This would be an awesome novelty type shoot for those Clays shooters amongst us...or anybody for that matter.
Glow in the Dark shot

That does look like a lot of fun and I bet it would also be pretty educational to see the real path of the shot like that.

I also thought there is a new product that you can load behind shot/bullet that will glow and show the shot path. Now that would be the ticket!

Honestly that's what it would take for me to learn. I do it so seldom that I never really learn where my gun shoots. Then again, if I were to do it at night, I'd probably still not know, cause you can't see your sight angle at night.....you'd sort of be guessing wouldn't you? Well if you handled your gun enough, you'd know. Does sleeping with your gun count?

This stuff would take the fun out of listening to guys argue about what you've done wrong when you miss !!!

Gun handling is important, practise makes perfect.
Sleeping with it might help, but that goes back to how well you "handle" it
All this has potential, our club president said the other week the club had to spend some money, he may be in for a shock.......

Fiocchi usa has a brand that does glow on its own.

One thing to note here. It's NOT glow in the dark.
Technical terms, it's not phosphorescent (glows on it's own). It's really fluorescent (requires UV lights to work).
Very cool, but only gun ranges set up for it will get those effects (look for the dull purple lights down either side of their range.
