JAN 31 @ 12:30 $200
Most defensive encounters don’t happen in broad daylight. When the lights go out, your ability to identify threats, control illumination, and shoot accurately can mean the difference between life and freedom. This focused, hands-on class teaches proven handheld flashlight techniques for use with your everyday carry or home-defense handgun — skills every responsible protector should know.
Led by a certified instructor in a controlled indoor range (low-light or simulated dark conditions), you’ll learn and practice the most effective, time-tested methods to illuminate threats while maintaining solid shooting fundamentals. Emphasis is on safety, speed, and real-world applicability — perfect for concealed carriers, home defenders, or anyone serious about low-light readiness.
Key Techniques & Skills Covered:
- The 4 Universal Firearms Safety Rules — always enforced, especially in low light
- Core handheld flashlight positions: Harries Technique, Neck Index, FBI Technique, and Rogers/SureFire Technique
- Pros, cons, and when to use each method (handheld vs. weapon-mounted considerations)
- Proper light activation, target identification, and threat assessment in darkness
- Live-fire drills: transitioning between techniques, shooting from various positions, controlled pairs & follow-ups under illumination
- Common errors (flinching, washing out sights, poor light discipline) and how to correct them
- Tactical considerations: light discipline, avoiding giving away your position, and managing battery/runtime
Prerequisites: Basic handgun proficiency required (comfortable with safe handling, loading/unloading, and firing). No prior low-light experience needed.
