ADVANCING THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS OF PROFESSIONAL FIREARMS INSTRUCTORS

Low Light Shooting: White Light

$400

This 2-day / 16-hour instructor development course is based on our Low Light Shooting Instructor Certification course but focuses specifically on white light illumination tools.  In addition, firearms instructors will be exposed to training methodologies that will enhance their low light training program. Most basic firearms instructor courses usually dedicate about 4-5 hours to low light shooting and only conduct basic low light drills.  This instructor development course goes much further in depth.  Emphasis will be placed on developing live-fire drills that enhance student's ability to learn both hand-held techniques and weapon-mounted systems for both handguns and shoulder-fired weapons.  The concepts taught in this course apply to ALL weapon disciplines for creating better training.

This course is PENDING approved by the NRA LE Division for 16 hours of continuing education credit.

NOTE:  This course requires the use of carbines / rifles. Students don't need to be certified as a rifle instructor to attend.  However, students must have successfully completed a rifle operator certification course of 16+ hours to attend this course.
