TACTICAL TIP: Getting used to NVG

Today we have a quick tip for you. It's best to get used to the somewhat different perception with the night vision device through a little game. We want to call it "Catch the Light". So put on the night vision device and toss an IR glow stick or a small ball back and forth with your buddy. Just like in our video. Initially, it's recommended to use a larger ball, such as a beach ball, and then move on to smaller balls. If you happen to not catch it, the beach ball won't cause any damage to the night vision device and won't hurt much in the face. And don't worry about being seen or embarrassed. Only others with NVGs can see you, since you're playing in the dark.
