1.2.2. B-rdy Lowlight & Dark Conditions with a Rifle

B-rdy Lowlight & Dark Conditions with a Rifle is an advanced course intended for the LE/MIL and self-defense use in low light conditions, most often in twilight and darkness.

The course will guide students through the possibilities of using low light conditions to gain a tactical advantage. The course has 2 lessons focusing on shooting and handling the weapon in the lowlight conditions, including FX scenarios. First lesson is about basics of using the mounted flashlight on a rifle in a dark. Second lesson is about specifics of the teamwork in a dark conditions.

The course is based on our own methodology combining basic techniques extended by a range of practical knowledge focused on the use of flashlights in EDC and service environments. We have also reflected a number of scenarios from real self-defense situations and operations undertaken in the dark in the course, including lessons learned from our night vision courses. The course assumes that students have the same level of skills as graduates of the B-rdy Rifle Handling System.

The entire course is conducted in the spirit of the B-rdy Performance Oriented approach, which means we focus not only on technique execution, but also on the ability to shoot effectively in low light conditions.
