I just opened up position number 37 in the "Main" area. The people squatting
there hadn't paid, didn't answer my emails or the voice mail I left.

Do it now! It won't last long. Yesterday position 31 was opened up and
lasted for only 12 minutes.



Joe Huffman
Boomershoot Event Director

The position has been taken.



There are two others that have not paid and don't answer their email so
don't give up hope yet. I'm waiting a day to see if they respond to their
voice mail.

It appears there will be a special Boomershoot event November 11th, 2007.
This is for the benefit of a U.K. film company doing a documentary. For some
background see this blog posting:



http://blog.joehuffman.org/2007/09/13/MakeADifferenceOnGunOwnershipViewsInTh
eUK.aspx



If you would like to participate send me an email. I will be charging $50.00
per shooter for this event and everyone can have their shooting position.
Depending on the weather we may not be able to get targets up on the hill
and they may all be at the 375 yard tree line. We won't know until the day
of the shoot. But there will be lots of targets including fireballs to help
keep us warm.



It's not for certain yet but I estimate the chances of this happening on
this day at about 75%.



Joe Huffman
Boomershoot Event Director

You may now sign up for Boomershoot 2008. The big event will be April 27th
of next year.

The position numbers are not the same as last year. Numbers in the .50
Caliber Ghetto are unchanged. Most others should add six to the number you
had last year to get the equivalent this year. People that had position
numbers 10C, through 12A, 12B, and 12C should look at positions 7 through 18
for the physical positions they had in 2007.

In case Boomershoot 2007 didn't work out or you just can't get enough
exploding targets in a month. Ozark Pyrotechnics in Missouri is having an
event with MACHINE GUN RENTALS next month.

CONSUMER FIREWORK SALES ONLINE



The January 2007 ice storm was very hard on our small family operated
company. We lost buildings, equipment, and thousands of dollars in
fireworks, as well as firework manufacturing tools, equipment, and supplies.
We will upload the photos of the ice storm to our photos and videos page
when we have the time.



We are putting up a building now for year-round firework sales, and we are
working on our firework shopping cart at this time. We "should" have all of
this completed by the first of May, but the wet weather is not helping us
out. The building should have been up by now!



As we are so busy, we are again putting off hazmat shipping of all our
products, and this includes consumer fireworks. HOWEVER!!!!  We plan on
having firework prices so low that you will gladly drive to Hick-ville for
the savings. Wholesale customers will also have to pick up their orders.

I have rearranged some of the .50 caliber shooters and from five of the .50
caliber positions have created 15 new .30 cal (or smaller caliber if you
want) positions at the west end of the .50 caliber ghetto. From these
positions you will be able to shoot at some of the 380 yard targets as well
as all of the 575 and beyond targets.



If you want one of the positions send me an email with your phone number,
your name, and the names of up to two other people. These additional people
must be designated as either spotters (no charge) or shooters.  I will
respond within a day or two with your shooting position number (8A->11C are
currently available) and how to pay for the position.



These are available on a first come first serve basis.



If you have any questions don't hesitate to give me a call or send an email.

those are on the berm and one on the ground in the middle of the main
shooting area.

url=http%3a%2f%2fsurvey.boomershoot.org%2f> survey showed that enough people
were interested in reserved positions that I want to implement that before
accepting the entries.

The price will remain the same as last year. There were only a few in the
survey that disagreed with the statement that the price was reasonable and
one that strongly disagreed with the statement. But this last guy said he
thought the price should be $4000/person so it sort of balances out.

The Precision Rifle Clinic will be April 27th and 28th.

The hotel package option isn't going to happen this year. Too much work for
me to do at this time. Maybe next year. The survey did show some interest in
that. So you can go ahead and make your hotel reservations if you want.
Suggestions are

Sorry, but because there are multiple lists I am sending this to it's
certain some of you are getting multiple copies.

