About the Course

Night Vision 1.5 is an intermediate level training program designed for shooters who have already established a solid foundation in rifle and pistol fundamentals and are looking to expand their capabilities in a low light environment.

Throughout this course, students will receive accelerated instruction on night vision fundamentals, equipment applications, and weapon manipulations before progressing into increasingly challenging shooting exercises. Emphasis will be placed on developing efficiency, consistency, and confidence while operating firearms under night vision.

As the course progresses, students will be introduced to more demanding exercises involving movement, transitions, positional shooting, and multiple target engagements. The curriculum is designed to reinforce established fundamentals while challenging students to apply their skills under increasingly complex conditions.

Whether you're an experienced daytime shooter transitioning into night vision or an existing night vision user looking to refine your abilities, this course offers a balance of essential instruction and intermediate level challenges.

Please Note: This course is conducted at an accelerated pace. While previous night vision experience is not required, students are expected to arrive with an established foundation in rifle and pistol fundamentals.
