TNVC recently completed our first Nightfighter 201 of 2023 this past weekend at Badlands Tactical in Grandfield, OK. We had a healthy mix of military, law enforcement, industry, and civilians in the class. All were extremely switched on, which made for a very high class tempo and everything exceeded expectations. We ran this class concurrently with a NF101 course over the same weekend.
Bobby at Badlands is an amazing host. The facilities are superb for our training requirements for this class, and we can do everything we want to do, and more, at this venue. We enjoy being at this venue, and Badlands is a place we will continue to train at for a long time. Weather was not too shabby. Highs in the 70s, lows in the 50s. It rained pretty good the night prior the class—it was a little muddy—but all in all, we could not complain at all about the weather. We saw a wide spread of night vision devices and student experience in class. We had everything from green phosphor PVS-14s to GPNVGs and all performed well. The class had many NF101 graduates in it, and most of their gear was good to go—shaken out during the previous classes and prior to this one. Weapons reliability was above average for this class. Not a single malfunction—live ammo or UTM, that I knew of. We were able to squeeze a few more training repetitions in due to the fast pace of the course and student performance. That was fun to do, and we were glad to be able to accomplish our training objectives, and more, with this class. This is a true level 2 course—our pre-requisites are important to make sure that everyone gets the most out of the class. It also allows for a “baseline” for expected performance, and we can really get going quickly after the class starts. Additionally, several companies stepped up to offer students swag and door prizes for their attendance. We really appreciate their generosity and are proud to have them associated with our classes.

It was a great class, guys!
Directly after the safety brief on night one the instructors asked if anyone needed to check the zeroes on their lasers and everyone had showed up prepared so we got right to it! That turned out to be the theme throughout the weekend. Everyone from armed professionals to civilians to the overpaid redneck in the group(myself) showed up ready to go every night and every drill. I liked that 201 didn’t spend much time at all trying to review 101 lessons. 201 just jumped right into progressing through new info and lessons. If you took 101 as a civilian like myself and wonder if you need or want to take 201 I’d emphatically say you definitely need and want to take 201. If there was a NF301 that further built on 201 lessons I’d already be enrolled. Congrats to putting together a great class, TNVC instructors! Furthermore, I can NOT thank you all enough for allowing this opportunity to every responsible and concerned citizen who look for opportunities like this one. Thank you, again! (Btw this isn’t my first post on arfcom, I couldn’t get my old account to log in so I just made a new one) |

I will say this is one of the best classes I have taken. I am prior LE, competitive shooter, and have been in the firearms industry as a dealer for 15 years. The instructors for TNVC make the class what it is. I can’t give their guys enough praise. They have a pretty small staff compared to some places, but it’s because they have found some of the best instructors in the world to teach these classes. I have sent several employees though their classes and all of them have had the same positive comments about the instruction.
The facilities TNVC pick to host these classes are also top notch. Badlands in Grandfield, OK offers some of the best training in the country on other topics not covered by TNVC. I have taken classes from Badlands also and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for other classes non-night vision related. So as one could imagine, the two of these combined, (Badlands and TNVC) make for some of the best training in the world. Night Fighter 201 definitely makes you think and is not all about shooting. This was exactly what I was hoping for. I can go to the range and shoot anytime I want. This course makes you think and use whatever gear you have to accomplish the scenario. I hope TNVC will continue the series and expand on this Night Fighter collection of training. If they do, I am certain I will be there. When another world class instructor joins the class as a student, you know your instructors are solid. Big shout out to Bobby, Bill, Chip, and Joe for the awesome weekend. Stay safe. - Josh |
