Buying Expensive Gear Doesn't Make You Cool.  

 

Night Combat Optics is a dense, slow, detailed and technical training that builds upon what you have already learned in several prerequisite classes, to adapt daytime rifle optic knowledge to the dark, understand your equipment, and be able to zero and use it to it's limit of capability.

You can expect the pace of this class to be slow and methodical, as in the dark, your safety is more important than speed. We provide rifles, lasers, helmets, night vision, and thermal scopes. You do not need to bring your own in order to attend this class. If you have your own gear, you should bring it to learn about it.
