Tactics & Firearms Training Since 2007

Lighthorse Tactical, LLC is a training company focused on the legal application of tactics, techniques, and procedures. The proper application of these “TTP’s” is based on the user’s own daily world. What works for a SWAT Team on a hostage situation may not be applicable for a Citizen in a parking deck. Our training is based on relevance and realism.

    Savage Labs is a quarterly "lab" event that will test skills in various categories: live fire, FoFEx, low-light, medical, vehicle-based, exterior engagements, CQB, carbine, pistol and fitness. Each lab will be different & incorporate different skills. 

    As the name implies, each "lab" will be “difficult in nature“ & requirements. 

    Each will be short in duration- a drag race of sorts- & will have scoring standards to measure performance. 

    Attendees should examine their level of skill and fitness prior to registering for a session.

    Gear Information

    Attendees must provide their own equipment as outlined in the event’s description.  In certain events, unusual loaner gear will be available. Methods of carry (open or concealed) will be noted as required by the stage*. 

    *Lighthorse Tactical, LLC reserves the right to limit attendees to methods of carry based, gear, etc. on the stage and/or the attendee’s level of training/performance.

    Handguns- handgun stages are designed for standard pistol calibers (9mm, .45, .40, .38, etc.) fired from standard pistols (no carbine patterned handguns). This is due to targets and the stage layout.

    Carbines- 5.56mm/.223 or pistol caliber carbines only. This is due to targets and the stage layout.

    Shotguns- Only the ammo type prescribed in the stage description (slug, buck, etc.) will be allowed. We will have a loaner Mossberg 590 for attendees that need it.

    Other equipment (FoFEx, medical, melee, etc.) will be described in the stage description. Loaners will be made available.
