With BigBear in for the night shoot I think we are now down to the planning phase. If we go for a Sat or Sun night I think the next available time for me is the weekend of the 7th of Aug. If that works with everyone I'll get with Dragonman the during the week prior to that weekend and see if that's cool with him.Quote:

Low light would be a good starting point. I have a couple of night sight pistols and a rifle with an illuminated reticle for low light.

Pending hearing back from ChadAmberg and his guest I think we can aim for the 7th of August. I think the backup date could be the 14th of August.
Once everyone has confirmed the 7th with me I'll give Dragonman a call and ask the questions y'all have asked me to pass along and get the date set.
I'll post any updates here for anyone else who would like to tag along (or you could just PM me with questions). The more the merrier and if the night shoot works out great maybe we could try to make a habit out of going once every couple months or so.
Thanks everyone.
Patrick
Yeah, I'm good for that date too.
One thing we may want to remember when planning this again in the future, is the phase of the moon, so we know when we will have some light.
Oh, here's a video of tannerite at night: http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=2nW9z8...eature=related
hmmm... did they mix anything with the Tannerite?
Cause as far as I know (which isn't much), with tannerite there should not be a huge flash. (Yes, I've used it A LOT) And do keep in mind that the video was recorded in slow-mo. So if there is a flash, it will be very quick, hence a "flash" and not an explosion... If you're working on night manevuers, that may not be a good thing since it'll impair your nightvision.
On the other hand... anytime someone gets to blow something up is a good time...
I would like some more info on what exactly is planned besides, "Let's get together at night and shoot stuff".
I spoke to Mel out at Dragonmans briefly this morning. He has no issues with doing it on the 7th of August. He did lower the price to $8 per person to attend the shoot. The shoot will be from 7pm to 9:30pm (sorry but no later than that because his neighbors will have problems). Also I checked a website online for sun info and read that sunset will be around 8:04pm so we'll have some time to set up/sight in lasers/scopes in daylight. His whole place will be open just for us (his words) and we'll be able to shoot the same weapons we've been allowed to shoot there before. Anyone can attend if they want to (even up until that night...just show up at 7pm and bring guns and ammo. He sells paper targets as well as ammo too. He does allow fully automatic weapons to be shot there.Quote:

BTW I'm not making a dime on this nor will 1 cent of money need to be passed through me. As soon as we get there we'll just pay him.
Hopefully that clears things up for anyone with questions. If not just PM me and I'll get back to you.
Thanks,

I wish this was closer to me, I would love to attend.
UPDATE: Date changed to the 6th of August.
I need to reschedule the date of the night shoot from the 7th to the 6th of August. I got a chance to talk to Jim the RSO at DMans and he found out that my original plan of the 7th was no good because it's a Saturday night and any night shoots will only be from Tuesday night to Friday night. I figure most people who are interested in attending would go for Friday night over the other days.
If you have any questions feel free to let me know.
Patrick
Final update before the 1st attempt at a night shoot at Dragonmans. Details are in the first post.

Thanks and hope to see you there.
Patrick
