Urban Rifle Night Vision 1

What You Will Learn

Thunder Ranch’s Urban Rifle Night Vision course is a staple offering that leverages our extensive experience with night vision systems. This course builds on your previous Urban Rifle training, teaching you to integrate those skills with night vision operations.

Over three days, you’ll learn to maximize your night vision system in conjunction with rifle use across various environments. The course utilizes the diverse terrain and exclusive features of Thunder Ranch, presenting new challenges in locating and engaging targets under night vision. Exercises cover both urban and rural settings, emphasizing equipment manipulation and situational awareness in low or no-light conditions.

To enroll, students must have completed Urban Rifle 1 or a similar course within the past five years, be physically capable of navigating varied terrain in the dark with full kit, and legally possess and use firearms and night vision equipment (ITAR compliance). No rental units are available. This advanced course is designed to push your limits and provide a full spectrum use case for your equipment.
