The days are getting shorter real fast and there isn't enough light to shoot when I get home from work anymore. This is not acceptable! So I got a spot light, ran an extension cord to where I put my targets and, viola, I can shoot again after work. Also, it's very calm in the evening. I think this is an indication of airgun addiction!!

LOL! Yes you are addicted! I must admit that I have done that also. You know what works good also, is if you put a spot light next to your shooting position shining on the target. It will illuminate the back of the pellets and you will be able to watch them in flight. They light up quite nicely.

Yeah, the light from behind does make a pretty good show. I've always just parked my jeep with the brights on, sat down in front of it, and shot.

I set up a big mag light next to me shining on my target to shoot at night. As 30cal said its almost like shooting tracers.

I totaly forgot about this really cool spotlight I got last year until I read through my post. It's a hog/coyote spotlight that clamps to the tube of the scope, and it illuminates out to 200 yards! Granted its red so no animals can see it, its still very cool and fun. Maybe I ought to use it sometime this coyote season.

Ha, ha, ha!...Nope!, not yet!...Wait until you start shooting those very cold winter days at 2:00 AM from a bench and through a window inside your BEDROOM! ...Nothing like shooting from inside your house with your PJ's at warm temps and with a hot coffee next to the trigger finger !

LOL! Coffee better be decaf!
Granted if that tin of pellets is almost gone...

Some years ago I bought some Luminous (Glow) paint at a hobby shop and painted the inside of the skirts of some pellets...It was very fun to see the luminous green dot heading for your target and hitting it...
Those were my "Poor Man's Tracers"...

Last year I bought a £10 LED floodlight that's rechargeable, no wires and mess and dead cheap, so you can buy a handful and put them at the target and at you bench etc...
