ABOUT THIS COURSE
PTG Low Light Handgun is a one-day course designed to develop the skills required to effectively operate and perform with a handgun in reduced-light and low-light environments.
Students will work through low-light identification, handheld and weapon-mounted light techniques, presentation, target identification, recoil management, shooting fundamentals, and decision-making under changing lighting conditions.
The course progressively introduces students to the challenges created by reduced visibility, including managing light, maintaining visual awareness, identifying threats and non-threats, and maintaining efficient gun handling while operating in an unfamiliar environment.
