Night Shooting

Airmen from the 375th Security Forces Squadron practice night firing at the indoor range on Scott Air Force Base, Ill Feb. 24. After all lights are turned off, shooters are given a few moments to let their eyes adjust to the dark before being told to grab a cartridge, move up to their weapons and load them. SF members move into the prone position and fire when told, shooting at targets 25 meters away with the M-4's while looking through a night vision scope.
