NO LIVE AMMUNITION OR FIREARM IS REQUIRED FOR THIS COURSE

 

“It maybe light & bright outside, but it’s not always inside.”

 

Did you know that there is a difference between knowing how to use a weapon/light combination to shoot and actually knowing how to search?  Many people overlook this major detail. The Low Light Tactics course is a 9 hour block of instruction with applications geared toward the operator who already knows how to use a weapon and light combination in a shooting scenario, but does not necessarily know how to search in the same environment.  You will be taught different tactics and techniques using this combination to learn how to effectively search and, if necessary, engage a target in a dark environment.

We will explore single & partnership roles, communication, engagement of targets and how to use the dark as my strength to turn it against my opponent who can shoot back. This class will be taught using Simunition® where both sides of the search will be able to engage their opponent. This adds a sense of realism and stress that many people have never faced.

 

Simunition® is a unique training system engineered for safety and realism. Students will have the opportunity to use non-lethal Simunition® firearms and ammunition that will create a realistic training environment during role playing scenarios.  TFA is a Simunition® sponsored school and all equipment will be provided.

 

Students must have a background in using the weapon/light combination and have a hand held light in order to attend this class.  

 

 For safety reasons NO live ammunition or weapons of any kind will be permitted in the classrooms or on the range during Simunition® classes
