With their eyes closed

I have no doubt.
The MD qual is so easy I’ve assumed I could shoot it with my eyes closed. Maybe next time I’ll try it. They let you reshoot it once if you fail, so nothing to lose trying.

One of my friends actually taught the CC class and passed the shooting qual to a guy that was legally blind!!! The guy PASSED!!! He issued the certificate of completion and when the dude applied for a license the county Sheriff tried to yank my buddies teaching credentials.
My told the sheriff that there is ZERO requirements, law or even cases that require ANY eyesight to get a CC License and told the sheriff that if he took away his teaching credentials he would have his student sue the crap out of the county and state for discrimination against a handicapped person. It ALL quietly went away…

That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day and I needed that laugh! (But totally believable as well.)
The sad thing is that some of the targets for the classes I have taken for my permit have looked like someone thew a handful of gravel at the target.

Never shot with my eyes closed. I’ll try this with my dry fires first. Then maybe at the rage. This might have some merit to it.

I was hoping you would put in your 2 cents worth on this topic. You were the first one I even heard about shooting with your eyes closed. When I heard Jerry talking about it I felt as though there has to be merit to it, not discounting you personally but it just added to the fact.
Thank you for your assist here!

Because SIRT doesn’t have any moving parts, so no muzzle rise and dip, no recoil… You just stand and move your finger… good test for your stability without reference point…
You can test gun recovery and grip only with live fire.

Thanks for bringing this topic to this Community.
My learning philosophy is very simple ( for me)… Challenge yourself to the moment your skills start failing apart. If something is easy I make it harder to execute. I know how to shoot with eyes opened so I train with eyes closed. My carry handgun has 4 lb trigger so I train with handgun with 6 lb trigger, I hit small Target standing on two feet, so I shoot the same Target from any other position I can imagine (never tried to do this standing on my head…yet 
)
Once I feel okay in extreme conditions I know I will be more than okay in normal conditions.:

If you turn the casing over and straddle the front sight it’s easier.
Just sayin’
I use a dime. Miserable to try it on a Glock front sight post though. Too small.

This is actually how I was able to improve my aim. I would line up my sights and get a feel for where my the angle of my wrists and arms were. Then I’d close my eyes and go through this movement, opening them to see if I was still in alignment. I do this frequently as a part of my training and I’m rarely off target when I aim from any angle. I’m also working on shooting from the hip with the same drill which is helpful for close proximity encounters.

This place is full of great ideas! Why didn’t I think of that!

You didn’t think about it, because… you didn’t think about it …
Usually such ideas come after observation of our surroundings, other people, animals.
It always amazed me how blind people can still “see”… even they actually cannot see. If you try to do your everyday tasks with closed eyes you quickly find out it’s not very problematic, because your other senses take over your vision. Our eyes are the best communication between brain and environment, so once you start seeing again everything becomes much easier to execute - you feel more, it’s still engraved in your brain what you learned but additionally you can see that feeling (and confirm it).
