    Local high school trap team set up a black light shot at our club. All the lights are off except over the gun rack. Birds show up like big orange pumpkins going out. If you were lucky to have a fiber green front sight you could see your front bead. I am 100% for shooting sports in our schools. But sending 12-to 17-year-olds to the line in the dark brought a safety issue to me. Has anyone else use black light for young shooters, or black lights at all?

    Yes in my opinion it is a safety concern. But apparently it’s not an issue at that club.
