LMS Defense
Practical NVG
This course is designed for the novice to intermediate NVG owner/operator with experience using both a carbine and handgun. Upon completion of the course the student will have an understanding of how night vision devices and multi-function aiming lasers (MFAL) operate as well as laser eye safety procedures and the differences in capability between commercial and restricted power MFAL’s.
Students will learn to set up and properly maintain their night vision equipment, zero the MFAL and learn weapons handling skills specific to working in a no light environment. Due to the unique layout of “The Ranch” students will engage targets from contact to 100+ yards in both exterior and interior environments. A significant focus will be placed on movement, target identification, problem solving in a no light environment and transition to white light. This course will have students walking on varied terrain in darkness, although portions of the class will take place on a flat range much of the course will take place in natural conditions. Students attending the course should be in good physical condition and able to walk short distances uphill, downhill and side hill.
