Of course one can practice to see the maximum distance one can take this skill out to.

For years I have been a pure "front sight focus/flash front sight " shooter. A few years ago I realized that at close contact distances I didn't need to use my sights as much as I needed to be fast. I began a training regimen where I simply brought my gun in line with my sight line and engaged the target. While it isn't as surgical as "front sight focus" it is infinitely faster.
I have made this a regular part of my training plan. I have found that I get hits, of acceptable accuracy, out to 15 yards using this method but I prefer to use my sights after 10 yards because for me that is where the "speed versus accuracy trade-off" seems to merge.
