Quoted:
This was my 1st Boomershoot and before I comment let me say it was nice to see many strangers from all over having a good time doing a bit of long range shooting. We had a blast, been a long time since I reached out to 6-700 yards.
Some things I'd recommend are:
Starting on time.
A sore point for both of us.
A 15 minute warning before final cease-fire.
Excellent idea.
Checking into whether the mixture can be sensitized a bit more (yes I shoot .308).
It can be; the issue is failure mode and cost. There is a band where the mix gets very failure-prone below about 1350 fps - it needs to be carefully mixed. The failures tend towards the "bursts into robust fire" type; the careful mixing leads to very long prep times. That said, fewer "it just dumped all over the ground" failures is something we shoot for every year.
Description of the various shooting lanes. The prone only spots may surprise folks (it did us).
The entry website contains pictures from each lane, as well as describing the equipment required for each lane. That said, it took me a little bit just now to figure out where to get those pictures and descriptions. The pictures will be replaced with higher-resolution ones soon; what would you like the text to say?
A few more flags at 200, 350, and 500 yds.
certainly. the flags were the ones left over from the clinic - I realized, later, that we hadn't set out our flags. My mistake.
(Warm) clothing recommendations on the website/signup.
We can do more of that. I thought the day was fairly nice, but it ranged from freaking frigid to balmy as the day went on.
Thanks for showing up; if you think of anything else, let me know.
PS: Joe just posted some thoughts on
capacity as well; we're out of bandwidth for food, too.
