    Shooting in the dark..

    We are toying with idea of setting up a couple hours a week for people to practice shooting in the dark. The only lights that will be on in the range are the ones above the stalls.. The rest of the range will be dark. Anyone interested? If so what time/ day of the week would you guys like to do it?

    instinctual shooting practice win. You are far from me or I would partake of that.

        Although i love the idea. But the thought of shooting in a dark room with a bunch of strangers makes me kind of uneasy.

        On the flip side i would LOVE a facility where i could brush up on my low light, no light shooting.
        "Then there are sheepdogs. The sheepdogs are the bastions of safety. The sheepdog lives solely to protect the flock and confront the wolf. They live for the opportunity to be called to duty to protect the innocent. The sheepdog has fangs and the propensity for violence but hopes that he will not have to resort to it. However, he lives for that day when he will be able to use his warrior skills and mindset to keep the wolf from harming the sheep."

          That is the reason we will leave lights in the stalls on.. That way we can make sure we can keep an eye on everyone. We also always have at least 1 RSO in the range.

                RSOs at IVE are great, helpful and safe. I would do this except I am still trying to learn how to shoot accurately with the lights on!

                              This.

                              I'm not near, so I wouldn't personally be there. My range is a public outdoor range and I REFUSE to go there on the weekends from opening to 5pm (they close at 7pm in the summer) because of how many times I see people bringing friends and then not teaching them safe gun handling. I love that people are introducing people to shooting, but do it safely damn it.

                              I'm fairly certain that I would be extremely nervous if a first timer came to this as they would probably be more prone to turning around 180 degrees with the gun when asking a question or looking for their friend since they cannot see ahead of them very well.

                              On the other hand, I think very few first timers would really show up to a low light shoot.

                              In the end, I would definitely go at least a couple of times to at least see if safe gun handling people are the typical low light goer.
