All of his shots went on the target and his time was faster than before. I felt more comfortable shooting with my right hand. Barron observes that students seem to grasp the concept quickly. Based on a limited sample, he says the skill retention seems quite high. At the conclusion of a typical training session, there is very little difference in the shooting skills of the average student and the instructors.
Response time improves.
From low ready, we used to see shots in about 1.5 seconds. After adopting point shooting, the average response time is about 0.8 seconds. Barron and his staff have nearly 100 years of combined experience and have been trained in most of the major firearms schools in the country. That lends credibility to his observation that point shooting takes less time, money and ammunition to develop acceptable combat shooting skills than any other system they know.
