When you hear statistics like "77% of defensive shootings occur in diminished light," it should make you wonder if you are prepared to defend yourself and your loved ones when it's not sunny and beautiful outside. If you carry a gun, the chances of you having to use it lean strongly to the dark side. If you have not thought about your choice of sights, handheld versus weapon-mounted white light selection, and the proper techniques of how to use them so that you don't get shot, then this course is a must. The curriculum focuses strictly on fighting in a low- to no-light environment.

Effects of darkness and light on the human eye
Night sight selection
