Because we carry our firearms all the time, OR we have them for home defense, there is a good chance that we will encounter a situation where the lighting is not optimal. This may be in the evening or at night, or it may be in your home. SOME EXAMPLES: the parking garage, a stairwell, hallway, alleyway, closets, tunnels, etc.

Regardless of the situation, if the lights go out, or there is just not enough to see well, you need to learn how to operate your handgun, rifle, or shotgun in a low or reduced light setting.

In this LIVE FIRE course, we will cover the variable options for hand held, weapon mounted, and other types of lighting. Then, you will get to experience live fire utilizing various methods.

I am also implementing the same on Tuesday Night’s CCW Shoot.
