hip shooting

Shooting without aiming

Hip shooting is firing a gun from the hip rather than raising it to eye level and using the sights.

The technique sacrifices accuracy for speed, useful only at close range.

Figuratively, to shoot from the hip is to speak or act impulsively without careful deliberation: He's known for shooting from the hip in press conferences.
