snap-shooting
Shooting without aiming
Snap-shooting is taking photographs quickly and casually, without careful composition or technical adjustment—the approach of the snapshot rather than the studio portrait.
In hunting and military contexts, it means firing rapidly at a target without deliberate aim: The bird flushed unexpectedly, forcing him into snap-shooting.
Video games use the term for quick, reactive aiming.
