Resident or Non Hosted Courses

TSG-410 or TSG-440

Tactical Services Group Low-Light courses are unique in content and presentation. They offer the student the latest in research, theory, and practical application methods. These courses are the result of years of industry and personal research on this very critical issue. My passion for all aspects of operating in the Low-Light environment has led to the development of these two courses (TSG-410 & TSG-440) and my new book “Rule the Night - Win the Fight” A Practical Guide to Low-Light Gunfighting.

Low-Light Individual/Operator Course TSG-410
This course is open to Law Enforcement, Armed Professionals and students in possession of a concealed carry permit. Proof of affiliation will be required at time of registration.

Classroom, Live fire exercises and force on force shooting scenarios will challenge the student under high stress low light conditions.
