I shoot at a laser pointer dot at night time.
Because of the hours I work,it's often the only practice I have the opertunity for.
A candle would be ok,but my target butt is just in front of a shed full of hay bales.
I don't need that much excitment just now,,

Mudd-

Thanks for sharing and as a newbie, let me just say thanks for taking the time to teach/mentor someone like me-we really appreciate guys like you.

I've noticed significant improvements in accuracy with myself and others when shooting pistols at low-light levels.  It seems to make the focus better on proper sight picture, etc.  Makes a lot of sense that it would transition to archery, as well.  Definitely going to have to give some of this a try...

I have used low light/no light blank bale shooting to work on form.  Its the best way I've found to feel the shot.  What I find intriguing is how small your groups are at 20 yds. in the dark.  Once you get over the fear of sending one into the neighbors yard.

A few fellow archers and I went to do the coon shoot at Denton. Then we realized we missed the shoot because it was supposed to be at 9 and it was now 11pm. We used a head lamp from one guy and shot at those little reflective eyes until the end of the 10 or so targets that were set up. We were having so much fun, and shooting so well, we just kept on going on to the regular 3-D targets. We shot one of the big courses all night until the sun came up and most of the next day. It was one of the best times I ever had.
