August 31rst the 5th Saturday in August, Tmm will be holding our 2nd annual boomtown shoot!
I have been told I'm long winded in my post!
So I'll try to do this a little at a time!
Goal of BOOMTOWN is to give all the experiences of a big shoot in a fast fun 1 day shoot !
What I enjoy at a big multi day shoot, is first off seeing freinds I don't necessarily see every month, catching up and enjoying their company a day before the match.
In an effort to do that we will have dry camping on the range, bring your own power, there is water on site for holding tanks.
The good doctor who owns the farm has the big house for rent 150$ a night.
1 bedroom with queen size bed , 2 other rooms with 2 twin bed each.
Nice place, huge living room and kitchen.
It will accommodate 6 fine, 25$ each.
A group of good freinds could easily do 10 with air mattresses.
Party Friday night!
With that in mind if we have enough people on range, I always enjoy someone like Tombstone inviting everyone to a meal, or a potluck!
Slow Jen and I don't go out to eat much, but loved spending ti.e with everyone at Ambush, when we went to a local restaurant.
Any interest let me know.
When it comes to the actual match, I enjoy matches that are fast with a variety of scenarios, no long running, no p traps, no muscle memory cuteness.
6 straightforward fast stages, with wide range of sweeps is what will have at Boomtown.
Other things I enjoy at big matches, are the side matches.
Speed pistol , rifle, shotgun, ect....
Hard to do and run in a 3 day match!
Boomtown will have a side match that all will participate in!
Side match!
As I said earlier we will all shoot the side match!
Stage 6 will be the side match, we all shoot in the posse rotstion.
Stages 1 thru 5 will be the scored match for category, and top guns
6th stage will be auditions for Hurricanecharly s WILD WEST SHOW, head liners!
Everyone I shoot with, 8 to 80, blind cripple or crazy CAN SHOOT!
Stage 6 will be fun, things most people don't get to do or try, you will surprise your self!!!
Sooooo...... :o the cutoff point is 80???? :-\
You are sharp as a tack!
There is no expiration date on cowboys!
Glad you chimed in Critter!
You have been on my mind, what do you think about a red , white and blue cowboy hat category in honor of labor day, I got mine?
Sounds like the hat may develop a cult following! 8)
Charly, if there is still room I'd like to come shoot. I've never been able to make it to TMM but always wanted to.
Sounds like fun.
Randy
Would love to have you Randy!!
Critter or anyone else know where to get red white and blue cowboy hats?
Got mine at Wally world around 4th of July.

Sounds fair and quick turn around I'll like it up.
Like to save my red white and blue hat for shelf seeins as it's made out of Budweiser box.
Thanks for info Slim.
Update: between 90 to a 100 cowboys and cowgirls shooting at Boomtown Saturday ( big crowds make it more exciting).
Still looking for 3 or 4 more shop type fans, quiet generator, someone with truck and small trailer to pick up tables and chairs Thursday morning at Too Talls business and bring to range, help Thursday rigging tarps ect and help setting stages Friday morning.
Let me know if you can help with any of this.
Thanks Hurricanecharly.
Ps Curly Bill is coming to shoot with us, if you have guns needing fixing bring them he will be available before and after the match( he would like to shoot and have fun during the match!)
Several folks have messaged me that are just starting or are wanting to get in the sport and are looking for guns and gear.
Told them about the cowboy yard sale Saturday, if you have cowboy gear for sale bring it.
Charlie I have a large shop fan if you need it..
