TNVC recently completed our first Nightfighter 101 class hosted by the Cascade County Sheriff’s Office and Great Falls Police Department in Great Falls, MT from 3-4 October 2020. This was a sold-out class, and we really enjoyed having that many students. The class was evenly mixed between civilians and law enforcement officers. We did have several drops the week leading up to the class; however this did not affect the running of the class. We were very excited to get into this part of the country, in this time of the year. Both departments were excellent hosts, and based on the success of the class, we plan to be back here next year for both Nightfighter 101 and Armed Professional.  The weather was AMAZING. Highs in the 70s, and lows in the 50s. It does not get better than this. Montana put on a great show for us for sure weather-wise. We did have a sprinkle on night 2, but it would not be a TNVC class if we did not get something...  This was another rental heavy class for us. 6 sets of goggles and associated equipment. This was planned early to support the local law enforcement office's interests in night vision. And TNVC’s policy is that you can use that rental fee towards purchase of similar equipment. So, if you want to go to a class and you do not have the equipment, no worries. We have limited amounts, so if you are interested in doing that for a class, sign up early.  We saw a wide spread of night vision devices in this class. Everything from green PVS14s to white phos DTNVGs. No student complained of being under-equipped, we were able to complete all the drills with little difficulty.  There were surprisingly little difficulties with guns and gear in this class. VERY suppressor heavy too--I think all but one student ran a can. Makes for enjoyable nights of shooting for sure.  Accuracy exceeded expectations for this class. Students shot very well, and it only got better as the class progressed. Switched on students paying attention to their offsets and making good hits make all the difference in accuracy.  This was our last Nightfighter 101 class for 202 and we have one more Armed Professional class too. The full classes are nice to see and a blast to teach. We are working on the 2021 calendar, and you can expect to see more classes in some new locations. Stay tuned! We cannot say enough about the hosts--they put on a great effort to make the class successful and we are grateful for their hard work. Thank you Jason and Matt!  Additionally, several companies 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.
