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.

After mastering drills with live ammo on flat-range, we will be training in a “NON-Livefire” Shoot House.
All Students use some sort of Non-Livefire weapon. We will have Unit Solution Carbines for all students to use at no charge.
We are welcome to bring your system if you want: While Simmunition/UTM are recommended; Airsoft is acceptable.
We got Unit Solutions to sponsor our event again. If so, we will use their excellent “Non-Weapon” training systems. If you have a Unit Solutions AR Carbine, you are highly encouraged to bring it, as we only have a limited number.
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 their weapons. We are in negotiations with AGM Global Vision to provide NVDs and/or IR illuminators as needed for this class.
Students are strongly encouraged to bring their own NVDs & IR illuminators for this class.
IF you NEED to BORROW a NVD; please let us know ASAP, so we can ensure we have enough for the class. We will have PVS-14s (green & WPH options) along with head harnesses & a few helmet mounts
If you need a IR illuminator to mount on your rifle, let us know ASAP; so we can source enough for class.
If a student wants to buy a DIFFERENT optic from AGM(example: PVS-51 Binos), please notify us ahead of class, and AGM will provide 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.
