    That's correct!
    We used Flouro paint for the targets, Strips of reflective Vest, taped over the kill fixed at the back...I believe you can buy it as tape??

    We bought £1 shop glow sticks, Red on firing line, other colours on the string
    We also bought really cheap parrafin hurrican lamps and a couple of CD players in the wood, playing Halloween creepy stuff!
    Paint any trip hazards white and try to place a lamp near them.

    Some of the shooters used lamping gear!
    Some used one of the many 'Cheapo' torches we bought.
    You would not believe how bright the kills were...amazing and never shot out!

    Most people remarked how much easier they could see the kill zones compared to daytime!!

    Rob Lusted made some really fancy illuminated (Candles) pumpkins...witches cut out etc.
    Terry aiken made Goulash soup and Pumpkin Soup!

    Doesn't get much better!

    See if you can get in touch with Mays Shooting Ground, Essex - they ran a whole series of these night shoots a while back.
