Low Light training.
In every class I have taken, one evening, for a couple hours, we did some low light shooting and lecture. In other words, it was basically glossed over. I would like to take a five day class that is conducted entirelly in low light. Instead of just being a novelty, you would get serious training with some chance of developing some muscle memory etc. This could be as simple as a regular class conducted at night. Those of us that are gear junkies buy the cool Surefire dedicated weapons light and the cool flashlights so that we can use them for a couple hours.
Tactical Senarios/Simunitions/Simulators (whatever you want to call them). In every class I have taken, a very brief discussion of tactics and techniques have been discussed and a little bit of time is spent during actually hands on work. In every case, it seemed to me that I was basically sent into the senario without much knowlege or training and then after the fact what I did was discussed. For some of the student's, this stuff is something they do everyday: they are police or law enforcement. I have no knowledge of this stuff and usually fail miserably. Also, the senarios are sort of a cross between a law enforcement senario and a private citizen senario. I don't know what to do. Why not have a class like this designed strictly for the private citizen: Glass breaking in the middle of the night, arriving home to find your front door ajar, being robbed at an ATM machine etc. With instruction on the appropriate legalities etc. No shooting on the square range, just tactical senarios carefully discussed. Few situations where there are five bad guys in your house........................realistic situations for the private armed citizen.
