ARIZONA! I learned to shoot at night. To be honest, I just liked the noise and the flash, didn't aim at all. I owned a M44, it was easy to admire. At one point we did get a BP helo though, that was awesome. Nothing like a nice shooting trip with a Blackhawk orbiting. Just flew off eventually.
I think there are rules about shooting in the NF at night, feel like its a sun up to sun down kind of thing.

I say, head far far away, and find a spot all by yourself.
