The inaugural Starlight 3-Gun Championship, presented by Timney Triggers and held in conjunction with the NRA World Shooting Championship this week is quite the sight to behold. It's not often you go to a match where both staff and competitors need to don glow sticks. It's in the rules.
So does any club run night time PSG etc in the UK??....

Never heard of it in UK.

Have done it in Hungary as part of a comp - searchlight panning across targets and a split second to shoot as your target illuminated.

Also done a "zombie" shoot using AR with torch in USA.

Would need to be a club miles from anywhere or you'd at least get noise complaints to the council and put your set up in jeopardy or quite likely have the AR 's and helicopter come for a visit

An indoor mnirifle comp with the lights turned off would be a much more viable option imo

Wayne at NW Custom ran a Halloween minirifle indoor night shoot last year that was a great laugh and far harder than I was expecting

Done an indoor minirifle with just torches for illumination, was fun, but I'm not a fan of shooting indoors with high round counts.

I don't see anyone doing a PSG match in the dark in the UK, a dark stage in a shed or something is possible, but the amount of extra range staff required and then a club committtee signing off on it might put a stop to the whole thing.

In the USA it's usually an invitational thing, pro shooters only.



Rockcastle usually have a cave shoot with NVG and suppressors.
