Defensive Skills for Armed Citizens in Reduced-Light Environments
Course Description
What You'll Learn
PRICE INCLUDE RANGE FEE
Most violent criminal activity occurs during hours of darkness or reduced visibility, yet most firearms training takes place during daylight.
Our Low-Light Defensive Applications is designed for responsible armed citizens who want to develop the knowledge, judgment, and practical skills necessary to safely operate in low-light environments.
Students will learn how to identify potential threats, effectively utilize handheld and weapon-mounted lights, navigate reduced-light conditions, communicate effectively, and make sound defensive decisions while maintaining accountability for every action.
Unlike traditional square-range training, this course focuses on real-world defensive applications and the challenges associated with reduced visibility.
Because opportunities for structured low-light firearms training are limited in Southern California, this course is also attended by security professionals, law enforcement officers, military personnel, firearms instructors, and experienced concealed carry permit holders seeking to maintain and enhance their capabilities.
