About the course

About Dynamic Environments

Don’t let your environment dictate the outcome of a gunfight. As law enforcement officers or responsible armed citizens, we consistently operate in an unknown environment. This operational environment is 24/7 and due to the nature of our profession we can never expect perfect conditions, day or night.

This course will develop a more proactive mindset to training in the dark and increase your survivability when operating in low light environments. This course will also provide you with teachings and SOPs to take back to your respective departments or families. Students will utilize both rifle & pistol platforms, due to these platforms being most commonly found to be used in officer involved shootings at night. Students attending this course will have a complete understanding in utilizing both platforms day & night.

The readily available “Environment on Demand” capability that Action Target ranges offer is an excellent training opportunity that is often overlooked. Don’t pass up this opportunity!

This course utilizes lighting fundamentals and holds shooters accountable for every round sent down range. Whether you are military / law enforcement or just a prepared citizen, you will receive quality training from AHT instructors and staff that will help develop your skills and mindset.
