We made and people detonated over 500 boomers today. Most of them were from about 20 yards away.
People seemed to have a good time. I just feel tired.
Alan made a lot of the explosives. Kevin Baker showed up around noon. Without having permission from the ATF I had him doing more mundane things like folding cardboard boxes into the proper shape and sweeping off the anti-static rug that goes inside the explosives magazine.
I was a bit concerned about Bonnie doing her first long range shooting at the Precision Rifle Clinic today. I saw her at lunch and asked. She reported things were going well and had only missed (steel targets, not boomers) three shots and that she was having a lot of fun. Great!
Derek is also a new boomer shooter and it’s pretty clear from the pictures and video that he is having a good time.
(*cough*) Uh, Joe? You’ve got the wrong link for Bonnie in the post.
And my wife will never believe you got me to sweep anything.
Thanks. I’ve fixed the link.
I appreciate the effort you put into stepping out of character. Hope that didn’t scare you off from participating in boomer construction.
Hmmm…it’s still linking to Kevin.
I’m still sorry I missed Thursday, but next year? I’m building boomers. This was so much fun, and I’m glad you guys got me to come out there.
It finally took after the third try.
Sorry about that.
