Night Ops

// The Partnership

Everything they do happens after dark

Steele Industries is one of the country's leading night vision specialists — American-made NVG systems, thermal, helmets, lights, lasers, and IR gear — and they're headquartered right up the road in Bradenton. Their team brings the truck, the demo gear, and the expertise to MGAC for a full calendar of night events.

These aren't gear-counter demos. You'll shoot a real multigun course of fire under goggles, ruck through the property in the dark, and get behind the latest tubes before you ever spend a dollar on one. Spots are capped and these events have sold out every time — when registration opens, don't sit on it.

Learn to own the night

Steele Industries runs night vision training at MGAC, from first-time fundamentals — device capabilities, laser and rifle zeroing, moving and shooting under goggles — up to operator-level courses covering vehicle operations and close-quarters work in low and no light. Classes are small, hands-on, and shot on our ranges.
