Tactical Training

Low Light Pistol. (3 hours)

COURSE OBJECTIVES:  Recent statistics have shown that the vast majority of shootings occur at night. Most civilian shooters have not trained on the proper use of flashlights or weapon mounted lights. Our Low Light Pistol Course is a three hour class designed to teach you the skills that are currently in use by police and military operators while operating in low light/no light situations.

Students will participate in both classroom and live-fire instruction.  We will show you how to properly hold the flash light, search techniques, shooting with flash lights and Weapon Mounted Lights (WML), as well as light choice and carrying techniques.

Choosing a proper light is critical to survival. We will demonstrate the difference between incandescent, LED, and halogen flash lights and show the advantages/disadvantages of all three. After a classroom session we will move to the range (as the sun goes down) and to provide the students with live-fire instruction on how to shoot your handgun in conjunction with a light.

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT:

• Handgun or revolver

• 150 rounds of ammunition

• Belt mounted holster and magazine carrier

• Flashlight and/or Weapon Mounted Light

• Extra Batteries

• Ear and Eye protection

If you need a light, let us know in advance and we will have some available for sale at the class.

Schedule:  TBA.  6-9 PM. 

 Minimum number of students: 4

As of July 8, 2011, anyone who meets the same requirements to obtain a Wyoming concealed weapons permit can legally carry a firearm in any place that is not specifically prohibited.  While this is a great step for those in Wyoming who desire to legally carry a firearm concealed without going through the paperwork of obtaining a Wyoming Concealed Firearms permit (CFP), it does not prepare the law abiding citizen with the knowledge and the skills required to responsibly carry a firearm concealed. 

TSI, Inc. is hosting a Concealed Weapon Carry Course on TBA  at  the Grizzly Rock Ranch Range Facility  to train, qualify and certify those individuals who would like to obtain their Wyoming CFP, or would like to have the training to carry a firearm responsibly.  Class will start at 0900 hours and will conclude at 5 PM.  All targets, training materials, Wyoming CFP applications will be provided.  Our class size is limited to 8 participants.

Students should bring their personal firearm (semi-auto or revolver), holster, extra magazine/speed loader pouch (if you have one), 50 rds. of ammunition and a small notebook.  We will break for lunch at 1200 hrs., so bring a sack lunch as well.  Coffee and water will be available to all without charge.  If you don’t have your own firearm, We have a limited supply of training pistols and can provide you with one of ours.  As ammunition is sometimes hard to fiind however, you will have to provide the ammunition.

Course will cover:

• Wyoming Gun Laws

• Ammunition and firearms selection for Concealed carry

• Holsters and ancillary equipment selection

• Loading, unloading a firearm

• Safe storage requirements
