When the ammo situation stabilizes?

A lot goes into a night shoot, there are plenty of logistics.

Ammo is a concern, but there is more to it than that.

Chemical lights (safety lighting) being the most expensive item to mark appropriately targets, people, safety. Do not use the same color for different functions.
RSOs to conduct a safe range, especially at night - the extra eyes are needed.
A safe location for the shoot, and the prior coordination of with all governmental oganizations.
Oh, a backup plan for when everything goes to crap.

HA HA

First, You have to find a range willing to accomodate such an event.

Second, Summer is the worst time to conduct such an event. It's dry (fire hazard), and gets dark late. You have to consider environmental factors. Something late fall, winter, or early spring when it is wet and gets dark early is ideal.

OK, Ill make one happen then

Here's the one futureseabee did back in 2009.

For it to happen, we contacted Zeke at DSC and spoke with him. He was quite happy to let it happen, but the cut off time was around 2200. As for the chemlights, it's best to buy them in bulk and utilize various colors for different reasons.

We used blue for RSO's, and I think it was green to mark boundaries of the range and fire zones, while I think we used red to identify shooters. Everyone had to have some sort of illumination on them. Chemlights in red/green work best as they minimize night vision issues.

Here was the group photo from that shoot.
