Would there be any interest in the group for doing a night vision demo? I've got a couple NVD's that I'd have no problem letting others try out. I know there are others on here that are interested in getting into night vision or thermals, but don't want to spend the money without trying stuff out first. Would there be enough of a interest to do this?

Typically I would say is a date, time and location.

If you have a membership to a range - sometimes they will go past dusk where you could have a meet up. Maybe not shoot but at least have some open space and parking.

Some parks but more and more of them are gated and closed past dusk.

Also list what you have so folks can research unless you’re planning to do a lot of education.

Lastly talk to a rep of a gun store or company that makes them. Maybe they might come out if you have enough interests.

Night vision is under appreciated by most. In a civilian world it’s not on the radar of things to have. For SHTF scenarios it’s the King for travel, security and defense.

Merc has a range that can be used, free of charge for an NV demo.

I appreciate that! :bow: Now just have to find people interested in it as well!

Maybe we should do a WAGUNS summer shoot, which then could have a night vision portion at the end of it.

I've got a couple lasers that I could setup for testing out. Just depends on how much interest there is

Of course, folks would bring this back up days before I leave. How would folks feel about setting up a date in September time frame? Allows for adequate planning and also makes it so we're not waiting for the sun to set at 9 in the evening.
