View from the Berm

Another picture from Boomershoot, this time taken from the berm immediately behind my shooting position. You can see the two rifles my spotter and I were using in the foreground, and all the way down to the target area.

If you click the link to view the larger picture, there's a small white spot in the center of the hill, which is probably somewhere between 550 and 600 yards away. It was very useful as a range marker during the shoot -- except that it kept shrinking as the weather warmed. On the first day, it covered basically the whole hill. On the second, it covered maybe 100 yards of range from top to bottom. In this picture, maybe 15 yards, maybe less.

Friday fireball!

Here's a picture of Joe at Boomershoot trying to set off the fireball to start the festivities.

Believe it or not, that's supposedly a fizzle compared to what was supposed to happen.

Fizzle or not, it sure produced a lot of smoke. Smoke in general was a pretty common result of the activities... did I mention there was a bit of wind?

Driving to Boomershoot

I've finally gotten the boomershoot pictures extracted from the camera used to take them, so I'll be posting the pictures I took during the event over the next few days. Here's a preview... these two pictures were taken on the drive up to the boomershoot site from where my plane landed. Yes, there was some forewarning that there would be snow, despite the whole April thing.

Not the best possible pictures to be sure, but not too bad for being taken from a moving car after being awake for 24 hours straight already. These are basically just random pictures of countryside covered in snow... special only because of where I was headed when I took them.

I will say this: Idaho has a lot of beautiful scenery, and I feel like I drove through most of it.
