Friday Night Lights: Introduction to Low-Light / Night Shooting

Instructor: David Sweeney

When the lights go out, are your shooting skills ready?

Shooting in low-light environments presents an entirely different set of challenges. Identifying your target, managing your equipment, and maintaining accuracy become significantly more demanding when visibility is limited.

Join instructor David Sweeney for Friday Night Lights, an immersive 5-hour training experience designed to introduce shooters to the fundamentals of low-light and nighttime handgun employment.

This course takes you beyond traditional daylight shooting and introduces the techniques necessary to effectively utilize both handheld flashlights and weapon-mounted lights. Through practical instruction and live-fire exercises, students will develop the skills to manage their firearm, identify targets, and deliver accurate shots in reduced-light environments.

• Fundamentals of low-light shooting and the challenges of reduced visibility.
• Proper use and application of handheld and weapon-mounted lights.
• Techniques for safely drawing and manipulating a handgun while managing a light source.
