Gun of the Blue Stripe Tent (Position 20, I think)

Note the duct tape on the butt to fine-tune the cheekweld. A serious shooter’s rifle. Any info appreciated.

Some cardboard short-range sight-in targets are visible at upper left. At upper right, they’re starting to get ready to set off the anvil.

At the Entrance to the .50 Cal. Ghetto (note the Knoxx SpecOps Stock)

The professional-looking fellows at this position were very friendly and noticed my interest in the middle rifle in this pic. It wears a Knoxx SpecOps recoil-reducing stock. There was an article published in The Varmint Hunter magazine just prior to Boomershoot describing a version of the Knoxx stock on a Howa 1500 in .223, resulting in the shooter being able to see bullet strikes. Useful for varmints and boomers alike! IIRC the rifle shown was a Remington 700 action, but I don’t remember the caliber.

Peeking out beyond the heads of these fellows, at the far left-hand end of the firing line, lurk the full-auto guys and their toys. More about them later.

The Guns of Boomershoot

I finally developed my 19 rolls of film from the trip. Cost to burn ’em directly to CD at Target: $9.99 per roll. At Costco: $2.99 per roll. I went with Costco. Of course, next year I’ll just bring a digital camera instead.

I’ll get into the details of my Boomershoot Odyssey later, because I know what you really want to see is the guns:

Firing Line Looking Up from Position 33.jpg

LOTS and LOTS of photos coming up…. All photos taken with a fifteen-year-old Pentax IQZoom WR-90 and ASA 400 Fujifilm from Wallyworld.
UPDATE: okay, I seem to be exceeding bandwidth left and right. I’ll try uploading the pics to flickr and post them from there, we’ll see if that works.
