looking for people and places to shoot under nods, white light, practice shooting etc. any leads would be great thanks.

posting in here to follow, very interested in this as well. I imagine there is massive liability with insurwance coverage that will make this a big no go at most public ranges

just did some research Kinetic Consulting is doing an NVG class somewhere in muncie, the host range isnt listed tho

* edit found it

July 30-31 - Weaponized Geometry - Muncie, IN

I believe the nvg portion of the class is sim force on force

That's what I took from his link too, that looked very interesting until you got to the details, I didn't even see NV mentioned in his link but could've missed it. Our dearly departed shooter was probably trying very hard to come up with a quality looking post.
It would be great if true, and I hope something pops up in this thread, but I won't hold my breath. That's pretty high end training I would imagine.

If you're on Facebook, check out Indiana Night Vision Network for like minded individuals.

Hoosier National forest would be your best bet to do your own thing in Indiana. Manistee National Forest in Michigan also allows target shooting.

There was a group that got together and shot in a quarry over in Ohio.
Team tactics, IR illuminators…
Too rich for my blood but I checked out one of the guys gear at a low light shoot, NVG white phosphorus with thermal overlay. He described it best when he said it was like having a superpower.
That was two years ago so maybe it still goes on idk.

An organized group of individuals is basically what I’m trying to find, however my preferred location is Indiana

The sound from the Splinter Cell Games has me wanting nods more than the ability to see in the dark. I know that they don’t make that sound and that was Hollywood mumbojumbo, but still.

The Legion 9/11 Run-n-Gun event is adding two more competition classes this year. A night trail run with shooting! NV only & White Light. Both are 5k with 5 (I think) shooting stages.

Look for the event page on Facebook or hit me up closer to August for registration info. I'll be there as an RSO.

Bump. We're about a month out from sign-up.

I'm going to help as an RO + do some drone video. I'll be in the night white light 5k group. I'm putting together kit but don't think I'll be ready in time for NVG.

random question, if you had the ability to rent a set of pvs14 or nvg40 would you along with a dbal?

 

[Hop]

I think the problem with renting equipment (for me) might be it takes time to get somewhere and zero in the dbal. If the dbal was a dual collimated visible/IR laser, things would be much easier.

Would you rent out a helmet and mounts for a PVS14 too?

I'm assembling a Sionix Aurora Pro camera kit. I still need a helmet and illuminator. It ain't no PVS14 for sure but should do OK.
