Low light Defensive techniques

Many attacks happen in low or no light environments. Are you ready and capable of defending yourself and your family in these conditions especially under stress? Can you consistently operate your rifle and handgun without looking at them? Can you perform reloads and clear malfunctions by feel?

This 1- night course provides the perfect opportunity to practice your handgun and carbine fundamentals in a low light environment and will allow you to learn various tactics for low light operations.

This is a 1-night course, almost all of which is done on the range. We will start in the late afternoon to make sure your weapons and gear are set up correctly and to practice the skills and techniques needed for a low light environment before we switch to live fire. As the sun sets, we will put these techniques to use doing a variety of drills and exercises.

Responsible citizens and armed professionals should take this class.

Discuss best practices for weapons light and handheld lights.
Techniques for light discipline to reduce signature and give away your position.
Implementing precision marksmanship principles for real world situations (not competition) in low light situations.
Implementing skills for rapidly engaging multiple threats with accurate shot placement in low light.
Re-enforce target identification and threat discrimination over “speed shooting” to ensure public safety and effectiveness in low light.
Implementing the “high ready / low ready” techniques, and when it is tactically advantageous to use each method in conjunction with your light.
Strengthen the shooter’s ability to shoot with dominate and non-dominate shooting positions to gain a tactical advantage or due to situational factors.
Practice live fire transitions from carbine to handgun, along gaining an understanding of when it is adventurous to use one system over the other.

Note:

This class includes stress drills where you will safely move through a predetermined course of fire engaging targets. These drills are optional based on each shooter’s abilities and comfort levels.

If students cannot safely keep up with the course tempo, the instructor may have students continue drills with gun clear and safe or sit out during the exercise for the safety of the group.
