Center Axis Relock/C.A.R., Experiences or Opinions

[4DSJW]

I was just reading the CRPA December FL and saw an interesting article about the Center Axis Relock system of shooting. It sounds like it may be difficult to learn initially but that it may have some advantages. Has anybody spent time doing the C.A.R. training? What are your thoughts? What are the advantages or disadvantages?

Thanks for your input!

No professional shooters use it. That should tell you everything you need to know. In 22yrs of Military and civilian competitive shooting experience (including several deployments in a combat arms unit), I have never found a situation where this would even be a good tool in the toolbox.

What possible advantages, to it, are you seeing?

Since I have only read an article and not seen what they teach I can only go by the comment in the article that the author made about improved accuracy and less muzzle jump for faster second shots. If you disagree with the author's comments please feel free to share with the rest of the class... that's why I asked the question.

Read everything in "Tactical Ninja Times" with several large grains of salt.

...about improved accuracy and less muzzle jump for faster second shots.

I misunderstood. I thought you were comparing it to current stances and saw some possible advantages.

The C.A.R. system makes a couple of assumptions that are factually incorrect.
1. The different sides of the brain don't control the input from the eye on the same side...it does for the opposite eye... RE: Quell Sighting System
2. It isn't faster or more fluid to move from a bladed stance, than from that share by both the original Weaver or the Modern Isosceles, as there is a directional bias

As to the two points you've raised
1. Given equal trigger management, there is no difference in accuracy between the different techniques
2. Using the unequal force vectors of the arm position, combined with the canting of the gun, will slow shot-to-shot recovery rather than speed it up. It is actually regressing in it's recoil management philosophy.

Is there any video on this technique?
