I have arranged for special rates for Boomer Shooters on April 27th and 28th
at the Konkolville Motel. But you must make the reservations BEFORE
February 14. For more details see:

http://www.boomershoot.org/general/general.htm#Accommodations

As of last Saturday the event was half full. More people, that said they
were going to sign up, may have actually sent in their entries by now. Last
year it wasn't until seven weeks prior to the event that it was this full.
We are currently 13 weeks away. At this rate we will fill up by about the
end of February.

When I receive your entry I send you email confirming your entry. If I
don't send you the confirmation it means I did not receive your entry! One
person is certain they sent in their entry and I have not received it. I
suspect they did not use the zip+4 zip code. The +4 is important! The
letter ends up going to the wrong post office if you don't include it.

Also of interest is that I have successfully detonated a new mixture that is
very cheap. For the recipe and details see:

It is roughly 1/10 the cost of the current mixture but probably isn't very
sensitive. I probably will be using it for a BIG BOOM this year. I bought
a six gallon plastic bucket to fill with the material. Last year a half
gallon to a gallon of the old mixture left big craters (18" deep, 4->5'
across) in the field. I think I will suspend this between two trees to
avoid having to come back the next week with a front end loader to fill in
the craters like I did last year.
