Low Light Pistol Course
This course is designed to identify deficiencies and enhance the capabilities of all shooters from novice to advanced when operating in low or no light environments with a pistol.
We do not believe in levels when it comes to a gunfight. There is only performance. That’s why we focus on building a solid foundation in fundamentals and then pressure-testing those fundamentals under realistic, compromised lighting conditions.
In the real world, violent encounters often occur in low light environments where the advantage typically lies with the attacker. This course prepares students to respond effectively in these scenarios, whether indoors or outdoors, by focusing on light management and precision shooting under stress.

• Light selection: weapon-mounted vs. handheld white lights
