Index shooting changed how I think about close-range defense

[Night-king]

I spent years focused entirely on sighted fire. Then I started working on indexing, using the gun's position relative to your body to aim at very close range without looking at the sights at all. It s not a replacement for sighted fire but a supplement. Inside ten feet it changes everything..

Good point. At very close distances the fight may be over before you ever get a clean sight picture.

I agree totally, but that being said you must practice it to build the muscle memory. Remember you are responsible for everything that comes out the business end. A real important factor when you do practice this is to make note of where your bullets impact on the berm.

Index shooting is a game-changer up close, like cheating the clock without cheating your aim.

Bob Munden was a master of point shooting and proved you could do it at ranges that defy belief.

Working on indexing opened my eyes, too. It’s not talked about much but once you practice it, you realize how handy it is at really close range.
