ABSTRACT
The first handheld, projectile-discharging weapons had no sights at all and some, a la the blunderbuss with its belled muzzle, had no sight plane to install sights on. Many shotgun shooters have always hunted and fired upon moving clay targets or live birds, sans sights. However, not all trap and skeet shooters utilize instinct (sightless shooting) methods-some practice the lead and follow-through form. The lead and follow-through is fine when the target direction and speed are known or can be determined upon first visual contact. Of course, in human combat, it is not possible to predict where the target is going next. Furthermore, the lead and follow-through technique does not take into account stationary targets and thus does not lend itself to handgun shooting. Enter Instinct Combat Shooting, that is, instinct shooting with a handgun under human combat conditions where life and death is decided not only by split seconds but in attention spans.
