Night Vision Workshop

This workshop familiarizes students with the use of Night Observation Devices and IR pointer/illuminator systems. It is not intended to instruct students in the tactical employment of these devices, only to facilitate general familiarization, laser zero, and the opportunity to practice shooting and moving at night. This is a small format workshop which allows the flexibility to address specific student questions and equipment setup issues as they arise.

Suppressors are required, and available to rent from Tactically Custom, contact Nick S at tacticallycustom@gmail.com

Note: While this is only a basic workshop, this is not an entry level workshop. Students MUST have prior training and well rounded rifle skills to ensure the safety of the class during dynamic, high intensity drills under no light conditions. There is no time to remediate critical basic skills. Any student who demonstrates unsafe weapon handling will not be allowed to participate in the live fire portion of the workshop. There are no exceptions.
