Interest in low light class?

[Cruel Hand Luke]

Hey guys...gauging the interest in a low light class in the middle of March. The specific date I'm looking at is March 12 which is the last day before the time changes so we'll have an extra hour of darkness to work with.

 

It would be a pistol class that would require probably 200-250 rounds of ammo. It would include lots of shooting with flashlights and without in low or no light. You will see just how much light you need to shoot by and how much you need to ID targets. Also a fair amount time will be devoted to using the flashlight as a tool to help you get deselected in the "pre fight interview" , use as a distraction device and impact weapon, and as a bridge from less lethal to lethal force. 

 

Class would probably run from about 4pm to 11pm. 

 

So...who's interested? 

[Jamie Jackson]

I am.

 

I plan to contact a few folks and see if anyone wants to ride with me.

 

Low light training/shooting is a very rare opportunity. Couple that with Randy's expertise? It's a no-brainer for me.

I would love to, cost likely bring the main con for me. What would cost be estimated?

CZ beat me to it.. I'm curious to know the cost as well. I'd love to attend if the pricing allowed.

 

I have a weapon light but no holster for it. Would that be a problem?

As to cost it will most likely be in the $160 range. 

 

As to WML (Weapon Mounted Light) if you want to use that for some of the class that is fine. I will cover both the use of hand held lights and WML. And the lack of a holster for it is not really that big a handicap since most people using a WML equipped pistol to check out the bump in the night at 3AM will not be wearing a holster. But for the overwhelming majority of the drills approximating defending against street crime we will be using a hand held light like the Surefire 6P or G2 or Streamlight scorpion. After all, you can walk down any street in the world with a palmed flashlight.....not so much with a WML equipped gun in your hand so even if we have a WML we still need to carry a handheld when out in public.

 

Depending on what weapon mounted light you have and on which pistol you use  I might be able to hook you up with a holster.

I'm taking my first civilian handgun course that weekend.  Later or earlier in the year and I'd be interested.

I'd be interested.

where will the class be held? 

[Cruel Hand Luke]

Dayton TN at The Ridge.....http://www.theridgeshooting.com/ .

 

 There are not a whole lot of places that are open to the idea of people shooting after dark....

[Mwhiskey]

Sounds real fun!  I'm fishing a BFL on that date...maybe next time.  I'm a new shooter.  I was thinking it might be a good idea for me to shoot a couple of IDPA's before going into a low light environment.  

[chances R]

Yes......interested

[Cruel Hand Luke]

OK, March 12 would be the date, 4pm to 11pm eastern would be the time and $160 would be the price....sooooo......anyone else interested?
