The goal of this course is to have students learn and demonstrate the fundamentals of marksmanship and perform manipulation techniques in lowlight conditions.

OBJECTIVE

This course is a practical exercise conducted at a live-fire range. The student will demonstrate movement with and without light(s). The combination of accuracy, movement, light placement and identification (while in diminished light) makes this course challenging and necessary.
