Level 3 - Counter Active Shooter - Pistol Night: Jacksonville Beach, FL 11/04/2023 17:00

Simply put, bad things happen at night. Counter Active Shooter (Pistol-Night) will teach you how to be as effective and confident in shooting at night as in daylight. Our Cadre will instruct you on the tactics and techniques of night shooting in order to bring you to a level of shooting where you are more comfortable and confident with your firearm in a low-light or no-light situation. You will learn low-light/no-light strategies that will better equip you to react to an overt act of violence, along with basic movement and search techniques at night. All firing drills are based on real world scenarios and designed to fire at various distances, various positions, and single-shot or rapid-fire engagement.

Counter Active Shooter (Pistol-Night) is an advanced pistol combat course and is not recommended for beginners. We recommend the Basic Pistol and Counter Active Shooter Pistol courses prior to Counter Active Shooter (Pistol-Night) if you are a beginner.

Participants who complete this course with Cadre Machine will be eligible for a Florida concealed weapons permit. These permits are valid for a term of 7 years in 36 states.

Due to the space and safety requirements needed to conduct these events the ranges may be up to a two hour drive from the city listed. Please keep this in mind when making lodging arrangements.

All GORUCK Firearms Courses and Events utilize scenario based training which is incorporated into dry practice prior to any live fire. All participants will practice target identification and discrimination, movement, weapons manipulation, and other dynamic drills with the cadre and others.
