After the cleanup, some of the staff "found" a box of targets that had not been consumed.  This is an extremely short edit of what we did with those targets.  I couldn't decide which edit I liked better, so I posted all three.

2005

Boomershoot 2005 was great.  I pretty much wore the video camera around my neck for three days hoping I might record something interesting.  Here are a few highlights:

The KING5 Evening magazine Story  about the Boomershoot aired on NWCN last night (May 11, 2005).

2004

Rolf was my shooting partner in the Precision Rifle Clinic.  Rolf has a Barrett 82A1/M107 and he generously let me put a 10 round magazine through it.  This rifle is definitely on my wish list, but at $2 to $3 per round for the cheap stuff (surplus machinegun ammo), I probably couldn't afford to keep it fed.  This is one of my favorites videos, I just hadn't posted it before.

I also did some Boomerhunting that year.
