Downrange Firearms Training - Friday 11/6

November 03, 2026 9:52 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

Rifle will be having a low light training course at the rifle range for carbines and pistols on Friday 11/6 starting at 5:30pm. There will be a short class at the range, and then live fire will begin. Cost of the session is $10. Instructors will be Will Munck, Marc French, and Joe Pastier. 

For the advanced class at the rifle range, you will need a carbine rifle with sling, a pistol with holster, and at least 150 rounds of ammo and spare magazines for both. You will also need either weapon mounted lights and/or a flashlight.

For the beginners, you will need a pistol, OWB holster, 150 rounds ammo, spare magazine, and either a pistol mounted light or a flashlight. We will move the beginners down to the pistol range for the live fire portion.

What We'll Cover - 

  • Range safety review
  • Legal and tactical considerations: target identification, awareness of your background, de-escalation options, and the moral obligations that come with use of force
  • Weapon-mounted lights: switch types, sympathetic reactions, safely mounting a light, and testing light modes
  • Using light well: backlighting, intermittent vs. continuous light, and avoiding over-saturating an area
  • Handheld flashlight techniques: Harries, Chapman, Ayoob, Rogers (SureFire), FBI, and Neck Index, including the pros and cons of each
  • Live-fire practice applying these techniques
What to Bring - 
  • Full duty belt or EDC belt and holster
  • Handheld flashlight
  • Eye and ear protection
  • Handgun and at least 3 magazines, mounted light optional
  • 150 rounds of handgun ammunition
