Sorry guys-I understand the concept but I see no advantage over established technique, gun/ grip blocks too much view for me. If my car had an elevated swiveling bar stool maybe I could see the light. Last 2 pairs of "head shots" appear to miss. Maybe it's just me...

@sbd45acp The isosceles and weaver stances don't work very well in small spaces like a car. The CAR system is a stable shooting platform that actually increases visibility for a number of reasons. Do you know that each eye has a natural blind spot of 10 degrees? So when you close one eye to shoot, you lose 60 percent of your visibility. Using CAR, both eyes are kept open and the strong eye acquires the front sight while maintaining total peripheral vision.

@civilianarmstraining OK I 'm confused- How do I maintain "total peripheral vision' If I am already down 20 degrees of natural blind spot?At no point did I state that I close either eye.If one eye acquires the front sight-"it" cannot maintain periph vision. Perhaps you mean- with both eyes open it is easier to maintain periph vision When in the already tight confines of an actual car I find that holding a handgun 6 inches in front of my face REALLY blocks out A LOT of down range threat area.

@sbd45acp Our eyes compensate for each other, so when they're both open there is no blind spot. But when you close one eye, you lose 50 percent of your vision plus another 10 percent for the blind spot in the open eye. Which yes, means it's easier to maintain peripheral vision. The handgun is only brought up in front of the face when you're engaging the threat. When you are scanning for threats the gun is brought down to what is called the "combat high" position.

@sbd45acp Also, these are usually civilian students in the videos, not law enforcement or military. They aren't professional shooters and will often miss their targets as they learn.

@civilianarmstraining Law Enforcement, Military & Professional shooters don't miss?

Not only is C.A.R. just Point Shooting with two hands, but it's entirely unsafe. Plus, I don't fancy getting hit in the throat with cartridges. Weaver stance is very comfortable in a car, even on the weak side, and it places the muzzle of the pistol away from your own body. I can't imagine trying to use C.A.R. in a high-speed situation with a seatbelt on. It's a Negligent Discharge lung perforation waiting to happen.

@civilianarmstraining Been training and learning for 26 years now- I still often miss my targets....

I hope you guys are good confidence builders because I'm right handed and I've never shot left handed, let alone do hand transitions and shoot with your non-dominant hand with the pistol that close to you!

The barstool position, very nice!
