I'm thinking of giving (selling actually) the opportunity for people with night vision equipment the chance to exercise their equipment and skills on the night of Friday April 27^th 2007. This is two days before Boomershoot 2007. This would involve about 50 targets some of which would be "enhanced" for greater night time enjoyment. Other things that would be a little different from Boomershoot are the following:

• Targets would range from about 150 yards to 350 yards away
• Targets would be painted dark colors instead of being light colored
• Targets will all be 7x7 inches
• The price will be in addition to any entry fee you have paid already for Boomershoot 2007
• The price will be from $200 to $500 per person depending on how many people sign up
• The price will be finalized by April 15 2007 or when it is full whichever comes first
• Spotters are welcome but probably won't be useful and will not need to pay
• It will be limited to a maximum of 10 people
• The sun will be down
  • Sunset will be 19:50
  • End civil twilight will be 20:23
  • Moonrise will be 15:23
  • Moonset will be 04:06 the following day
  • The phase of the moon will be waxing gibbous with 82% of the Moon's visible disk illuminated
• Shooting will start at 20:30 and last for three hours or until the targets are gone
• A different location would be used. It is about two miles to the west of the usual site
• If it is too wet the site will be unusable and you would not have to pay even though you said you would participate
• All shooters will have a minimum of 10 feet horizontally and can set up starting at 19:00

This is a picture of the potential site as of November 23^rd 2006:

This location is facing north. The trees will shade the area from the setting sun but not from the moon. Of course if there is a heavy cloud cover it won't make much difference.
