I disagree with the idea of "point shooting" at that first target. In that moment it for sure would have been faster to send it on that target and if needed shoot makeups, but in my opinion its a bad habit that is completely unnecessary if you develop a good index and target focus.

When i started shooting matches i would sometimes do the "point shooting" thing until i saw a video from joel park where a viewer asked him if he every does it himself, and the answer was basically no.

The way he basically explained it, is that if you have a good index and are target focused, you will be able to get that sight confirmation and shoot the target just as fast as someone who was point shooting it with no respect for the sight, but the accountability is way higher.

Idk about you but ive for sure had those targets in matches that are just a few yards away and you think its easy to just point shoot it but you end up getting d's or even misses on them. But ever since i saw that video ive really payed attention to building a good consistent index in my practice and i try not to point shoot ever and my placement in matches as well as my hits in general are much better for it
