SUMMARY:Night Vision Class 16MAR24
DESCRIPTION:For the past 20 years of war in the middle east\, a generation of Americans have grown up seeing night vision prominently featured in movies\, video games\, and in the news. “We own the night” proclaimed military strategists and soldiers alike. It was our special American super power\, to see in the dark\, when the adversary could not. Now\, with increasing popularity and availability in the private sector\, more and more everyday citizens are finding night vision to be affordable and accessible\, and are adding night vision capability to their personal equipment.  \nWhat is the capability of modern night vision? How much does it cost? What would I need to buy? What is junk to avoid? What is nice but unnecessary and expensive? What is lightweight\, reliable and durable that I can afford? How far can I see with night vision? How can I aim my rifle or pistol when using night vision? How do I set it up\, focus it\, and use it for navigating in the dark?  \nTogether in Introduction to Night Vision we will answer all of these questions\, and more! Learn how to maximize the strengths of night vision\, while mitigating and overcoming it’s shortcomings. Gather tips and best practices on zeroing infrared lasers\, shooting in the dark\, and night time movement.   \nThe school has limited sets of loaner night vision equipment\, and they are free to borrow.
