I just found out that the annual "Boomershoot" in Idaho is happening again, and I'm thinking about heading out there next April. The basic idea would be to load up the Jeep with rifles (and any friends who can get time off work) and head off across the US, visiting folks from the Axiom board and anyone with good four-wheeling along the way and back.
EDIT -- hold on, that doesn't sound right. The "rifles" and the "visiting folks from the Axiom boards" have nothing to do with each other. I'm not planning a shooting spree across the American midwest, that's so 1930s
The basic premise of Boomershoot is pretty simple -- it's basically a long range rifle competition with the added twist of reactive targets. "Reactive" means they go "boom" when you hit them, ranging from a small bang and a big puff of smoke to big greasy fireballs.
http://www.boomershoot.orgThe Axiom owners Frappr map seems to take forever to load on dial-up, so other than Randy I don't yet know who would be on the route, but I'm tossing this out in case anyone feels up to a visit in April.
The attached map shows the shortest route -- I would probably stay fairly close to that route going one way, then for the other leg either go down through Colorado or up through Canada. I would like to avoid that long drive through Nebraska though, it gets old really fast. Nebraska is BIG. Anyways, here's the route :
