46 positions have been filled. There are 14 positions remaining. But I also know of several entries that are “in the mail”. If I have not acknowledged your entry yet and you sent it before March 10th please let me know. I think I am all caught up now but it’s possible I have an entry laying around someplace that I didn’t find on my first pass through the stack of papers on my desk.
I’m asking everyone that will be shooting a .50 BMG to let me know in the next few days. Even if you have already told me before I would like another email. I need to allocate spaces much more carefully this year and I need to make sure there is enough room for the .50 Caliber guys.
You probably haven’t noticed but the Boomershoot website is now on a very high bandwidth ‘pipe’. Videos, sound, and pictures should load much faster than before. Downloading Boomershoot History 2004 (~140 MBytes) is almost reasonable under certain circumstances.
Things still on my list of things to do:
- Buy a box of large plastic gloves for mixing the chemicals
- Buy the cardboard boxes for the target containers
- Figure out how many .50 BMG shooters I can handle
- Chose a winner for the t-shirt slogan
- Create the t-shirt images for Boomershoot 2006

Well, so far, I simply can’t attend.
Money’s tight and I’ve been looking for a new job (while avoiding a return to the hell of law firms). The one I was holding out for, that seemed a sure thing, rejected me for reasons that are so far unclear (but have already caused a number of folks who weighed in on my behalf to raise hell, much thanks to them).
Got word on Monday that it fell through, by Wednesday I had 3 7 new prospects lined up (when it rains, it pours it seems) and have 3 interviews scheduled for next week. If I land a new job within the next 2 weeks I can probably make it, otherwise, I’ll have to defer to next year.
There are only 11 positions left now.
The gloves and boxes have been ordered.
