The Armasight Spark is the only way I've been able to get friends to purchase NV. They're more interested in having a safe full of guns rather than purchasing gen 3. Even when comparing them back to back it's still a tough pill to swallow money wise for just a hobby.

Sounds like there needs to be a men seeking men with night vision thread. I'm in snohomish WA and have a little spot for coyotes at night but none of my buddies have got anything yet. I'm trying to work a trade for my hk94 for another pvs14 and laser so I have a loaner but the guys being a flake. Next week I'm getting moved to first shift from 3rd so night hunting will be a little harder on the weekends.

Do you have crabmeat and model trains?  

I will I'll admit it is definitely hard to find anyone with NODS to shoot with.  I haven't been in quite awhile myself due to work and life I must admit.  My neighborhood used to be crawling with coyotes but I have not heard them for sometime.  I think all the new development and construction chased them away and has eaten into my shooting spots.

TNVC is located in Jax. And in Oct we are putting on a NV shoot in St. Augustine in conjunction with a Greenline Tactical Combat carbine class. There will be some big names in the NV industry attending, Knights Armament, Surefire, BE Meyers, Daniel defense, FLIR and obviously us. All proceeds will be donated to the 1st Ranger Battalion Charity, Sua Sponte Foundation. Please check out www.greenlinetactical.com while you are at it if you like carbine training. Attendees of the class get in for free.

Where in had are you located? Also what's the cost of the NV shoot if not enrolled in the course?

Hell im in jax and had to fly home to my grandparents land to shoot at night. Learned without IR laser, it's better to just use a white light. I need to sell my NVec and get a pvs14. I'd be willing to drive an hour or two to shoot at night and camp out. Mini cola warrior anyone?

Too funny.

I would say you're lucky to find one guy local to do this kind of stuff with.  Extremely difficult to get any kind of group together.  But I think having a buddy team is the bare minimum to do this stuff safely.  Once buddy teams are formed, then next layer may be getting together with the next closest team.  And build from there.  Going for the big ho-down up front is a hard row to hoe.

I can get free virtually any night after my daughter goes to bed . I believe @SOT_Solutions wants to play too.

This weekend?  Next weekend?  Weekdays?  Guns?  No guns at first since we don't know each other? Or just bring lots of body armor? Lol

I have been able to find a few local guys in the MD area who are set up quite well. And have several others selling everything they can and saving every penny to start playing. I know I chose to go the opposite route of what was mentioned earlier: I emptied the safe of superfluous firearms and am now capable for the other 1/2 of my life...the time when the wife and kids are asleep, getting out isn't much of an issue and critters are moving around.
A plus of MD, and I was not thrilled about living here initially, is that, while deer hunting with rifles is highly regulated and not allowed in most of the state, predator hunting is not. Suppressed ARs, no mag limits, thermal or NV, all good...and cost $5 for a furbearer stamp. I think that is the sole cheap ticket in this game though.
All that said, if anyone out here wants to meet up, shoot me a PM. We can do non weapon related stuff if preferred: hiking, kayaking, etc. I have access to quite a few properties that we can shoot on, crop height allowing. Having cans really increases this access. I call during the season several nights a week...or more.
Also, if anyone is in the greater San Angelo, TX area and wants to trade some hunting time during October for some prime red fox hunting, please shoot me a PM; I'll be out there for 3 weeks or so...and I'd be willing to travel, especially on weekends.

I have another pvs14, helmet and a laser coming next week. Now that I'll have a loaner I can actually bring a buddy, and hopefully I can just get him to buy it.

Sausage, hell, I'm thinking night grilling!  As far as trust, more than others, less than some.  

Got my ATPIAL-C in and unless my phone camera is lying, I'm 99% sure it has the bar shaped beam people were bitching about.  Boy does that thing bring back memories.  ( I bought it to start training with on my rifle while I save for for some sick WP 14's.)
