Firearms Training Op

January of this year I attended my first Center Axis Relock training course put on by CAR Instructor Bob Desrosier. The course was GREAT and I have been waiting for the next event to further sharpen my shooting skills and its HERE!

June 7th Argive Defense is hosting another course based on the CAR system of shooting. This course will center around vehicle tactics and is open to the public. Go here for more details: (www.ArgiveDefense.com)

The CAR system of shooting was developed by a guy named Paul Castle. I am a NRA certified Law Enforcement Firearms instructor for Handgun & Shotgun and met Mr. Castle at a training workshop at a Corrections based training weekend called the OLETC Mock Riot. As an instructor I have seen lots of "trick" shooting high speed stuff. All that stuff is great to watch and try but when the day is over you have to be able to convey those skills to the end user in a minimal amount of time. The CAR system does just that. It enables a person a strong stable platform to shoot from with minimal recoil and delivering accurate center mass shots at close range without conventionally aiming the weapon and providing a fool proof weapon retention aspect as well.

Check back to see how the vehicle class goes and maybe I'll have some cool pics or vid of the event.
