SUMMARY:

Low light is a challenging course that puts your skills to the test, one must complete Handgun Defensive or the equivalent to participate.

This course is taught by our most advanced instructors. – Todd Nielsen and team.

Fighting in a diminished light capacity is nothing short of difficult.

In the modern world, there are low lite areas even in broad daylight. These shadows and dark spots are a prime location for an adversary to attack you.

Proper identification of an assailant is an integral part of any armed encounter. The use of a light will assist with that proper identification in periods of darkness. This course is designed to teach you the core skills of working with a pistol and multiple kinds of flashlights. .

This course is based on hundreds of hours in the field with just the use of illumination devices.

We will NOT be using night vision optics in this course.

In this class we will build on the prior class fundamentals and your instructor will provide observations and suggestions to you regarding your technique, stance, grip etc,
