Night Shoot at Necks? - Judging Interest Level

Was gonna put on a Night shoot last year but ran out of time in October '10

I would still like to put one on...would like to do it before it got too hot...I'm thinking last week of May.

I know we got lots of stuff on the calendar...so I'm just opening it up for discussion.

This event might need a bit more "coordination" for safety reasons...so I'm not opposed to doing it in the summer if that's what folks would like to do.

I'd like to explore possible dates, what ya'll like to shoot, courses of fire, materials needed etc etc.

Those that have been out there know that I have 2 fairly decent shooting berms in place.

Before it gets too far along...I'm mainly thinking pistols on this one...might let some full auto stuff rip at 25 yards or less...I dunno...lets kick it around

I am game....... Say last Saturday night in May........

Yes, will need some planning.

.

Last Sat night in May might work....That's May 28...Memorial Day Weekend so ya'll could recover from shooting all night.

Possible conflict for me is Regular F class match in Bogue...always 4th Sats...

but I should be back in time to nap and watch ya'll set up targets...

we will have some eats at this event...always gotta eat...I got burn piles that will go all night...

will have to make a courtesy call to Hinds Cty SO so the law don't come out to see what all the noise is

My F-class rimfire is 4th sat. I am interested though.

I would but the cookout I always do starts that Saturday night and we cook all night and have the Fun on sunday and recover on Monday.

Would love to, but I'll have my folks here then and I've already got a rifle match that morning. I'd love to try out some tracers at your place, provided we've had some rain beforehand.

I sorta figured there might be a few reasons folks would have issue with Sat Night May 28...Memorial Day weekend

aint no date set yet....we just kicking stuff around...The date is always the hard part

What if you move the shoot up 1 week...... to May 21st.......... ?

HP and ICORE match that morning at Magnolia, but nothing Sunday so we can REST.................

Heck, you might find me laying in the grass Sunday morning......................



.

Y'all figure out the date.... I'm down to atleast shoot the breeze and help with keeping things safe if needed. May shoot some.

Im up for a night shoot! Heck im for any shooting.
I have a lincoln ranger 10,000 welder/generator. Can power all the lights you want if need be.

I was just talkin to some friends today bout a night shoot. I been wanting to do that for awhile. Altho i think ive shot more at night than i have in the day haha. But i dont think we are gonna have a 2 million candle power spotlight out there.......

Spit a date and time out, ill come and bring the generator or what not, and a bunch of ammo.

Bump

Its about time to start planning this thing

I need some help planning courses of fire, RO availability and the tough one...

a date

YES........... setting the date is the first order of business.

.

i missed this thread in my dropping off the face of the earth for school and work. i'll be there. ya'll set a date and let me know when, well im not available may 14-20 but other than that i can make it work. i've got a big generater i can get my hands on and several heavy extention cords. this gonna be a camping thing too?

So what is a "night shoot" all about?

(I'm always interested in doing some shooting, so it's not a question of whether I'd like to attend or not.)

Is it simply to shoot tracers and see them light up all pretty like?

Or, is it shooting with NV devices?

Or, is it simply shooting at night with the target area lit up with spotlights?

Where at is your range? I'd be open to doing that with pistols, rifles and shottys. Maybe have a small course of fire with 3 guns with or without lights. Can you use tracers out at your range?

I think Neck is gonna want to just start with pistols to see how it goes... maybe next time rifles and shottys..

I got 5 .223 tracers I been wanting to shoot . Would love to go back out to neck's too , but if you just want to shoot pistols that's cool too .

I have a way to do the glowing targets you mentioned last time neck, its not cheap, but $20 worth of this stuff should go a good ways. Of course im interested in this. I will probably make a trip to cabelas by then too if anybody wants some tannerite type targets.

Be doing a lot of camping with the wife and we always have a big trip for Memorial Day. Ya'll get a date and I will see. Heck, might tell the wife were camping out somewhere out that way, she can come pick me up if ya'll pull out something cold to drink after the guns have been put up.

not a lot of interest i see...

maybe a few machine guns at short distance...

Texas Star with a strobe has been mentioned B 4 gonna have to bite the bullet and do one this summer...time is flying by
