LOW-POWER VARIABLE OPTICS
(LPVOs)
Step onto the cutting edge of patrol optics and unlock the true potential of Low-Power Variable Optics (LPVOs). In this fast-paced, 8-hour experiential course, you’ll move beyond theory to hands-on mastery: zeroing precisely at 100 yds, and executing real-world engagement drills that blend split-second decision-making with rock-steady marksmanship. Every drill is built around officer-safety and de-escalation best practices—so you not only shoot straight, you think first. By day’s end, you’ll leave with the confidence, skills, and maintenance know-how to make your LPVO your most trusted partner on patrol.
You’ll be One With The Gun®.
Course Highlights
Hands-On Optic Mastery: Learn to mount, bore-sight, and zero your LPVO with precision
Real-World Engagement Drills: Execute progressive live-fire sequences that integrate split-second de-escalation decisions and threat-assessment cues.
Reticle Differences Explained: Decode MOA/MRAD subtensions for practical hold-over/hold-under applications in patrol scenarios.
Failure-Proof Troubleshooting: Diagnose and correct common optic malfunctions—mount creep, focus drift, zero-shift—using only standard duty tools.
Officer-Safety Focus: Every drill is built around SOP-compliant weapon manipulation, clearance checks, and verbal-command protocols.
Maintenance & Preventive Care: Develop a roll-call inspection routine and field-expedient maintenance plan to keep your LPVO battle-ready.
Confidence Under Pressure: Build muscle memory and decision-making frameworks to employ LPVOs instinctively—even in high-stress environments.
