Buckeye introduces cosmic trap shooting at Joe Foss Shooting Complex

At Joe Foss Shooting Complex in Buckeye, trap shooting takes on a different look after dark.

Under ultraviolet blacklights, neon-orange clay targets glow as participants take aim at targets launched into the night sky.

The city of Buckeye introduced cosmic trap shooting on Oct. 24, offering a new nighttime recreation program at its public shooting facility.

Traditional trap shooting involves a machine launching clay targets into the air for participants to shoot. cosmic trap shooting follows the same format, but ultraviolet lighting makes the targets fluoresce, creating a different visual experience.
