I just finished reading about Rodd Redwing a full Chicasaw indian who was a trick shooter and Hollywood shooting coach in the 50's. He holds many records for quick shooting such as throwing a knife at a target and immediately drawing and firing his revolver with the bullet striking exactly where the knife tip hits a fraction later. He was an expert with all weapons and would be off camera shooting when the Star would pretend to hit some target. Everyone he taught said they shot much better after his teaching.
What I thought was interesting was he filed the sights off all his rifles and handguns , he could hit bullseyes with rifles at tremendous distances w/o using sights. I guess he was lining up the barrel like you would an arrow with a bow. In the article they never really told the method he used but he was quoted as saying it was like shooting a bow.
Does anyone here shoot w/o using sights?
