Low Light Pistol Skills
$150.00
Description
This is a pure skills course with no ammunition requirement. According to the National Institute of Justice, the majority of gunfights take place in low or diminished lighting conditions. This includes ambient natural and artificial light as well as the use of illumination tools. There are specific principles for how to operate in diminished light that drives correct tactics and motor skills which are NOT intuitive; they must be learned and practiced. There is more to prevailing in a low light encounter than holding a pistol in one hand and a flashlight in the other!
This 4-hour indoor course is a perfect precursor or companion/review course to our fall live-fire range course CCW3: Prevailing In Low Light. This is also a budget-friendly way to practice motor skills in a real-world setting such as a church, community center, or school since there is no live-fire range component and ammunition is not required.
Prerequisite
None. All skill and experience levels are welcome.

Signed up for Low-light Pistol course to incorporate tactical lighting skills into EMS work.
Todd & team combine this with thought-out, practical & dynamic pistol skills.

This was my second time taking the class. I was happy to see the changes and the one-on-one for each student . It was like taking a completely different class . I love your coaches! They teach each person according to their abilities and skill level. I have some difficulty moving but they showed me how to work within my abilities. I believe I am a better sheepdog after every class with Todd and his coaches! Thank you very much!

Hey Todd,
Wanted to thank you again for the low light training this past weekend. You do an excellent job and your team is top notch!
My oldest son wanted to go through the flashlight drills and it was an amazing experience bonding with him and going over some of the techniques the training covered.
Blessings!
