Exactly. You don't have to be even trying for a short landing, just pick a spot on the runway where you want to touch down. If it works great, If it doesn't ask yourself why. Was the approach too high, too low, too fast, too slow, and then try to work on the factors that caused you to touchdown early or float past your intended touchdown point. The goal is accurate flying just becomes a habit
