Speaking with Emu just a few minutes ago he asked that I start a separate thread regarding the Night Vision shoot at his range on January 23rd. Original thread was here- Original thread We will begin around 4pm and it should start getting dark around 5:30 that night. We have about a 4 hour drive back home so we would like to end it at roughly 10pm. Folks are welcome to bring their own night vision and thermal units or sample units we (JRH Enterprises) will bring specifically for that purpose. If you have an IR laser equipped rifle, bring it for use with the Night vision or if not we will have several loaner rifles there (ARs and AKs) and you are welcome to bring quality .223 or 7.62x39 and use our loaner rifles. No cost on our end for this. But we would like everyone to make a donation to the range. Emu has also graciously offered to cook food there at the range, so bring a $20. to donate to the range and a $10. for some good food at the range! Several folks asked in the original thread if we (JRH) could bring NV to sell there at the range. As most of you know, Night vision and thermal like most gun related items have pretty long lead times right now. I would highly advise you shoot me an email with what you would like to purchase and if there is a chance we can get it in before the shoot and bring it we will. That doesn't mean waiting till 2 days before however  [email protected] If folks need help zeroing IR lasers, working with their personal NODs, etc. we would be glad to help as well. @billytehbob @Ettelbreck @PFran42 @porider @Cracker-MF @ThurstMyStoma @0627Devildog @Gahunter95 @YaBoyKGTho @Silverww @KavonTN @Last_Crusader @rustyboy @ATLGA @biometrician @D_J @YatzeeSquirrel @FNGfromGA @IHTFP08 If I missed anyone from the old thread my apologies.

@ihtfp08 Bring the dueling tree! I'll bring the boog blaster  Attached File |

As much as I'd love to own some night vision or especially some thermal gear it's not in my financial future. If I knew of a place close enough to me where I could hunt hogs at night I'd start savings pennies for a thermal scope but I don't have access to anywhere like that. Looks and sounds fun but Santa says I don't get to play these reindeer games. Hopefully someone takes some video and posts it on here

Quoted: Talking with Emu a bit, he said we could use 2 or 3 folks to volunteer as ROs to help during this event. Ideally this will be people that have NODs. Who can help out? In. I can help. I'll have a shot timer and bring my dueling tree. Additionally, I'll have a FP A2, reg power I2, and Maxim 9 if anyone wants to bring some 9mm ammo/loaded g17 mags to shoot. |

Quoted: Talking with Emu a bit, he said we could use 2 or 3 folks to volunteer as ROs to help during this event. Ideally this will be people that have NODs. Who can help out? Down. Emu is like my second home and I want nothing more than for these events to continue safely. |

Quoted: I'm a solid MAYBE. Depends on work volume. Have PVS15 and full power Laaaazzers and wiling to share if I can make it. I'll just pick up them 15s and laaaaaazzers so you can be there in spirit if you can't make it  But yeah, come out dude. I'm glad to read you found new employment!

Quoted: Will anyone be shooting non infrared laser/light equipped guns? I have a light/laser on one of my AR's and on my Beretta 92 but have never shot either in the dark. I don't have a problem with that, but I'm going to let Lowdown give the final answer, because I don't know how that will impact the night vision stuff.... |

Quoted: Thanks, if we make it we won't shoot them much. I'm just curious to see how well it works. So no more than a single mag each. Hopefully you'll realize night sights on pistols are pretty lame (mounted lights and red dots are better), and the limits of your rifle light and the value of a good one. |

I came to the conclusion a long time ago that night sights have big limits. Generally if it's dark enough for night sights you really need a white light. There's really just a small window of light vs dark where they shine (no pun intended). What I'm referring to is my AR that I have a Crimson Trace MVF-515 light/laser mounted. There are much smaller and lighter options available now but it was the cats meow years ago and still works great so I've never replaced it. Plus it cost so much at the time I have a hard time even considering replacing it lol. The Beretta I was talking about has a Surefire X400 light/laser. Neither has night sights although I do own a few guns with them. |
