Fighting at night. The Amtac Shooting Level 2 NVG course is designed to train solid Americans how to maximize the advantage of fighting at night time. What are the best tactics, what is the right gear, what are the best practices to maximize our chances of success? How do we shoot, move and communicate at night? In this course, we will cover:

  • Day and night shooting with pistol and carbine
  • Setting up your helmet and NODs
  • Setting up pistol and carbine for night fighting
  • Team movement at night
  • Force on force runs at night
  • Radio communications
  • Team Tactics


This is a physically demanding course. You will need a baseline of fitness to participate. For this Level 2 Course, I recommend that you have spent some time on NODs before you come.
