      I have purchased most of the gear highlighted here. It was definitely a buy once/cry once situation. Save up your pennies, do your research, and get the gear that best accommodates your individual situation. As stated elsewhere, training is much more important than gear.

    You should do a night vision giveaway full set up with ballistic helmet. Could even pair it with a lower priced rifle to offset the cost and give you the full set up. That would be sick.

    For all those questioning why anyone would want this, I offer my stance. I use mine hunting. I can get to my deer stand or turkey blind without spooking anything with a light. I can also set out duck or goose decoys in the dark. Also, they’re very useful for hogs or coyotes at night. Is it absolutely necessary? Absolutely not. Does it make things easier? Yup! As a bonus, if things go bump in the night I’m good to go.

    Being able to see when no one else can is an invaluable asset in combat. Your white light gives away your position and tells the enemy where to shoot, with night vision and an overcast dark night you’re essentially invisible until you’re right on top of someone

    I just took Jamie Caldwel's 2-day (night?) Night Vision Operator course. 4 civilians and 10 high end LEOs. Two best shots in weapons quals were running single tube PVS14, and so was I. Everything I thought I was going to find wrong with my setup, I didn't. Ranger band a USGI bayonet j-arm and it doesn't wobble.
    The real issue I had was switching between IR and white light on my vampire head. I need a LAM with a dedicated IR flood.

    Just getting into NV, really debating removing my ear pro to make passive shooting easier. Unfortunately it does sacrifice some of the stability of the system overall. Ear pro hitting the stock is much more annoying than lining up the tubes in my humble opinion. If anyone has a solution, feel free to let me know. Running the Howards, I like them over the cheap Peltors. NV, changes everything though.
