What is point shooting?

A technique used for aiming with scoped weapons.
A shooting style that requires perfect alignment of sights.
A technique used when sights cannot be utilized.
A defensive shooting method taught in basic training.

The correct answer is: A technique used when sights cannot be utilized.

Point shooting is a technique utilized in situations where the shooter cannot utilize their sights effectively, such as during close-quarters combat or under stress. This method relies on the shooter's instinctive ability to direct the firearm without the need for precise sight alignment. The focus is on the target rather than aligning sights, allowing for a faster response time in dynamic situations. The other options reflect different shooting techniques that emphasize sight alignment or the use of specific equipment. However, point shooting specifically addresses scenarios where traditional aiming methods may not be practical or possible. This makes choice C the most accurate definition of point shooting.
