For those students who have completed the Handgun Tactical Scenarios course during the day, learning to fight at night is the next step to develop mastery in the art of combat tactics.
Cost: $100/day for members
Prerequisite Class(s): See table below
Why Night Courses?
Most fights occur during times of low-light or even complete darkness. Training
during daylight hours alone is not preparing you to win should you ever need
to fight with your firearm in the dark. That`s why Front Sight offers you a
selection of our courses at night. We offer our night courses during the summer
months when the daytime temperatures in southern Nevada are quite hot but the
nights are beautiful. The weather during the night courses is usually about
70-75°, calm, and clear. Who could ask for better training conditions?
Hours of Training:
The night courses run from 6:30
p.m. through 12:30 a.m. Please plan on
being at Front Sight from 6:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m.
How are the night courses different from the daytime versions?
Front Sight`s night courses start in the evening before the sun sets. This
allows a brief review of the skills learned during the prerequisite courses.
As the sun sets and the light fades, you will be learning low-light techniques
to get reliable hits on your target. Once the ambient light is gone, you will
be using your flashlight to gain target identification, sight alignment, and
sight picture. You will learn night-specific After Action Drills and malfunction
clearances. The "Skill Builder" series of courses culminate in a skills
test and do not have tactical exercises. The "Tactical" series of
courses have numerous tactical exercises and scenarios and do not have a skills
test.
Prerequisites:
You must have completed an appropriate daytime course at Front Sight in the
weapon you wish to use at night. Listed below are the courses which satisfy
