Nightfighter Essentials

from $300.00

Night Fighter Essentials is a "Low-Light" night shooting fundamentals course. Focusing heavily on the usage of night vision, white light users are welcome and white lights are a required kit item for all shooters.

Due to recent firearms bans, course content will be adjusted to allow for pistol only, or unorthodox rifle platforms like rimfire or lever action. Pistol shooters must have a red dot sight, and/or an iris device on their NODs.

Duration: 8 Hours (includes daytime safety check)

Skill Level: Due to the increased risk of shooting in low light and no light conditions, prior formal “tactical” shooting training is required to attend this course. Night shooting is not a beginner or basic level skill, and requires a base level of training to ensure everyone’s safety.
If you do not meet this prerequisite, please reach out to discuss your current experience and we can arrange a workup session to allow you to attend.

Don’t currently own night vision? We have loaner devices available from Cold Harbour Supply. Limited quantity available, subject to sufficient prereq experience.

Round Count: 400rds per platform minimum

Course details and cursory kit requirements below.
