Today, I moved 2,000 pounds of chemicals from my brother’s shed to the Boomershoot explosives production facility:
There are some chemicals left over from 2025 so there will be plenty of targets this year.
I also inventoried other supplies, checked the functioning of the mixers, scales, and timers. I’m going to have to purchase two new heat guns. They are used to heat the shrink wrap plastic used to keep the targets (cardboard boxes) closed and dry. The last heat gun has reached it’s end of life.
It is going to be another great event. Boomershoot is the first weekend of May and is only four weeks away.
Sign up here.
I thought you had troubles in the past with chemicals not maintaining their integrity from year to year and the booms being wimpy?
If the potassium chlorate cakes up, there can be problems. But we found a food processor breaks it up just fine.
Sounds neat!
I’d love to attend, but I can’t make the time this year – hopefully next year! I’m about a 10 hour drive away.
Good times, Joe. Bob and I haven’t been over in several years now, but I recall those multiple years that we DID attend quite fondly!
