Skills Maintenance/Low Light | July 26, 2024 | Ready Gunner

SUMMARY: 

Darkness impacts your ability to identify objects, individuals and potential threats; in a self-defense situation, the successful use of illumination will give you a critical advantage.

This Skills Maintenance class get you familiar with the use of lights (hand held or weapon mounted) and how they can be integrated into your personal and home protection plan.

This live fire course provides you an opportunity that is not easily practiced elsewhere- join us to work on and improve your skills in low light conditions!

The range provides a unique location to practice this low light with a few window coverings and a flip of a switch. Flip the lights back on for a debrief, change up the location of targets and hit the lights off for a whole new drill within minutes.

Work with drills from barricades, concealment, shelter, single and multiple targets, mounted and non mounted lights as well as lights shinning at you.
