Unfortunately the local range here in NorCal doesn't hold night shoots any longer. LMS defence is the only option for local training. Maybe Your Jefa aka "Vic" should follow your lead to help grow the community with monthly night shoots which I'd be more than willing to attend in SoCal.

This is exactly Why I started organizing FNFC here in North East FL once a month. Theres always at least a dozen or more attendees.

Having 12 sets of NVG's and MAWLS to rent for only $25 a session is a great way to get folks interseted in NV and "build" our community with good folks doing cool hood rat shit.

There are opportunities to shoot at nite in SoCal, Deadwood boys (Piru) nite shoot every month from Sept to April, There's a group of NorCal guys that show up to match. you have to register to practiscore.com, under Night operator, then there's private ranges or public (gotta know someone...) that allow nite shooting in SoCal.

Also there Aztec Training services hosting Greenline Tactical coming down to SoCal for 3 day LEO nightfighter class in Sept., maybe they can squeeze you in? (Sam you going to Sept Class?) Also Don and Sam were here in March for Nightfighter 1.

Wondering if TNVC will host a class in CA.

Greenline Tactical just conducted a class in March in CA, I teach with Don as his A.I. and Teddy our warehouse manager was there helping us. It was in Burro Canyon if I recall correctly.
But that class is restricted to Credentialed LEO's only. I will most likely be in Texas doing so mil training for a few months so i wont be there.

Hope to have an update and reach out to those interested this weekend. Believe I have found a perfect range to host, just have to meet later this week to confirm. As of now planning on a date in Sept, Oct and Nov to round out the year.

If you're looking at ARO or Southington and need some boots on the ground let me know, have a friend or two who go there a lot and know who runs them for the 3 gun matches and such they do there who might be able to help with contacts.

Just gauging to see what interest there might be in forming a group and venue for night vision users in the N.E. Ohio area? Nothing at all too high speed but both low light and NV weapon drills, movement, transitions and some other cool things to help all of us up our game. No formal taught or hosted classes but more about providing a venue and location for like minded and equipped individuals to use their NV gear to its full advantage.

I currently have two locations near Akron/Canton in mind that would be available to host. Once or twice a month, Saturdays, beginning maybe in September and running through November based on interest. There would probably be a small range fee and planning is in the beginning stage and can evolve based on interest and desire.

I am aware of a group in SW PA that I believe does something similar that gets pretty good attendance.

There might be a small vetting process as well but nothing that should have anyone interested concerned.

Interested parties please reply or feel free to PM

There are a lot of nice ranges in that area. You could also check out greenhorn tactical association to see if they'd be interested in hosting. They use a private 200yd range with pistol bays and a shoothouse

GreenPORT not greenhorn

ARO is no longer, has been dead for about two years, its now DSS. Im a member at both Greenport and DSS so very familiar. They are great ranges but not ideally suited for night ops and what we would like to be able to achieve.

@ MrjonesandMe yes sir. You will have a great class, Chip is an excellent instructor and all around great guy. After TNVC Nightfighter make sure to put Armed Professional on your list especially hosted at Alliance.

If you haven't already attended, make sure to add the APD Shoot House Class taught by Joe as well. It will serve you well in Armed Professional and is honestly one of the best classes they offer there.

I definitely plan to attend the Armed professional class at some point.

I’ll add the shoot house class to my list as well. I’ll be permanently in Cleveland in a few years, so it’s going to be nice having this facility just little drive down the road.

Not true. Buy a busted tube that isn't too busted off the EE, send it to me I'll make sure it works, buy a used housing and profit. Nods for under 1k (or as low as 500-600 depending on the deal you get for the tube)

Email received and sent back, how is this going to be set up? One static event at a time a couple ranges with different events or some
all inclusion pistol rifle dynamic/maneuver lane? I imagine something like a 3-gun or uspsa rifle stage but thats probably just me. Theres a lot of variables to account for when shooting let alone turning
off the lights.

For sure to start there will be a square range block that transitions from daylight, low light and then to DARK. White light, NVGs/IR and Passive work. Shooting on the move. While many of those interested have some time under NODs many seem to have the gear but lack the actual trigger time and experience so we will quickly try a walk, crawl approach. YES I left the word run out on purpose. The goal is to keep the group engaged and not to have guys standing around but we will have all different levels of shooters and safety is an absolute must have!

There will be some more active or dynamic scenarios that will show the ability of NODs and their limitations in different environments. Your spot on with the "variables to account for" and I need to make sure we dont burn guys out after being in their kit and NODs for hours as I would like to stay dark once we get there. Most dont have full super ninja night fighting pistols either so trying to work through that once we get off the square range. Your vision is somewhat correct but I hate the words 3-gun and USPSA because that means timer goes BEEP, safety comes off and then run and gun chaos which at night time is NO BUENO! Rest assured no timers will be involved as NODs offer stealth and stealth offers security at a much slower tempo.

We are finalizing a lot of details and will have an updated email out early next week.

There are a couple fairy priced (sub $700) CQBL, on the EE not mine. I have one on a PCC and love it. I have an OTAL-C I may let go of probably one of the cheapest options available that still allow saving for a MAWL downfall is it’s not as easy to zero as one with a slaves vis.

Seeing your about to spend thousands of dollars my suggestion would be to take the TNVC Nightfighter 101 training class and rent equipment. Not only will you come away with a much better understanding of what equipment options there are you will actual know how to use what ever you may purchase and actually understand the technology and its limitations if they exist.

That's what I did and have no regrets at all as it made me an informed first time buyer. Based on what you will learn it's definitely worth the price of admission.

I believe they a class in NE Ohio near the end of October.

View Quote

While they may not have one of everything from their store on hand for demos, there's almost always at least a few thermal devices there to mess with, and 2-3 staffmembers with a mountain of knowledge between them to steer you in the right direction. If your primary focus is thermal rather than image intensifiers, reaching out to their sister company Night Goggles may be a good idea. I see TNVC as more of the fighting at night sorta crew (NV heavy, with the occasional thermal discussion leaning towards mil-style equipment) and NG as the killing critters at night crew (thermal heavy with experience with all the rifle-mounted and handheld civilian options).
