We went through night shooting training in the military in early-mid 1960's. It was before the starlight scope and without the advantage of infrared. 1) 30 minutes getting accustomed to the dark in a red chamber. 2) raise your eyes above the sights twice - dark will create phantoms; 3) don't expect to hit anything so fire multiple rounds (and since the M-14 flash suppressor will give you away for the opposing machine gun, get out of the position). I operated once in Laos at night but the moon was so bright it cast shadows. Never had to shoot - was checking a map coordinate location stream junction.
Shooting blacklight targets (infra-red?) sounds really interesting and instinctual. .pretty much air-soft stuff .not sure what the point of it is other than novelty. But one can see the fun. And it does extend the usefulness of the club after sunset - not to mention the hot chocolates and snacks sold. the possibilities for other sports to expand into night-time are fascinating.
