cking Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Next weekend we are having a night shoot. Want some ideas for simple stages using paper targets. One I was thinking of was putting cloths on the targets, then painting the head of a classic target different colors. Then have you choose a color before the run. The rest of targets become no shoots. Also looking for ways to come up with pics of weapons I could print on my color printer then attach them to targets. Again all suggestion will be appreciated.

basman Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 We hold our matches at an indoor range and fit 2-3 stages in an 36' wide by 25 yard area. the folling links will show the stages for the last low light match we held and the stages for the next match (January). http://www.shootersparadise.com/forums/showthread.php?t=793 and http://www.shootersparadise.com/forums/showthread.php?t=681 our plate rack uses paper plates which can be replaces or pasted.

Beethoven Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 if you have electricity on the range try using a strobe light. I shot a strobe stage once. It was a Holloween thing. It was more difficult to set the swingers up after the shoot then it was to hit the targets. It was accually pretty cool thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yar1180 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Recently our club had a night shoot but it was pistol and shotgun only. On one stage we hooked up two spotlights to simulate headlights. This created a light obstacle that worked against the shooter. Then we set up single column of 50-gallon plastic drums (one on top of the other. The shooter uses these as barriers against the light (otherwise the light blinded the shooter to the point he could not see the targets). For barricades against the light obstacle make them barricade skinny. This forces the shooter to move around to create angles to engage the target while blocking out the light. For the lights we used 2 high power halogens screwed into a 2x4 frame and ran a extension cord to a power source. We dragged the cord out of the way where a shooter would not be near it during the COF, but it was a trip hazard when resetting the stage. We just made sure everyone knew about the cord.

ShaunH Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 At our night matches in Albany, Oregon we've used flares and Police Light Bars. Hell of a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
