Anyone interested in going to a night shoot at Dragonman's?

[psawjack]

***UPDATE 09-04-10***
I'm getting the itch to go back to DMans for another night shoot. Maybe a couple weeks from now on a Friday night. Who's interested?

***UPDATE 08-03-10***
Night shoot date is scheduled for the 6th of August (Friday). The fee for shooting is $8 per person and the shoot will run from 6:30pm sharp to 9:00pm. Anyone wanting to attend feel free to show up without any prior coordinating with me but you must be there at approx. 6:30pm when Dragonman is going to take the fees. No one is permitted to enter after we all pay and head to the range. In addition to regular range gear I recommend you bring a flashlight/headlight and a couple glow sticks to attach to the targets (it looks cool shooting them too).

If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I hope to see you there.

If this works out I'm hoping to make a habit out of it.

I was at Dragonman's today for some shooting and to sight in my new laser. I got to talking to Mel the owner about my afternoon's activities and he mentioned that he would be willing to allow me/us to come and shoot on his range after it was dark. The only stipulation is that he would do it if 5 or more people would commit to attending and we gave him a little notice.

I'm really interested in practicing in low light and I would like more trigger time with my laser mounted USP.

If anyone is interested or have any questions please let me know. He didn't mention a max amount of people. I'm good to go and hopefully my wife too.

For those who don't know Dragonman's range is located about 20 or so out east of Colorado Springs. Google or I will provide detailed directions if you need them. It will cost $10 per person. They are open from Tuesday to Sunday.

I'm not sure the proper location to put this thread in so if it needs to be moved sorry about that.

Only if it is a true night shoot. Star light/IR only. 200-500 yards would be nice. I have only shot to 300 yards so far and would like to go past that with my PSL.

DM only has up to the 200 yard open, unless someone can talk him into letting you shoot out on the flats he owns. IR only would suck for some of us who don't have access nor can afford IR/NV.... as much fun as it would be.

[ChadAmberg]

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.

Time to pull out the BFAEX w/magnesium... oh yeah. Sunglasses required, lol.

[CrufflerSteve]

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.

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.
