Sounds like fun. I will try to make it.

 

[Coach]

It will be fun. It will be also useful trigger time.

 

[downrange72]

I'm going to try. End of month

May be a fun match to attend.

I love the idea of low light shooting, BUT personally (just my two cents here) I'd like to work on shooting with night sights. Have you given any thought to low level backlighting the silhouettes and adding an additional category for night sights (no flashlight). There are a lot of manufacturers now that are selling their weapons with night sights and it's a little more "realistic" as training for carry. As I said, just my two cents...

More realistic because crime and criminal attacks do not happen in conditions where a flashlight is necessary?

I'm going for sure! Got my light ready and holster is in the mail!

 

[Barry]

Sorry, should have said more realistic for me. I don't carry a flashlight everywhere I go ecept for a little utility one on my keychain. I do carry a weapon almost all the time and doubt very much that I'd be able to get that little light out and end up with it being useful. That's why I put night sights on. I've got a SureFire that I grab when I can't find the horses, and suppose I can bring it

The low light shoot will likely teach folks about low light and dark conditions. If you have not shot in the low light or dark it changes things. If you carry a gun a light is real good idea. Being able to identify a threat is a necessity in order to justify shooting. A hand held light pretty much means strong hand shooting and how many people practice that?

 

[Barry]

I'm sorry I asked

 

[Coach]

Less than a week from this match.

 

[Cameramonkey]

I'm sorry I asked

Dont be Barry. Its how we learn. I carry one of these EVERYWHERE, clipped to my pocket like most guys carry a folder. Its not a 600 Lumen Sure Fire, but its better than nothing and small enough I dont have the excuse not to carry it. (its literally the size of 1 1/2 AA batteries.

If I wasnt going to see Coach the following weekend, I would be there. (Too much time away from the family) I am interested to put my little light to the test.

ETA: I may at least ask for a kitchen pass if my work schedule isnt too crazy between now and then.

Exactly! Always something new to learn.
I'm tempted to ask to come watch, simply to evaluate flashlights. Because I don't have have one. Hoping this class continues so I can take it in the future when I do get one.

Oops my apologies. I didn't see this was in shooting sports.

Hah! No need to apologize to me ... just didn't want you to go expecting one thing and getting another! See, rhino is a helper.

 

[Coach]

Getting Close. Hope to see you all here for the match.
