I have heard of pointshooting, and I have even practiced it a bit (only Sundance does it really well). I have never done what that guy is doing, and I watched this episode. I am crazy disappointed with the show, but I have this morbid curiosity that keeps me watching to see how they screw up the next episode.
One of the many reasons I dropped out of that show a few seasons ago. Read John Ringo’s “Black Tide Rising” series or “World War Z” (the book. not the movie) if you want zombie stories with people who know what they are doing.
Go read Ringo’s “Under A Graveyard Sky”, for a fresh take on zombies. That’s book #1 in a 4 part series (Black Tide Rising series). Everyone could appreciate some Faith and Hope in their life, if dealing with a world overwhelmed like that. Keep an eye out for the Teddy bear’s cameo appearances.
…or read Larry Correia’s Monster Hunter International (and the four sequels, with more coming). Great writing, believable characters, interesting treatment of zombies and others… and yes, he knows his guns.
Ringo’s zombie series is a great read (as is almost everything he has written). Trixie is a bit soft-hearted, but Faith kicks ass. World War Z is a great read. The movie is meh. No real relationship to the book. Correia’s work is really fun to read. He builds great believable worlds. S. M. Stirling can be a bit preachy sometimes, but I really like his “Emberverse” series. Not every book is a gem, but some are, and none of them are bad. The first book in the series is one of the best. Gets you hooked.

You mean like how he has an invisible eye at his hairline?

If that gun were real, he wouldn’t hang onto it upon the shot.

We’re supposed to believe he’s survived a couple of years of zombies and doesn’t know how to shoot? Do they even have a weapons advisor on set?

I don’t watch the show anymore, but will assume the actor is British.

Oops, saved too soon. Andrew Lincoln can’t aim a gun either.

But was he standing still in that shot or firing at something behind him while running away?

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I distinctly heard a collective groan from the entire gun community that watched that episode.

Feeling lucky, punk?
Are you?
Go ahead, make my day….pull that trigger!
Evolution in action….

Some dumb SOB actually TEACHES that grip, insisting that it’s superior because you “point shoot” using the index finger as your aiming device:

Never seen the walking dead but World War Z is a great read!

Just letting you know that the character in the picture is missing his index finger. That said, the gun handling sucks.
