Night shooting suckage

I took some video night shooting, hoping that the green laser beam would be visible to the camera, which it was not. On top of that, I MISSED like all but 2 shots! Looking forward to making good sabots. Of course, much of it is my fault as well. Holding still is hard sometimes. All shots were at 50 wide pacesaway , about 40 yards. Some shots are zoomed in.

Hm. Vidya doesn't work. Why not just try YouTube?

Also, as to the night shooting... well of course. :lol: Video cameras do not fare very well with low-light conditions. I would try either using IR (if your camera is equipped) or an HD camera with the EV balance adjusted up.

Just was thinking about something that can be seen in the dark.

Just don't post it here. Rule#3 no incendiary projectiles.

Otherwise we'd be up to here in petrol bomb launchers.

You have to click the link in my post, then click play when you get to the site.

I know. There is no play button when I get to the site. Odds are you have copied a link from your address bar when signed in and viewing the video. Try looking for "share" options, which will give you a good URL.

You have to click the words of the video, or the little thumbnail of the video itself, then its blows up and gives a play button.
