Here's how it works.

When you point at something, your arm, hand, and your finger will be seen in your line of vision.

You can verify that by pointing at a door knob or any close by object.

Now, if you lower your arm just a bit, your finger will appear to be pointing a few inches below the object.

However, it will be pointing directly and accurately at the object. That is how our vision works.

And that can be verified by lowering your head and looking down your arm and hand.

If you had a gun in your hand, the barrel would be in your line of vision, and you could aim it accurately the same way.

The aim point may have to be adjusted some depending on your gun, and the distance to the target.

Once established, it can be used repeatedly to accurately aim your gun.

Your shooting will be "in the black" shooting. And you will not have to focus on the sights.

In a formal QK class in May, 2006, Robin Brown reported that all 14 of his students kept all of their shots with QK in measured groups of 2.5 inches or less at a distance of 15 feet in just two days at the range. A few of the better shooters closely matched his measured 1 inch 17 shot group.

Just look at the target/threat, bring your gun into your line of vision, acquire your aim point, and as needed, shoot.

This can be easily tested using an airsoft pistol or a firearm.

Always use safe gun handling practices.

In a CQ life threat situation, due to the activation of the SNS, there is a very good chance that you will lose both your peripheral vision and your ability to focus on up close objects like the sights.

Now, one can say that even if you lose your peripheral vision or can't focus on objects that are close to you, you still should be able to hit a target because of your past practice.

That sounds reasonable, and may be true for professional gunslingers and SWAT type, but awhile ago I made a test which proved to me that one must aim each shot.

I was making a test to see which shooting method was the fastest, QK, FSP, or P&S. Accuracy wise they all proved to be good.

For the test details on - Which is fastest: P&S, or QK, or FSP - click here.

I also tested just pointing the gun at the same aim point, and blasting away. That result was poor to bad.

P&S proved to be simpler and faster than QK or FSP.

For accurate aiming, it does not rely on the use of peripheral vision, and aim point, being able to focus on near objects, a gun-body index, specific stance, etc..

You just point-n-pull, point-n-pull.
