This video details the experience of competing in the Moons Out 2026 night vision rifle match, focusing on the passive division which prohibits infrared illumination. The competitor shares insights into using non-NVG-compatible optics with night vision devices, the challenges of low-light target acquisition, and the physical demands of night shooting stages. The content highlights practical techniques for engaging targets under challenging conditions and the importance of equipment setup for night vision operations.

This guide, presented by a high-authority speaker from FalconClaw, details how to overcome limitations of standard night vision in challenging indoor and outdoor scenarios. It explains the 'photonic barrier' concept and demonstrates how thermal overlays significantly enhance target detection, especially in windows and shadowed areas. The importance of maintaining passive operations by avoiding active IR illuminators against peer adversaries is also stressed.

This video announces Midnight Brutality 2023, a unique night-time rifle/PCC-only competition held at Echo Valley Training Center. Organized by InRangeTV and One Shepherd, in collaboration with Forgotten Weapons, the event is designed for night vision (NVGs) and thermal optics, but also welcomes white-light setups. Early registration is available for Forgotten Weapons supporters with a discount. The match features six stages and offers divisions for white light, active IR, passive IR, and thermal. Registration details and match rules are provided.

This review of the Steiner DBAL-A3 laser aiming module highlights its dual-beam capability, including infrared and visible green lasers, and an IR illuminator. While praised for its military-grade construction and effectiveness with night vision, the reviewer notes significant drawbacks in its complex switchology, battery storage recommendations, and the potential for added weight and bulk on a rifle system. The video suggests that for users prioritizing simplicity and value, dedicated IR lasers and weapon lights might be a more practical choice.
