Boomershoot 2012 AAR

Boomershoot 2012:
Saturday, set up and dial in the rifles to 380 yards. Blam away with the 300 RUM, FAL, AR-15.
Hit the steel gongs more often than not, so I'm thinking good to go. Retired for the day and went back to the motel for a steak dinner.
Sunday, excellent weather. Sun and gentle breezes in the morning. Targets have been set up. 3" targets @ 380 yards, 6" target @ 680 yards. After 40 shots, I discover the scope rings are loose on the FAL. I put the FAL away and break out the 300 RUM. After 25 rounds, I get a bad shoulder set and the RUM slams into my shoulder at the same time I hit a Boomer. OK, that's it for me. I park my butt in the observers chair while Tumbleweed goes at it. 3 Boomers later, I'm, starting to hate him.
Not satisfied with humiliating me with his superior marksmanship, he breaks out his M1A and starts slamming on a steel gong from a distance of 680 yards, over iron sites.
All in all, it was great fum, if ever so humbling.

View of the field, targets are placed on the close berm and up the hillside. Ranges are WAG, some say 725 at top. I dialed 7 on the M1A and held just a tad low to hit.
View of the hillside, that top silhouette stands out when contrasted against the dirt. I couldn't see the little boxes of boomerite, just the 3 contrasted silhouettes. There were a few more but too well blended in the background for this old nekkid eye to pick up.
