[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Night Vision Operators Course? (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 1/8/2014 4:58:42 PM EDT
| I am still mad I missed out on the last one in S TX, so I'm wondering if ya'll have anything planned on coming back this way this year? |

I believe I have a line on a range that will allow night shooting too. I'll update ya'll as it goes along. Would weekend or week days work better for ya'll? Weekend. Preferably before June before all the punks get out of school. Thats when i start working 6-7 days a week until October. |

Red back one had one posted a month or so ago that was going to be held in CA in April that I was going to put in for. But now it's gone from their site... They are LE only. I tried to see if he would change that view several times and he say he couldn't stomach the idea of teaching it to non-LE/MIL. |

Don't get me wrong his carbine course is one of the best but he does fall on the list of instructors with LE only classes.
As per Telluric Group I think they have always teamed up with TNVC for the classes and may be mobile now. As for the distance flying in and out of there was simple and the training facility is across the street from several hotels making training good year around. I would imagine if you don't go there you would be missing out on extra material such as structure movement, obstacle course, and possible the shoot portion. |

Mind giving a general rundown of the class? Quoted:

I'd go again if in Texas. I was at the last one and it was too much fun!  Mind giving a general rundown of the class? Here are some after action reports on the last one. It was a good time with good folks. Lots of learning occurred. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_9_19/231826_AAR_TNVC_Night_Vision_Defender_Victoria_TX_5_18_19_2012.html |

Kyle recommended them as well outside of his training. Even though it sounds like a really good course, its hard for me to get that far away from work. I take that back. It wouldnt be hard for me if i would actually get that break and slow down they have been promising me for the last 3 years. |

I spoke with Eric at TNVC and he is willing to work with me on putting a class together. I am going to work on securing a range and then I will try to lay down some dates. Stay tuned. Quoted:

Any word doc? I spoke with Eric at TNVC and he is willing to work with me on putting a class together. I am going to work on securing a range and then I will try to lay down some dates. Stay tuned. Very good. I have a medical seminar March29-30 and sure as shit it will be then. |
), I may be in

I've trained many times at Telluric group.
The facility is second to none as far as NVG training is concerned. I've taken both the Nightvision operator and the Nightvision Defender class from them and Eric Butler and Kyle Harth were even in attendance shooting and doing some training! by training Eric shot me in the hand with a UTM sim round that hurt like a mofo. 
Yes for some of y'all it's a hike but well worth it. |

Just sayin, the municipal range here in las cruces, nm allows night shooting. And if it was local I'm sure we could get a few slots filled from our swat guys. We also have a U.S. Shooting academy instructor on staff here, very knowledgeable. Unfortunately that is nowhere near central Texas.

I've exhausted all the ranges I have access to be able to do night shooting at. The only other option I have on the table is a military installation but I don't believe they will allow any civilians and it would be much more involved with my agency to get it going.
Kinda given up. I believe Green Eye Tactical is doing one in College Station coming up. |

I'm going to get in touch with Eric and see what his thoughts are. No details as of yet. First the range. Second the dates. Third the class.... then comes the tough part. How about we not make this thing in the middle of August? Beggars cant be choosy but i truly do hate the heat. |
