FBTG Presents: Night Vision 101

Our Night Vision Fundamentals course focuses on gaining a fundamental understanding of night vision and enhancing individuals’ skill sets with rifles and pistols under Night Vision Goggles (NVGs).

The class begins with an exploration of the psychological benefits of employing NVGs. It then dives into industry standards for gear selection and setup. This class equips students with the tools needed to safely and effectively move and shoot, in low-light or no-light environments.

Students will engage in a “simple is good” approach, progressing through crawl, walk, run phases while mastering equipment utilization. By the end of the course, students will have advanced through various movement and live-fire shooting exercises, aiming to develop core competency with night vision goggles and lasers. Upon course completion, students will possess a clear understanding of performing in low-light environments.

NVG Rentals are available at no additional cost.
