« Best Boomershoot video | Main | Quote of the day--Frédéric Bastiat »

As Ry mentioned he pitched an idea to me today. For Boomershoot 2008 he suggested two things:

  1. We dispose of the farce known as "cleanup" where people shoot the "leftover" targets from 25 yards away. In actuality I hold back 150 to 200 targets just so people get a chance to do that. Instead we do that in a more formal manner on a different day and give people more targets especially for that.
  2. We do a 1000 yard event for the few, the arrogant, those that say the existing Boomershoot is too easy. Utilizing the existing targets, four and seven inches square boxes, we separate the "men from the boys" by separating the targets from the shooters by 1000 yards. We do this on a different day and perhaps a different location. It could be called 1000 yard Monday or some such thing.

I'm interested. It could work. And as Ry pointed out, it's in keeping with my original intent for Boomershoot. I need to find 1000 yards that can handle five or ten shooters. And I need to confirm my potential new supplier of ammonium nitrate. We'll be making and using more HE.
