Low-Light Shooting in and of itself is advanced. Basic fundamentals of marksmanship, target identification, threat verification, and weapon manipulation are still needed; the advanced quality of Low-Light Shooting is due to the requirement to apply all of these basic tasks in a fast and complex environment without the normal use of your visual senses.
A weapon-mounted visible light does not help you reload. It does not help you transition or clear malfunctions. All these acts must be done using your other senses and relying heavily on how well you “Know” your weapon systems inside and out.
Now, switch to non-visible lights & aiming lasers, and we add the requirement to wear Night Vision Devices (NVDs). Whether wearing Monocular PVS-14s, Binos, or Quads; your field of view and normal human actions are great hindered. You can’t just “move your eyes” to see left or right; you must turn your whole head, left, right, up & down. This takes practice.
Our No-Light CQB Course covers the fundamentals of CQB and shooting in limited visibility.

BONUS for this Class:
We understand that dropping thousands of dollars for a set of Night Vision Goggles is a BIG purchase; especially if you have never messed with NVDs before. We will have several different types of NVDs there for Clients to try out, along with IR Illuminators for clients to mount on this weapons. We are in negotiations with AGM Global Vision to provide NVDs for this class. Once approved; current plan:
AGM to provide new PVS-14s with Gen-2+ Tube (complete kits) per course attendee
Clients will have the option to purchase their optic upon completion of the course, at price discounted from AGM website.
Those optics not purchased by clients will be returned to AGM.
If a student wants to buy a DIFFERENT optic from AGM(example: PVS-51 Binos), please notify us ahead of class, and AGM will change out a PVS-14 for whatever the client wants to purchase. It will be waiting for you, at a discounted price, when you arrive at class. Client is locked in to purchase BEFORE start of course.
Class starts at 0800hrs in the classroom. More class details will be emailed to attending students prior to course.
