Center Axis Relock (C.A.R.) ??

Is it real??

Watched John Wick, I & II a couple times. Good action flick. Keanu Reeves is perfect for the part. Very similar to Léon (Jean Reno) in The Professional (1994)

Both use the keep your mouth shut and shoot until they are all dead philosophy..

Reeves is very fit, practices frequently and doesn't need stunt doubles, BUTT

Is the CAR method use in the real world, by LEO's or the military,,
Or was it developed as a whizz-bang super-cool gimmick for the movies?

I ask because every time I see someone shot from the LOW position, I'm thinking the shooter is getting a face full of blow-back gas & unburnt powder? PLUS a real good ear pop..

I also question the HIGH position canted hold??

Mandatory gratuitous and violent shooter training film from UT (find it yourself)

Center Axis Relock, lolz, what a joke.

Center Axis Relock lolol, sure, it's used by hollywood and actors that have no clue what real shooting is........ bet he paid out the ass to learn to shoot by a fake "shooting" instructor..........

Next they will be using the "gangster" method. Personally I'd like to see them using the "over the head" method.


Center Axis Relock, lol, can't even type it without laughing, is right up there with "point shooting".

The C.A.R. method and its inventor, Paul Castle, both come with a bit of controversy. It may have limited applications, think shooting to the side out of vehicle, but personally, I steer clear of niche systems. If it was that great, the SMUs would all be using it. To the best of my knowledge, they don't.

Surgical “handgun” shooting is no different than a golf swing. If you want to be good you practice the basics and work to the advanced levels. The approved/mastered style is out there and being taught by the best of the best.

But, just like golf, there are those with every gimmick known to man trying to make their name in some crazy way.

My favorite is still point shooting, method used, pointing a gun in a general direction and hoping you connect.

“Center Axis Relock” is right up there with point shooting, point the handgun in the general direction and hope you make contact. Even more amusing it’s being made “famous” by someone that pretends to be a warrior in a hollywood movie.

That said, if you enjoy snake oil salesmen you might like this method of shooting. I’ve been practicing the “over the head” method myself. Haven’t hit a damn thing yet but it’s lots of fun.

Crap, it’s like those “10 ways to make your D bigger” clickbait adds.

I was like, “I’ve never heard of CAR”

I’ll never get back those 30 seconds of my life!!!
