Disclaimer: This class will start at 16:00 in the conference room at the Spanish Fork Hampton Inn & Suites with 1.5 - 2 hours of class time, then the class will transition to the Shoot house on range 8 at the Thistle Gun Range. Starting with this Monday Low-Light course will eliminate Friday’s training day. Training Course OverviewA low-light tactics course covering two- and three-man team techniques, light discipline, and structure-based scenarios inside the Action Target Match Shoot House - giving officers the tools to maintain a tactical advantage in diminished lighting conditions.
Course DescriptionThis course prepares officers to operate confidently and effectively in low-light environments, with a focus on two- and three-man tactics that are directly applicable to real-world patrol and response situations. Training takes place inside the Action Target Match Shoot House, giving officers a realistic, immersive environment to develop and apply their skills. Officers will work through scenarios designed around confronting subjects within a structure - learning how to maintain a tactical advantage while moving toward custody in low-light conditions. A strong emphasis is placed on the use and discipline of light, including the strategic advantages of carrying both a high-power weapons light and a handheld light, and how to leverage each effectively during an engagement.
Beyond the range, attendees will also participate in a discussion on low-light training standards and legal requirements - equipping officers not just with personal skills, but with the knowledge to bring a robust low-light training program back to their agency.
Officers will leave this course with sharper low-light tactics, a deeper understanding of light discipline and gear selection, and the framework to elevate their agency's approach to low-light training and preparedness.
