Flat Earth Society? It's been around a while. I'm a pilot, small planes, not the 727 mentioned earlier, but multi engine and instrument rated, I'm pretty sure I've seen the edge of the earth and that's why I stay pretty close and cautious when flying in the clouds. Don't want to fly off the edge!

As for this CAR shooting, a guy who was pretty good at gaming shooting competitions came up with a name that he thought was snappy and sold it. Congrats to him for making a buck. But buyer beware...

I always wondered when I was doing a HALO train up, why I could only see so far. That was the edge, eh?

Good thing the glide ratio on an MC4 sucked or I could have fallen off the side too!


The more TV I watch, the more I’m seeing this CAR thing. I guess he’s well known in the Hollywood circles, not so much in the shooting circles. I’ve never seen anyone win a shooting comp using CAR. I guess it’s so good that guys like Rob Letham are using that method.... no, wait, what?

Watched “John Wick II” again last night just to view the “Center Axis Relock” method…….. lol. Was nothing but “point shooting”. And the “grip” Keanu Reeves was employing was not a grip at all. The only thing different in the “new” hollywood movies is that it shows the actor reloading. He/she still hits everything he points the gun at…….

The absolute worst weapons instructors out there make this kind of crap up just to sell to unwitting sheep. Nothing different than selling a piece of shit used car to a first-time car buyer. Except this sort of bullshit will get real people killed.


Where’s Bill Hillar and Wolfgang Hammershit? Bet both of them could sell this shooting style!

You’ve been warned.


You'd be better off going here to up your golf game.

While I have absolutely no love for CAR, there is one thing I am certain of, and that is that Reeves can shoot for real. An Israeli guy (supposedly Mossad) that is in the Hollywood circle taught Reeves all the funky CAR shit, among other fucked up things that show up in movies.

The person who taught Reeves how to shoot for real is Taran Butler ( 3 gun champion). What you see Reeves doing in the movies as far as shooting/weapon manipulation goes is legit, meaning he can do it with real rounds and hit a target. I'm sure many have seen the You tube videos of Reeves shooting and running drills at Tarans range. If you haven't, go check them out. And surprisingly enough, you won't see Reeves using CAR while he is shooting real rounds.

I learned everything I know from Ermy movies.

SF - Rambo (the movie not the piece of "work")
Patrolling - Predator
Pistol MMS - John Wick
Long Gun - Jack Reacher
Jumping - Jumping Jacks


Anybody that takes anything from Hollyweird seriously deserves what they get. Usually fleeced.

Easy to get hits when you’re shooting full size IPSC targets at 3 feet. His hits at longer targets suck. Run a stage enough times and eventually you’ll get better at it. He’s an actor, that’s his job is to play circus monkey over and over again until the camera gets the right footage.

While Taran is a great shooter, don’t forget how many idiots he chooses to represent him (Amy Jane - busted for stolen valor; Rochelle Hathaway - anti 2A).

Say and believe what you want. However I have been on Taran's range and seen Reeves shoot not only the close targets, but the far ones.....the ones 300+ meters out, up on the hill behind the flat range.

Regardless of the target(s) distance, he can hit the targets with all 3 guns better than most average gun owners out there. Make no mistake, he has put in the work and can run a gun cold.

As far as Taran goes, I know the man personally and he is a genuine nice guy. Those people you mentioned made their own choices and aren't representative of him any more than you are representative of anyone you've known in your life thats done something questionable/objectionable.
