Hoss Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 We had a night shoot at the Texas Riviera Pistoleros range last night. It was a blast! Several of us shot BP for the fire! If your club has ever considered a night shoot , GO FOR IT! Yours truly shooting 44-40s and a 10 guage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 They can be a bunch of fun. What was used for lighting? OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLG We had some lanterns, and a big portable light tower. Worked well. A few if the targets were in shadows and a little hard to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Sloe Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Somehow I think that my night vision would be completely gone after shooting that! Maybe one of these days. BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Gambler Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Were those special loads, or does black powder always put out that much flame? Looks like those pistols musta singed off the hairs on your knuckles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverboat Red, SASS #71733 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Night shoots are fun. This is one shot from a .45C. Remember, all that fire comes out during the day too, you just can’t see it very well. Come to Gunsmoke this year, we’re having a night shoot with black light targets. Lots of fun.

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 See, if we still had Possum Trot we could still be doing this. No, my pyrotechnic loads are not allowed at my club range. Starting fires is frowned on. Blame it on Jersey Bratt, she started it. Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
