In the video above, Wes—who also founded the training, research and consulting firm Khyber Interactive Associates and serves as lead trainer for the Lights Sights Lasers US Tour—breaks down why standard sight acquisition isn’t entirely necessary for achieving decent to substantial center mass hits on target in extreme CQB encounters.

“It’s all about doing things the same way,” Wes explains in the clip. “My grip is always the same, my upper body is always doing the same thing, and my eyes are where I want to see destruction happen on that target.”
