    I'd give it a go... no NV equipment or lasers, but that's OK.

    Why not have a contest for the biggest fireball? Long rifle rounds in carbines and pistols can be something. BP guns also look cool.

    If you look at my picture, I could put up a good contest.

    Maybe somebody has some of that Dragon's Breath shotgun ammo.

    Think how much fun it would be to set up tannerite targets at 100 yards in the dark...

    Jerrymrc,

    I'm not sure but Dragonman may want to have a couple lights from the RSO shack on and so I think it will be more like low light shooting as apposed to no light shooting. I'm also not sure on this but will assume that he will open the 100 yard/pistol combo range close to his store so shooting 300 yards might be a no-go. I gave him the impression that the shoot would be more for close-up night sight and laser training as opposed to NV and IR rifle scope training. Next time I stop by I'll ask him for more details.

    Chad,

    I gave Dragonman the impression that the shoot would be for myself and others learning how to and training using night sights and lasers on low light conditions. Basically more training for those times when we check out the things that go bump in the night at our houses as opposed to being geared towards shooting scoped high powered rifles at 300 yards(although that would be sweet as I've never done that before).

    Well I have at least 1 so far...just a couple more and we are golden.

    Thanks everyone. I can't wait.

    Patrick

    Tannerite is a binary explosive that reduces with water vapor only. Tannerite does not ignite with a "flash". Meaning, the "explosion" you see is just water vapor. If you were to shoot Tannerite in the dark, you wouldn't see anything.... but you'd hear the boom.

    Well, heck. If it's on a Sat or Sun night count me in. I have a light/laser for the G19... but nothing for the long gun. Will he open the shoot house and the SF range for us to actually get "real world" training in clearing a house or are we just talking about command fire from a line? Either way, I think it might be fun.
