Night vision shooting PDX area

[Nocaster]

My long awaited night vision set has been produced by TNVC and arrived at my house. UPS left the package on the doorstep, did not get the required signature, and even left a neon green "high value package" sticker on it. LOL.

Anyway, all is well.

Has anyone here done any shooting on public lands at night? Are there any legal issues with that? Any info anyone willing to share?

Ive always wanted to do some low light shooting myself but Target shooting on public land is prohibited between one half hour after sunset to one half hour before sunrise.

Talk with @Mikej. There's plenty of night time target shooting in his area, not much drama from the PTB as long as you obey the traffic cones. Give Rev. Knutson more stuff to gripe about and plead for money.

Not really in Portland but I thought I read something about @Cerberus Group and NVG training classes....maybe...

 

[Cerberus Group]

Yep, my range is open 24/7.

We do low and no light along with nvg courses by request.

...and Jon Dufrense of Kinetic Consulting will be here this summer putting on NVG 101...so there's always options.

Thanks Steve, I remember you mentioning that when I was there for Blowers' Pistol class. I'll reach out to you once I stop giggling here like a little girl.

I was in the class, Steve's range is perfect (little far though). I think Browns Camp Pit could be a decent place. If you wanna go shoot hit me up, I love dancing in the dark

I have a small group that does some nvg stuff. must be willing to travel an hour or more from pdx and we usually like to shoot with someone in daylight first, just to make sure the fundamentals are there.

We strongly prefer people to have a suppressor so as to minimize unwanted attention, at least for rifle.

Variety of different kit, pvs 14, bnvg etc.

PM for details.

 

[Cerberus Group]

My range is open 24/7...the same applies here...let's do some shooting before dark to check things.

Suppressors not necessary...

 

[Flymph]

You'll have to find a private range or property that will allow you to shoot after dark.
Shooting on public land after dark is prohibited, as previously stated.

I just emailed Jon a couple days ago, there is still room in the class weekend after next on the 24th & 25th. I'll be there for sure.

Here's a link to the class...

I'll be on vacation, but would love to come out again in July (except the weekend of 7/16, can't do that one either). Taking my nods with me on vacation, will try some night hiking on the coast

 

[Yarome]

Wait a sec. Those night vision goggles are for shooting purposes??

I think I've been using mine all wrong. I thought they were for pe----....... nevermind.

...can get a group together and put on NVG 101 class....

How many people can/do you book per class?

 

[Cerberus Group]

I like to keep my classes small so everyone gets individual attention...6-8 people is optimal, but if more want to join in, I'll have a 2nd instructor on board.
