One of the drills was steel at 100yds. 6 steel targets; white, orange, red, blue, green, and black. Most students could not see the steel at 100yds with their lights. Out of those that could find the steel, most could not tell the difference between orange/red, and blue/green/black. Those that could engage accurately with their lights, did so. Those that couldn’t had their illumination supplemented.

We moved forward in 20-25yd increments, until everyone was able to ID and engage unaided.

Ran my Cloud Owl against a Modlite OKW at 100yds +. The Modlite had a brighter “hot spot” in the center, but both illuminated well enough to ID colors and shapes. Next time out, I’m going to bring some “shoot-no shoot” targets and see if there is a difference between the two lights’ ability to ID items held in the hand; gun, cell phone, camera, etc.

Next time I'll bring 2 rifles one OKW and one PLHv2 for comparison on "shoot-no shoot". Hopefully, I'll get my accuracy issues fixed by then too. I couldn't hit **** at 100yds and am embarrassed. Did fine as we moved in closer.

Accuracy does tend to increase proportionally as distance decreases!

You mean the modlite didn’t make it look like daylight outside this time?

It was bright! The throw and spread was similar between the Modlite and the OWL, with the Modlite having a brighter spot in the center.

Folks should take advantage of these courses. I notice at my range, few shooters are moving around anymore. Mostly sitting , some standing. We have the area to shoot and move buy it isn't taken advantage of. There are many reasons folks don't train this way, it's their business. But it is a good way to know your limitations.
