Night Combat Rifle 18OCT25

Night Combat Rifle is a technical training which will provide the student with an introduction to night time operations, including the specialized equipment necessary for success, as well as the challenges and difficulties found in this environment. Our goal is for students to feel comfortable and at home in the dark, and confident with their equipment, such that they can begin to gain the tactical advantages of night time operations. 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 are welcome to bring and use it. 

This class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 49 unique five hour modules, plus additional practical and field exercises.
