Advance Pistol L8 - Center Axis Relock  (aka) C.A.R.

Designed by Paul Castle. The most notable feature of the CAR system is its unique firing stance. There are four positions that are taught, each of which is used based on how far the target is from the shooter, as well as various tactical considerations for the situation. All firing positions are based on a "bladed" stance, which means the shooter stands sideways relative to their target, with their non-dominant arm's shoulder facing the target. In addition, all four positions involving keeping the firearm very close to the torso compared to other shooting stances, and in all but one, the weapon is held tilted slightly to one side, rather than vertically. The four individual positions are described as follows:
High, Combat High, Extended, Apogee.

Cardiovascular-Distress-Shooting is a unique Discipline of training. We at D.G.C.F.S. focus on this discipline to help shooters and Security & L.E.O.  to better prepare for that potential gun battle. This discipline could potentially save your life or that of your love ones.
Here is a small out of what you could face at our complex. We will not let you know what your discipline outline will be till you are here.

                                    A typical obstacle course will likely be similar to the following:

Start in a patrol car with your seatbelt on and your hands on the wheel or at the end of your home.
When instructed, get out of the patrol car, open the trunk and retrieve a baton and an inert firearm or run from the corner of your home to the other end.
Place the firearm on a nearby pedestal.
While carrying the baton, run 220 yards.
Climb or jump over a short wall., High step over several low hurdles., Belly crawl, Drag a dummy weighing 150 pounds or more 50 feet.
Drop the dummy and repeat the rest of the course in reverse, Belly crawl, High step, Wall climb or run up stairs, Run 220 yards.
Dry fire the handgun or Tactical Airsoft live fire at target and Return to patrol car or house.