My way overdue survey for Boomershoot 2006 is now available:

http://survey.boomershoot.org/

It doesn't matter if you were there as a shooter, spotter, spectator, or
even if you just heard about the event and didn't attend. There is a survey
for everyone.

I want feedback of any type. But just because I'm listening doesn't mean
I'll change.  But I will consider it. And if you want to send an email or
give me a call that works for me too.

I plan to announce the dates and prices for Boomershoot 2007 sometime this
weekend.  Please get your survey results in before that.

Thanks.

Ozark Pyrotechnics in Missouri is putting on their first ever dynamite shoot

The Gateway-Unaweep (Colorado) Fire Department is putting on their
semi-annual dynamite shoot on May 6th:

http://www.acsol.net/~firedept/dynamite.html

Boomershoot will have more targets (several hundred) and more total
explosive weight (about 1000 pounds) but I'm certain these events will be a
blast compared to sitting at home and feeling sorry for yourself.

Jason M. recorded it and put it up for us.  It's wonderful.  It's only four
and a half minutes but it is great.  It's also enlightening to see how
professional video people deal with a subject with which I have often tried
to capture on video and repeatedly failed to produce something interesting.

Also of interest is the video being made of Boomershoot 2005.  It's $20.00
per video and available in VHS and DVD.  Send an email to Scott D. Davis

Boomershoot 2005 is less than five weeks away.  It should be the best
Boomershoot ever.  Last year we had a problem--we didn't know what the
problem was then but the target bodies we used made things much more
difficult to detonate.  We replaced them with something much easier to get
through.  We also make the mix more sensitive and a lot more powerful.  The
new targets will have the largest exposed face ever.  The targets will be
bright white, red, and yellow.  They will be easy to see and easier to talk
to your shooting partner into.  We have people from Alaska, California,
Canada, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico and North Dakota.  A
Seattle television show is sending a crew over to film it.  Several
freelance writers will be attending.

Now the bad news--there are just 19 shooting positions available.  Even with
the expanded shooting line I think we will sell out.  If you want to attend
you had best send in your entry NOW.  Why?  I just placed the ads for the
local media.  Local meaning all of north Idaho and from western Montana to
central Washington.  Previously entries for the event had only been from ads
on the Internet, repeat participants, and word of mouth referrals.  The
locals will start seeing it on Friday.  Get your entry in before that flood
hits.

And whether you are attending or not there is swag available.  For those of
you that don't know what swag is:

Or if you want to figure it out on your own:

handguns.  What they should fear the most, they haven't seen yet.

I got an email from Eugene Econ, the clinic instructor, today.  Details are
here:

http://www.boomershoot.org/2005/clinic.htm#Status

The most important bit of information is that he only has two slots open.

This is amazing.  The clinic going to be sold out by the third week of
January--nearly three and a half months prior to the event.  I've expanded
the number of shooting positions for the main event so I still have lots of
room there but if I hadn't it would be two thirds full now instead of one
third.  In absolute numbers I'm signing people faster than ever before.

I updated the blogger list here:

http://www.boomershoot.org/2005/blast.htm#Blogs

I attribute bloggers for the apparent increase in attendance.  Thanks
everyone.

Eugene Econ has released the details of the Boomershoot 2005 Precision Rifle
Clinic.  I invited him to make the clinic a two day event instead of just
one this year--Friday the 29th and Saturday the 30th.

Here is a snippet of the email he sent me:

----
I will run a clinic on the 29th if I can get at least ten folks to sign up.
30th for sure no matter how many sign up.

This year all profits are going to the 'Lancer Memorial Fund'.  This is a
501-C fund established by the 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Stryker
Brigade Combat Team) that I have been working for full time for the last 18
months.  You can read a description of this fund in my Clinic Bulletin.  The
purpose is good and unfortunately, the Brigade has sustained some casualties
that have kind of hit this fund pretty hard.

The clinic details are here:

And if for some reason you don't sign up for his clinic at least read what
Eugene has to say about gear to bring to the Boomershoot:

Another opportunity to shoot at some reactive targets is coming up here in a
few days.  See the message below.

