Well, emphasis on
hope for the best should be made in
sgtbaker's writeup. While shooting from the hip is an impressive idea (not unlike
double shooting with two
pistols), the rifles and shotguns
out there have
sights for a reason -- one should aim by looking through the sights!
Speaking of which, "Shooting from the hip" is a phrase used to describe a person (like a politician) talking impressively and quickly, but not always accurate.
