BLUF: Carbine + Pistol: Day and Night w/ Night Vision
This course focuses on the all-weather, day-or-night employment of the epitome of the citizen’s individual weaponry, the rifle. Pistols will be used in the role they are most ideally suited for; as a backup, a fallback for when things have gone extraordinarily sideways.
Guided discussions on gear selection and tactics; range work and drills to build skills, all in varied lighting conditions.
