LOW-LIGHT OPERATIONS: PISTOL Jan/Feb, 2027 (CA)
Your pistol skills are only part of the equation when the light fades. Can you identify what you’re seeing, manage your light, and make accurate hits?
Our one-day Low-Light Pistol course builds confidence through practical instruction and live-fire training with handheld flashlights and weapon-mounted lights. Learn how darkness, shadows, and light placement affect your ability to see and shoot, then put those lessons to work on the range.
Find the gaps in your training before you have to rely on it.
