Description:

This intermediate course will focus on both the physiology, as well as, the mechanics of operating a handgun under adverse light conditions. This skill is of paramount importance given estimates as high as 75% of potentially lethal law enforcement engagements occur in less than ideal lighting conditions. Training will begin in the classroom with a thorough overview of how human vision works under adverse light as well as the fundamental mechanics of handgun manipulation when illumination devices are mandatory. Students will then transition to the range for the practical application of those skills demonstrated and articulated in the class room. Ultimately, this class will provide the student with those rudimentary skill necessary to shoot accurately when it is necessary to manipulate both a firearms and an illumination device. It will also prepare the student to transition seamlessly into Low Light Handgun Manipulations 2.

Must have:

Handgun
A handheld light at a minimum, however weapons mounted lights may be used as secondary lights
An appropriate holster designed for the weapon/weapons light system capable of being re-holstered single handedly
200 rounds of ammo
Ear and Eye protection
At least 2 magazines
Keep in mind all necessary items are available for rent or purchase at Defense in Depth
An open mind and willingness to adhere to fundamental firearms safety rules despite less than ideal conditions
