Low Light Shooting

Master the Skills You’ll Need in the Conditions You’ll Actually Face

---

Is This the Right Course for You?

⊙ Do you carry a firearm but have never trained to use it in the dark?
⊙ Would you know how to identify a threat — or an innocent — in low light?
⊙ Have you ever used your flashlight and handgun together under stress?
⊙ Are you serious about protecting your loved ones when visibility is compromised?

If you’re carrying a firearm for self-defense, but haven’t trained in dusk, darkness, or artificial light — you’re only halfway prepared.

Train for Reality — Not Just the Range

Most armed encounters don’t happen in daylight. They occur in dim hallways, parking garages, during power outages, or inside your home when the lights are out. And that’s when your ability to act calmly, decisively, and ethically matters most.

In this course, you’ll go beyond static shooting. You’ll learn to manage the unknown — to move, aim, and think clearly in a low-light environment while safely handling your firearm.

Why Positive Target Identification (PID) Matters

In the dark, what you can’t see can hurt you — or someone else. One of the most critical parts of low-light defense is Positive Target Identification (PID). You must be able to distinguish between:

⊙ A family member
⊙ A non-threatening stranger
⊙ A legitimate, immediate threat

This course emphasizes the techniques and tools needed to identify your target before pulling the trigger. You’ll learn how to use handheld and weapon-mounted lights to safely assess a situation, verify what you’re seeing, and make life-or-death decisions under pressure — with clarity and confidence.

What You’ll Learn

⊙ Positive Target Identification using hand-held and mounted lights
⊙ One-handed shooting with flashlight in support hand
⊙ Multiple flashlight grip techniques for control and maneuverability
⊙ Moving and searching in low-light conditions
⊙ Reloading and malfunction drills under diminished visibility
⊙ Understanding light discipline and avoiding “backlighting” yourself
⊙ Communicating under stress
⊙ Situational awareness in transitional lighting (dusk, artificial, or shifting conditions)

This isn’t about shooting in the dark. It’s about building a system of vision, judgment, and control in low-visibility, high-stress environments.

Who This Class Is For

This course is ideal for:

⊙ Concealed carry permit holders
⊙ Home defenders and new parents
⊙ Firearm owners concerned with real-world self-defense
⊙ Shooters preparing for advanced pistol or night qualification courses

It’s a next-level skill builder — but we welcome any responsible gun owner serious about learning. You don’t need to be tactical. You just need to be willing to learn and take responsibility for your safety and the safety of others.
