Learn To Shoot Like John Wick!
Welcome to our highly specialized and comprehensive 2-day firearms training course centred around the innovative center axis relock (CAR) system. In an ever-evolving world where personal safety and effective self-defense are paramount, mastering cutting-edge firearm techniques is essential. Our CAR system course is designed to equip shooters of all levels with the knowledge and skills required to harness the full potential of this groundbreaking shooting methodology. The CAR system in not only movie fiction used by John Wick but is primarily a valuable addition to regular shooting techniques that every shooter should learn, and used by many Law Enforcement agencies.
The center axis relock (CAR) system is a revolutionary firearms technique that was developed by Paul Castle, a highly respected firearms instructor with extensive Law Enforcement and self-defense experience. This system has gained immense popularity and recognition for its adaptability, efficiency, and effectiveness in various tactical and defensive shooting scenarios.
At its core, the CAR system employs a unique and ergonomic shooting stance that maximizes both control and accuracy. By bringing the firearm closer to the body and adopting a bladed stance, CAR allows shooters to maintain a natural point of aim, ensuring rapid target acquisition and enhanced shooting precision. This method also facilitates faster transitions between targets, making it particularly suited for close-quarters combat situations where speed and accuracy are of the essence.
Benefits of the CAR System
- Enhanced Control: The CAR system provides shooters with a stable and well-balanced platform, reducing recoil and allowing for more controlled and accurate shots.
- Improved Target Acquisition: CAR's intuitive stance and shooting posture enable shooters to acquire targets swiftly and maintain situational awareness in dynamic environments.
- Versatility: This technique is adaptable to various shooting scenarios, making it suitable for both Law Enforcement professionals and civilians concerned with personal defense.
- Reduced Exposure: The CAR system minimizes the shooter's profile, making them a smaller target and enhancing their chances of survival in a defensive situation.
- Efficiency Under Stress: CAR's simplicity and efficiency shine in high-stress situations, ensuring that shooters can perform effectively when it matters most.
- Increased Speed: Faster target transitions and more efficient shooting movements enable shooters to engage multiple threats rapidly and decisively.
Our 2-day CAR Firearms Training Course is designed to empower participants with a solid foundation in the CAR system, equipping them with the skills and confidence needed to excel in various shooting scenarios.
