Low-Light, No-Light Pistol Class

$299.00

Low Light Shooting Course

Many defensive shootings occur in low light or no light environments. This can be shooting during the hours of darkness, or in an interior environment with limited ambient light. To better prepare for such an encounter, we are providing a course focused on low light, no light shooting tactics. This course will focus heavily on the use of flashlights and other outside forms of illumination, the use of ambient light to obtain an acceptable sight picture, and the importance of target discrimination on defensive shootings. To this end, the course will utilize both the shooting range, as well as the indoor simulator with airsoft or simunition for training.

*Start and end times will vary depending on the time of the year.
