    Anybody planning on attending this. I will be there to take advantage of the rare opportunity to shoot at night. I am excited because the weather should be excellent and I have been informed that the course will be over before midnight both days giving me a reasonable amount of time to get home and go to sleep before work on Monday.

    I have all the money invested in weapons, and weapon lights the cost of getting quality training is small in comparison.

    I would love to go to a class like this, but I can't spare 2 nights in a row. Wish there was just the pistol training in one night.

    I can only make the Saturday class. Unless they changed it, it was set to be pistol on Saturday and Carbine on Sunday. No reason you cant just do a one day class.

    Freedive is correct. Saturday night is pistol only. Sunday is rifle and involves some pistol. You are more than welcome to come out for Saturday only. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

    Also, just to reiterate, guys and gals. Some of us use weapon mounted lights and some use hand-helds (at least we all should be using one or the other). How many opportunities do you get to do shooting in the dusk/ dark hours from the holster with movement. Even if you are a certified Elite Ninja Walrus, unless you own your own land or a buddy does, when do you get to do this type of shooting. Not to mention the world class instruction ;-)

    Class starts tomorrow guys. The pistol is filling up and carbine is a go. If the late hour on Sunday is a concern, we have discussed it and will have a working lunch/ dinner and shoot through. Should be out of there by 2300.

    We don't offer this class often, like our Precision Rifle, this has way more logistics involved and isn't easy to put on. If you're on the fence, jump off, you won't regret it. If you think you don't need Low Light, well I guess you live somewhere the sun never sets and I'm mad you haven't invited me :-)

    Thanks guys! I had a great time and learned a lot! As much as I hate mosquitoes, they added to the stress level and actually helped in my training!

    OK guys, I have now added Phobos to my list of classes of quality instruction and training. These guys are located on the South Shore so all you guys in that area have almost zero excuses. Spend some $ on the software instead of all the extra hardware!

    Yep, Nick is GTG!
    The wife and I took a private class with him a couple months ago. Nick succeeded teaching my wife in one day more than I had been able to teach her over a couple years! (Wives don't seem to take to instruction from their husbands. Go figure! ;))
