Sorry... that's the one.

The US Army published a manual 'Principles of Quick Kill' to go with a
training program. They used Daisy BB guns.

I adapted the idea to use with a BB pistol. With half decent lighting you
can see the BB in flight and correct sort of like trying to soak the cat

Glow in the dark? Had no idea! I have an ancient airgun (the one powered manually with a spring) and sometimes in the country house, I throw out a beer can on the lawn, and take steps away from it to see how far away I can get before I miss. That's the only sorry sort of fun you get in europe without a license. =(
I always wonder how much better I would shoot with a brand new gun?

They're all about two handed grips, Weaver stance and so forth, which I
was not used to. I was never very good at it but I did learn from the
experience. It might be counter-productive in the real world. You engage
each target with a 'double tap' and move on to the next target. That could
be a bad habit to get into.

Two handed? That's for nerds! In all cowboy movies I've seen it's one handed! And drawing is losing time, just shoot straight from the hip. ;)
