TNVC recently completed another Nightfighter 101 class at the Pro Gun Club in Boulder City, NV.  The facilities are great and the ranges work well for our class objectives.  In fact, we were able to conduct a Night Fighter 201 at the facility at the same time and never had the two classes conflict with each other.   This is another staple location for us, and we will continue to train here for the foreseeable future.



The weather was unusually warm with highs in the 90s and only going down to about 70 overnight.  The dry environment can take its toll on students and equipment alike, but the students kept themselves hydrated and their weapons lubricated resulting in productive training on both nights.   Dust at times challenged the goggles and their ability to work, but nothing too bad.



The class was unique in that it did not have any active law enforcement or military personnel and was composed entirely of some very “switched on” civilians.   They kept each other motivated during the training and accomplished all the training objectives.  

There were practically no equipment issues during the class.  The wide variety of night vision devices and lasers performed well.   We had a rifle go down during the last exercise on night 2 but it received a healthy dose of lube and was back up and running in time for the student to complete the drill.



Fighter 101 is the first step into becoming someone who is “confident, competent, and capable” in the use of night vision technology and leads directly into our Night Fighter 201, where we continue to expand on the principles learned in Night Fighter 101.  Now that the students understand the skills, 201 allows the students to practice the application of those skills.



Watch for the 2024 TNVC Training schedule to be announced soon.



Additionally, several companies generously stepped up to offer students swag and such for their attendance.  We really appreciate their generosity and are proud to have them associated with our classes.
