Shooting with NVG's

[Voodoo_Man]

Training from someone who has a lot of time doing work under nods is probably the best answer for your questions...

I'll give you my limited experience answers:
1. both, as applicable
2. both, as applicable
3. depends on how much time you spend training
4. no

Thanks, watching videos online, from a visual standpoint, it looks as though the shooter uses the IR laser as the primary aiming device and pulling the weapon up on the shoulder, but not bringing the optic to the NVG.

That’s typically how it’s done, otherwise it’s pretty hard to line everything up quickly. Having the nods mounted to the gun may work when you’re completely stationary, but it doesn’t help at all if you’re moving.

I'm no expert and use my NVG for hunting and night hikes mostly but I run WPT Sentinels helmet mounted and would highly suggest using a IR laser to aim over the red dot. On my NV gun I have both an Aimpoint T2 and a Dbal A3 and greatly prefer the A3 for aiming. As was mentioned above lining up the red dot and your NVG can be difficult while stationary let alone while moving. NV tubes only give you an approximate 40 degree field of vision so keeping the red dot in your view can be difficult along with the stand off distance from the NVG and I find it rather cumbersome. Once you practice a bit the laser become more natural in my opinion.
