This course begins with a 50 round course of fire, with the lights on, where the student must show proper and safe firearms fundamentals before we turn off the lights. This course will teach students proper low and no-light shooting techniques. Students will be shown different hand-held flashlight techniques as well as the benefits and disadvantages of weapons-mounted lights.

- A Handgun (with optional weapons-mounted flashlight)
- A strong side holster
- Sturdy belt if needed for holster
- 250 rounds of pistol ammo
- Hearing protection
- Eye protection
- Hand-held flashlight
- enough magazines to shoot 30-round strings
Location: Lawrence Park Rifle Club (1396 Nagle Road Erie, PA 16511)
If you are unable to get any of these items beforehand, or would like us to help you obtain these items for the class we would be happy to help! We have rental guns for you to use in class if needed. Let us know in advance so that we can work out details and pricing for those items. After you sign up you will be able to download a document with further instructions and location.
***Instructor's note: We highly suggest that you do not bring a .22 pistol to class; it hasn't provided the best experience for our students in the past. If you choose to bring a .22 and you encounter any problems you will be asked to finish the course with a firearm provided by LDI, for the remainder of the class, as well as purchase the remaining amount of ammunition required to finish the class. If you choose not to continue you will forfeit your class-no refund. If you are unsure of which firearm to purchase, please contact us for guidance based on your personal situation. We also offer Pistol Experience course which is a great opportunity to shoot multiple firearms before making a decision on what firearm you want to purchase.
