Can I bring a nightlite and have someone check my shooting bench for the boogie man?

Why would you think the COF is going to be posted before the match?
And when you get it, it will be too dark to read it.

There should be a separate class for people running nightvision.

No you cannot run night vision. It would not help you anyway the way the COF is designed.

Sniperscopes
468. Any person who knowingly buys, sells, receives, disposes of, conceals, or has in his possession a sniperscope shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment. As used in this section, sniperscope means any attachment, device or similar contrivance designed for or adaptable to use on a firearm which, through the use of a projected infrared light source and electronic telescope, enables the operator thereof to visually determine and locate the presence of objects during the nighttime. This section shall not prohibit the authorized use or possession of such sniperscope by a member of the armed forces of the United States or by police officers, peace officers, or law enforcement officers authorized by the properly constituted authorities for the enforcement of law or ordinances; nor shall this section prohibit the use or possession of such sniperscope when used solely for scientific research or educational purposes.
If I was to put one on my rifle, EVERYTIME I would pull the trigger, I would be conducting a scientific experiment. Will firing a NV Scope affect my ability to hit said target at 'X' range and at 'Y' Density Altitude. :ugeek:

What about the NV devices that are mounted in front of the scope. It's not telescopic right? Plus the regular scope is not electronic.

NV scopes are not illegal, only the one that have their own light source, the IR illuminator, built in. So, to be legal, you buy just a NV scope, then have your spotter hold a seperate IR illuminator

PVS-14's have a built in IR illuminator so they are a no go.
