Low Light and Night Vision Course Description
**This course does NOT require Night Vision (Optional).**

The Restricted Visibility Elements Theory course is an advanced course focusing on the development of operational, technical and sustainment skills in high risk low light/no light environments. Throughout the class, shooters will be driven to utilize hand held and weapon mounted lights for both primary and secondary weapons.

Cost: $765. Price will be shown in cart.
