Back in December of 2023, I was invited out to the Vortex Optics campus to get an early look at some of their products coming out for this year. While we were there, our group had the opportunity to get a look at the entire Vortex Optics operation including their customer service department, warehouse, manufacturing facility, and of course their very own training facility, Vortex Edge. Vortex Edge is open to the public and staffed by Vortex’s own team of dedicated instructors who have a wealth of experience in both law enforcement and military firearms training, as well as high-level competitive pistol and rifle shooting. No matter what level of shooting you’re at, or what your goals are, the Vortex Edge team can probably help you with your training, even if it includes using night vision. Today we’ve brought on Chris and Sawyer from Vortex to tell us all about the Vortex Edge facility and training offerings, as well as some of their company history and some hints at new products coming in 2024.
