DESCRIPTION

Even during the day, low light conditions still occur in areas like parking structures, public garages or service corridors. Darkness significantly impacts your ability to clearly see objects, individuals and potential threats; in a self-defense situation, the successful use of illumination will give you a critical advantage. This course will provide you with the fundamentals of integrating a hand held or weapon mounted light into your self-defense training.

No night vision training is included in this course. If you are interested in learning to use night vision optics, check out our NVG/Thermal course.

MINIMUM ROUND COUNT – 200 rounds
