It is an exact analogy - when they draw and fire, they've aimed the gun at the target below the eye line. In the golf stroke, the Aiming Point is the target for the initial direction of thrust of PP#3(analogous to the bullet), also below the eye line.

Just for clarification - let me describe the exact analogy to the problem I was describing in my initial post where the hands don't go where you want them to go - give the brain's perspective i.e. above plane viewpoint.

To clarify - the essential element is how to control where your hands move.

If you have a gun target say 8 feet away (roughly the same distance from your eyes to the ball in the golf swing) at eye height. Let's assume you pull your gun from the holster at your side and the ideal technique is to bring your gun on a plane that goes directly from your holster to the target (that's the on-plane golf motion). So you start to thrust towards that gun target while at all times keeping you eye on the target (the ball in golf), finally the gun is in line with your view of the target. This may give you the sense/feeling that you took it on the correct line however if we draw a line from your holster to where your gun is at the end of your 3 foot arm - the actual angle it took was not from the holster to the target 8 feet away. If we wanted to use that procedure and have the hand with the gun move on a line from the holster to the gun target 8 feet away, you would need to pick a alternative target below the gun target that would coincide with the distance of three feet out - that would put you on that proper line. So is the aiming point concept still usable Whip? Sure - but it takes a simple geometry calculation to verify it's location in order to achieve the actual ideal movement.
