It had been a year or two for me since the last low light class with ACT. They have tweaked out the drills and, as always, refined the instruction. I have come away with things to work on.
First time for me running a weapon mounted light. My gun and lights ran well. Always further thought on the kind and amount of light I want to be throwing around with the hand held and weapon lights. Blinded myself and was blinded by others more than once.
First time in class using the Raven pocket clip with ring on the handheld. It's a keeper for sure.
Got an education on head lights also. My otherwise excellent headlight was not fitting for pitch black admin duties while trying to maintain night vision.
I shot pretty well overall. At the same time, lack of an adequate practice routine reared it's ugly head more that once. More time is needed with the gents at ACT, there is never a lack of learning to be done. I missed a BG in the house clearing drill, didn't finish the search.
Great to see familiar faces and a new gent that gave us a schooling on running his snub.
