We are training this weekend down South but that class has been sold out since February. January class Y'all are always welcome down South here just a few hours south of Macon. |
|
Quoted: Ordered my NODS from JRH earlier this week......Looking forward to having them and getting together with a few local folks to put them to use in the future. They should show up just in time for my helmet to arrive and my form 4 to clear.  Appreciate your business, thanks again! |

Quoted: I was just wondering if the angry emu range could do some night work. I think I’m farther away now than when I live in SC, but I’ll definitely make the drive to use my NODs and hang with y’all  I have no problem with having a night shoot out here at the Angry Emu. In fact if you go back quite a few posts on this thread you'll see that it's been discussed and basically I'm just waiting for someone to pick a date. I'm sure that the holidays will make it tough for most folks, but whenever y'all want to put together a shoot I'm good with it!

Still waiting on mine (literally just ordered) but if I can get JRH to bump a fellow Georgia HTF member to the top of the list (j/k - ish) , I'll be there tomorrow...... |

Quoted: Still waiting on mine (literally just ordered) but if I can get JRH to bump a fellow Georgia HTF member to the top of the list (j/k - ish) , I'll be there tomorrow...... LMAO. I'll be on the kill list of about 600 people then!!! But if you all get something together we will be happy to show up with some NV for folks to play with and sample as well as IR laser outfitted rifles (bring your own ammo), etc. From having NV classes down here we have a bunch of loaner equipment we can bring. Or come to a class down here, we do them cheap as hell, lots of good training, they fill up fast. |

Quoted: I’m down for whenever. Seriously. If anyone wants to set a hard date in Dec, Jan, Feb... whenever, I propose some night fun, followed by some convo and shit talk around a fire, if that’s in the cards  There's definitely a place to have a campfire at the camping area of the range. Obviously there's a place to camp too. We even have limited water and electricity, as well as an outhouse available, if anyone is interested in camping at the range after the shoot. If you'd prefer to spend the night, but aren't really into roughing it, there's a number of hotels/motels about 6-7 miles away at I-20 & hwy 441/129. I'm thinking sometime in mid to late January would be best simply from the standpoint of getting the holidays out of the way, but I'm good with whatever y'all think would work best. |

PM'ed with Emu a little bit and sounds like he's looking for someone to grab this and run with it. So here goes- Alright folks- two possible dates- January 2nd or January 16th Looks like sunset is around 5:30 then. We would need to have everyone that is going to participate at the range by 4pm or so if possible. This will help with time to do a safety brief and go over any NV gear usage if folks need help with that. We will bring some Night Vision of various flavors for folks to try out if so desired as well as several rifles outfitted with IR lasers- BYO ammo. ARs and AKs. We can bring paper targets but too far to try to drag target stands, etc. Truck will be full up with all the loaner gear. We'll shoot for a few hour and we will be happy to help with any NV questions, issues, etc. that you may have. If possible we would like to be on the road back by no later than 10pm due to about a 4 hour drive back that night. |

There's plenty of steel out there to shoot at, and there ought to be some target stands for paper in various states of repair. Either date is fine with me. Time to sing out and let us know which date is best. THANKS for picking up the ball and running with it!!!

I have a range on private property in Jefferson GA that I could provide. I would have to be present, but that’s no biggie. Cost would be very low. Capability of shooting out to approximately 180yds. Plenty of steel targets and target frames on the range. If someone wants to put something together there, just hit me up. |

I'd have happy to throw a few bucks in to try stuff out. |

Quoted: Sounds great. Does this mean it'd be open to people without NV? I'd have happy to throw a few bucks in to try stuff out. That's correct. We will bring some extra NODS up there of various flavors for folks to try out. If you don't have an IR laser equipped rifle we will have a couple on hands (ARs and AKs) BYO ammo for those. No charge on our part for any of this but I'd like to require a $20. donation payable to Emu for range maintenance, etc. Folks if you don't have property then you don't know what all goes into keeping a place up, especially a range. Emu will have a sign in table at the entrance and you can drop the $20. donation there to him. |

I've been trying to get into NV for a while and have picked up a laser and a helmet so far, but NV is hard to come by right now and it would be amazing to get to give it a shot before taking the deep dive.

Looks like they are doing some maintenance at the range so Jan 2 would be too soon. Got to factor in decent moon phase also which helps with people new to NV. So let's look at Saturday the 23rd. I'm away at a class till Monday but I will respond as I can. Thanks |

Quoted: Tag, I have a peq2 and a cheapie helmet but have been unable to decide what nod I want. I used the pvs14 in the army but am unsure if I want that or a bnvd. This would be great to see through some different setups. Really just gonna come down to how much you’re willing to spend; a good PVS14 is great, but no contest against good duals. But I’m sure there’s gonna be a lot to look through, I’m looking forward to comparing. |

Quoted: Be happy to help you with that there. Thanks for your business, look forward to meeting you. Quoted: Quoted: 2nd and the 16th are a no go for me but the 23rd looks good so far. Satisfied JRH customer here. Will need help zeroing an IR laser for the first time. Be happy to help you with that there. Thanks for your business, look forward to meeting you. i need to get the hooks set in me for a pair of those.

I'm in for Jan as well. Got in on the JRH Black Friday deal and if Rob could bring a sample of the TF WP HP+ 1900 that would give me a taste of what I have to expect in 16+ weeks It's Rob the Avon of NV and he's bringing the COTI and an example of the NOX as well
