Low Light Pistol August 12

I was one of five who took this VERY interesting course last night. After a lively discussion of about 45 minutes covering different types of flashlight, cost versus utility and the effect of strobes, we went onto the range for a 200 round class. The course was conducted entirely in the dark, with flashlights, and lasted almost four hours.

 

We were shown five different ways of working with a flashlight. Three of these allowed a double-handed grip (of sorts!) to be used, two required strong single-handed skill to get shots on target. We performed what would ordinarily be a very basic drill on shooting strong-side and weak-side from cover, and learned how much more demanding this is in the dark.

 

The course was stepped up further by having to perform tactical and emergency reloads in the dark, with the flashlight, and learned the importance of not lighting oneself directly or indirectly while doing so, and how difficult it is to achieve this. A short exercise on moving while keeping the flashlight still (difficult and counter-intuitive) rounded out the course.

 

The shooting drills performed in this course would be well-within the skills of most experienced pistol shooters in the light. It was extraordinary how disorientating it was to work in the dark, and manipulate one's gun, reload AND shoot accurately, while having to hold and aim a flashlight, and turn it on and off.

 

This course is recommended and it is a challenge - it was great fun and very demanding even though the course of fire was straightforward. There was a lot to think about.

Couldn't have said it any better.. Got to meet and shoot with some really cool people. Cameron as usual made me feel like I got my moneys worth and then some and that is always a plus.

We also help you fill in the application so it wont be returned for being completed improperly.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By raz-0 · Posted

      In 50 years of living in NJ I've never experienced any attempt to inspect the interior of the home, and only one definite inspection of the exterior for an announced reassessment of all properties and that was a drive by. About 9 years of that was living in an apartment, but still, uncommon. Every place I lived had either a finished attic, basement, or both. But they were also included in the habitable square footage on the taxes when we got there.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By Tunaman · Posted

      27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford,  47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving.   Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get.  Tax and spend is all they know.  Never cut anything.  This state sucks.

      I get the added benefit that since I have a TSP rather than a true 401(k) they tax my retirement too. Yaaaay!
