are excellent for working on point shooting. Save yourself some ammo in working on this stuff!
Jerry being Jerry, I think his aimed fire rounds hit the target faster than the point shoot or instinctive fire rounds did.

Whenever I’m cocky about a good day at the range i put on Jerry and get put into my place.
Jerry has that robocop instinctive targeting system.

So many defense instructors teach to see the front sight. At night there is no sights. Point shooting is super valuable. I just did a mandatory shooting class and totally ignored my sights. Guess who had the most shots on target. Btw... It takes lots of practice outdoors with a huge backstop before you get the "feel".

Instinctive shooting is key if you do not know where your finger is pointed (👆pew👉pew👇pew👈pew) you should not pick up a gun. This coming from a guy who shoots the heads off of hornets in mid fight with a 22 single action revolver for fun. Learn them right Jerry.
Jerry some us call aimed fire more of a cluster of bullet fired slow enough for better control than a 5" group at what ?? 7 yards . You also over looked Flash Sight Picture shooting that been around for some 30 years + that may be more of what You tend to call aimed fire !! A fast trigger fingers cool and this old man could not wiggle a finger like you can when I was 25 but teaching takes more than a fast finger and 2:28 on the clock .
most people with adrenaline running that have to fire their gun will instinctively point shoot, if the fire fight is longer than 5 seconds, they will focus on their sights if they have time… thats why its best to practice point shooting.
I think point and instinctive should be the most important type we practice. I'm glad Jerry showed this. It is under taught and under practiced. if you're in an altercation at that distance it's the only thing that makes sense. You don't have time to futz with red dots laser or even iron sights. Jerry's so fast his aim is faster than everyone else's instinctive but ours isn't like that. We need to get it out and get it firing and get rounds somewhere in that attacker. As you see even Jerry the best shooter in the world can't guarantee where with that style.
Well Point shooting with multiple targets is faster it seems. Less distance of travel with the fire arm from target to target. Basically not moving the arms jst pivoting hips...
Question for anyone who knows, can you use just regular full metal jacket bullets for steel targets? I have found mixed answers on the internet some say yes and some say no
Great things to practice.....every trigger pull makes us that much better.
This instinctive shooting needs at least Jerry's time practical experience in shooting, or consistent, consecutive & extensive training, then one can attain the target without seeing.
I thought I was point shooting when I pick up my pace to beast mode on steel. Turns out I have been instinctive shooting.
I saw a Master Class shooter use the instinctive shooting style in a match. I had to drop prone to see the targets, he kneeled down and looked around. I was in awe ! Still am. As a D class shooter that was a lesson in shooting for sure.
This man is just absolutely amazing
Jerry is a beast, he’s so good with any gun it’s incredible!!!
Look at all that ammo behind jerry....sitting on a fortune these days.

Just gave taran tacticals secret away. I always knew u could do that to jerry.
Very interesting demonstration. Thank you. What about the speed and accuracy from a low ready?
How about Instructions on How to? Instead of just showing you doing it. Thanks
Shooting with Jerry would be a very humbling experience lol
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
I wonder if I shot twice as many rounds as Jerry has if I would be half as good?
I've seen old video of this gentleman in the central valley commifornia and he hasn't done anything but get faster.
Point shooting just looks like an old version of shooting from retention. Meant for up close and personal
I have been wanting to get a gun with laser grips due to my aging eyes but now I am kind of thinking that some point/instinctive shooting practice might be even better.
Obviously a trick done with smoke and mirrors. 😏 Git sum!
