own the dark

This advanced nighttime firearms course pushes experienced shooters beyond square-range daylight work and into the realities of low-light performance. Train with pistol and rifle, build confidence in reduced visibility, and finish the night with two gun-match stages that test accuracy, weapon handling, and decision-making when it counts.

Train where skill matters most - in low light, under pressure, and in conditions that expose the gaps daylight can hide.

This Nighttime Firearms Training Course is built for experienced shooters only and is not for beginners. Students should already be safe, competent, and comfortable with drawing, loading, reloading, malfunction clearing, and accurate shooting from the holster before attending.

This course focuses on the practical realities of running a firearm after dark, including target identification, flashlight techniques, movement in reduced visibility, use of cover, decision-making, and maintaining accuracy when visual information is limited. Expect a fast-paced class with structured drills designed to sharpen weapon handling, situational awareness, and confidence in low-light environments.

To raise the standard and add a competitive edge, the class will also include two gun-match style stages, giving students the chance to apply low-light skills with both pistol and rifle in dynamic, performance-based exercises.
