Course Overview
THE WIND STAGE
You cannot see the wind in the dark, but you still know where it is.
Level 0 showed you how to shoot with a light. Level 2 teaches you to fight with one: when to use it, when to kill it, and how to move between the two.
Low-Light Tactics covers how darkness changes the fight, how to run your light with the handgun, and how to use it for positive identification without giving your position away.
This is class 05 of 9 on the Handgun Level 2 roadmap. It puts Positive ID to work in the conditions where it is hardest.
