Winner Winner chicken dinner
Congrats to MM on winning the Unity Tactical Fast setAnd congrats the Nick H. on the Spark package.In the future I plan to do more of this with cool products and maybe even a Laser or a NV unit, its via your support that this is possible and I wouldn't be able to do it without my patrons. Thank you guys from the bottom of my cold black heart.
NV training, its a thing.
Trained vs. Untrained, which are you? Sometimes you don't know what you don't know. Training is to expose you to new concepts and TTP's, to shake out your gear and see what works and what fails or hampers you.
Don't be that guy
Hardware upgrades are great, but its the software upgrades that will see you through the darkness. Spending tens of thousands of dollars on gear that you can barely walk a straight-line with at night doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Stay tuned
I will make an announcement on Wednesday.
A little thank you to y’all
Thanks patrons
Equivalent Background Illumination (EBI)
What it is, why it’s so important and what it means.
Line Pair Resolution
What it is, when it matters and when it doesn't.
Some things to think about regarding the BNVD
Are you looking to either upgrade from an existing NV unit such as the venerable PVS-14, or possibly upgrade from an older ANVIS-9 system? Or maybe jump into the deep end of NV as a first time buyer? Maybe still you have been tasked buy your chain of command at the Police Dept you serve at to acquire NV for you or your fellow officers with either Dept funding or a Federal Grant.All too often I speak to individuals in these circumstances and there is a topic that resonates regularly through them....
Tube Cosmetics
What they are, what they mean, and why they generally don't matter or bother me.
It’s called Nightfighter
It’s night fighter, not Night Vision Fighter. Having a functional white light skillset is the mark of a skilled shooter.
Signal to Noise Ratio
What is SNR and what can it do for you.
Honor the fallen, remember the ones who cannot be with us today, and never ever forget or forgive.
9/11 is a day of remembrance and though we may no longer be in Afghanistan, the war isn’t over. We will be back after half time.
Which Tech do you prefer?
Different competing technologies at different price points, are IMO a good thing for the consumer. Is unfilmed better? Yes and it certainly better in low light, but you'll pay for it.
Figure of Merit
NV FO, what it is and isn’t.

Thin Filmed vs. Unfilmed
Yet another video in the NV tech series, hopefully this dispels any rumors.This is only available to upper tier Patrons currently, so thanks for not being poor.
Low light photography
The low light capabilities of some of the newer smart phones is pretty impressive with enough ambient environmental lighting. The key word is enough, as digital processors still lag behind analog I2 in this area of tech.
White Phosphor vs. Green Phosphor
Many questions, many answers. Get the low down of both. Enjoy Patrons
ECOTI in action
Fusion is the way forward in the short term until full digital takes over which wont be for a little while. The COTI features a faster processor than the legacy PAS-29 COTI and a 50% increase to the FOV. Being able to see in multiple spectrums at once is a huge gain to situational awareness.They are amazing tools, but are quite pricey.
This why you are here. How it works.
First installment of the tech series. This will be the first layer of the onion peeled back. More to come.Enjoy, please comment with follow up questions. It may give me ideas for future videos or they may be answered in upcoming videos. Thank you all again for being Patrons. You allow me to do this and fund the channel.
Laser Zeros
There are 2 basic types of Laser zero'sConstant offset zeros which run parallel to the bore of the gunConverging diverging zero which has a POA/POI at whatever distance you zero the laser at.The zero that I choose to run on my rifles is the converging diverging zero. Here's why.The zero you run on your firearms optic is a converging diverging zero, one would never think to run a constant offset, that would be pretty dumb, so just like your day optic why not run a similar zero and underst...
Background info
A little bit about me
Thank you guys
I want to give a big shout out to all you folks for joining up as a patron. I'll be posting videos weekly, and for higher tiers, more often. Once most of the informational videos are posted, I can start taking some requests for videos. Once again, I appreciate y'all making the jump in here and will strive to put out quality info as best I can.
Midnight therapy
Hog hunting is probably the best outdoor activity you can utilize skills learned and gear acquired for a practical application that is contextually relevant to 95% of folks. If you've never ventured out into the darkness to spot stalk and harvest one, you're missing out.
