More Boomershoot Prep

Posted on April 16, 2010 by Alaska

2010 Will Be The Best Boomershoot Yet

Posted on March 22, 2010 by Alaska

…for me, at least, regardless of how well I shoot, because it’s 99.9% certain now that my wife will be attending. I’d thought this might be the year my Zoroastrian friend would show up, too, but alas, it’s not to … Continue reading →
