RDS Low Light Applications Course

RDS low-light firearms training is a specialized training program that focuses on using red dot optics on firearms in low-light or nighttime conditions. Red dot sights are optical aiming devices that project an illuminated red dot onto a lens, aiding shooters in acquiring and engaging targets quickly and accurately. Civilian gun owners who use red dot optics on their firearms and anticipate using them in low-light scenarios should attend this class. Low light shooting with RDS significantly differs from daylight shooting due to reduced lighting, the optical aiming device being washed out, the complexity of shooting techniques, and target identification. In this 3-hour fast-paced class, students will learn various deployment methods for low-light situations.

This is not a beginner’s RDS class. Students should have completed RDS Practical or Defensive Handgun 3 or higher.
