CAR Training Observations

Now what I'm kind of thinking is instead of extending my arms, find my sights, and then fire, what if I just tilted my gun slightly from that CAR-type position to acquire my sights and then press. Would I be faster and possibly more accurate? It's a question I'd like to explore.

Not surprisingly this was a concern for several people during the class. However, the truth is, while you are holding the gun closer to your face than you would in a more traditional stance, the reality is that you're still holding the gun more than 8-10 inches away from your face, so it's a non-issue.

Likewise, there's no getting a flash burn on your face; the gun is simply too far from your face.

Also, because of the mechanics of your arms and hands, there is basically no rearward component to the recoil impulse; just some muzzle flip which is also greatly reduced. or to be more precise, it's much easier to control muzzle flip in the CAR position.

Competition shooters use techniques because they allow rapid accurate hits. Shooting from retention requires a different technique.

Why use a technique that does not work? Novice shooters will benefit from ANY quality training.
