I also shoot IDPA and agree with this....which technique depends on the distance. Practice all three, especially since IDPA has put more emphasis on accuracy. Speed is nice, but if you can't get accurate shots it doesn't do you a lot of good in real life.In IDPA, which I compete in, sight technique is dependent on distance. Nevertheless there are a lot of opinions out there among IDPA shooters. This explains it best for me:
"Probably, the optimum answer is to use all three of these shooting techniques: PS for real close distances of 3 yards or less, FSP shooting for over 3 to about 10 yards, and Sighted Shooting for beyond about 10 yards. Effective PS, just like Sighted Shooting, is dependent on the time available, the distance to the target or threat, and how much accuracy is actually needed to resolve any given situation. With any technique, practice for accuracy is what really matters."
Where PS = Point shooting, FSP = Flash Sight Picture. Flash Sight Picture Technique for Close-Up Defensive Shooting - USA Carry