Also we have finalized some of the Boomershoot Adventures stuff and are
doing a few on an experimental basis.  See http://www.boomershoot.com (.org
is for the usual Boomershoot event in the spring).

Subject: Gateway Dynamite Shoot: OCTOBER 2, 2004


News From the Gateway - Unaweep Fire Department

Hello all!

Can it be that the Dynamite Shoot in Gateway is almost here again!?!?

The CORRECT answer is "yes" and the action starts at 10:00 AM on October 2,
2004 (Saturday) in Gateway, Colorado.  Our community is certainly preparing
for another great event.

The shooting range has been greatly improved since the May shoot.  This
includes:

. Extra benches for the bench rest shooters
. ALL bench rest shooting areas are now covered under a new canopy
. Running Deer has been COMPLETELY REBUILT (you read right!)
. Pistol shoot has been moved next to Running Deer
. More volunteers
. Many improvements to our processes
. More volunteers to assist in sales and support

We are getting ready for our guests and here is a list of what we still need
from you:

SAFETY:  Please be aware of all safety issues.  When you are not on the line
preparing to shoot or shooting your gun chamber MUST be empty, your muzzle
must be POINTED UP and your finger OFF the trigger.

AGE: Any shooter aged 14 or under must have a current Hunter Safety Card and
be under the supervision of an adult.

SPOTTING SCOPES: Our Fire Department does not own many of these things.
Please understand that if you are shooting at the distance targets you may
have to be responsible for your own spotting scope too!!!!  Very often many
of our patrons have their own that they let others use and this is greatly
needed and appreciated.  Please consider helping everone out by letting
others use yours!

SUGGESTIONS: We will have a suggestion box located near the ticket area.
Any ideas you have on how we can improve this event are greatly valued.

SUPPORT: Of course, your continued support is always appreciated!!!

Note that posting of political banners, flyers, etc is not allowed at this
event unless it has been approved by our board prior to the event.

Note too that the Range Boss is the final referee of all shooting events,
guns, rules, interpretations, targets, etc. The Range Boss' decision is
final.

Remember that the Gateway Community Club will be serving breakfast until
they run out of food and, likewise, the Gateway School will be serving
burgers, hot dogs and refreshments.

That's it.  See you in a few days!

-The Gateway - Unaweep Fire Department

PS: This is an alcohol and drug free event.  Always keep safety foremost in
all your actions and plans.

There are SIGNIFICANT discounts for early entries.  These discounts fade away
by the end of this year.  Get your entries in early for incredible deals on
this unique event.

http://www.boomershoot.org/2005/blast.htm

The target distributions haven't been decided yet.  That somewhat depends on
how many entries we get.  The final numbers will be decided by the time we
have to order supplies in the January/February timeframe.

There will be another Precision Rifle Clinic.  The details for that are not
yet available.  I will post them on the web and send out an announcement when
they become available.

Also note there are few more new pictures on this web page which I didn't
mention in my last email:

http://www.boomershoot.org/2004/Preparation.htm

The Boomershoot 2004 video is available now.  It is in documentary form, is
getting great reviews, and is far more factual than anything Michael Moore has
done.  Contact scottddavis [at] idahovandals [dot] com if you would like a
copy.

Sorry but some of you will get two copies of this.  If you signed up for the
announcement list and participated in the last event you qualify for this
special treatment.  The 2004 participant list will be destroyed after this
email goes out so you won't need to worry about getting rid of the
duplicates for a while.

I've been up all night and finally have the Boomershoot 2004 pictures and
After Action Report from the Precision Rifle Clinic up on the web site.

See http://www.boomershoot.org/2004/blast.htm for links.

I have set the dates for the next event, April 30 and May 1.  I don't have
the details available yet but when I do I will send an email out to the
announcement list.  There will be discounts available for early sign ups.
