Night Combat Rifle 28JUN25
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 trying to be fast.
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 summer 2025 Combat Rifle Small Group Semi-Private Class Series. We schedule classes based upon the student’s schedule, with groups of 3-6 students at a time. This program consists of eight 5-hour modules. These 8 modules are:
- Combat Rifle Theory
- Basic Combat Rifle
- Combat Rifle Fundamentals
- Combat Rifle Optics
- Shoot Move Communicate
- Close Quarters Combat Rifle
- Night Combat Rifle
- Advanced Combat Rifle
