"Every year we have soldiers from Fort Lewis come to Boomershoot to help teach people marksmanship. Some of those soldiers have been wounded and killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Soldiers Angels helped Joe Huffman's nephew who lost an arm and an eye in Iraq. This is a worthy cause for all of us to support this year through our raffle proceeds."
Raffle tickets will sell for $1.00 each, 12 for $10.00, & 25 for $20.00.
50 / 30-10-10 50% to support Soldiers Angels and 30%-10%-10% raffled to three lucky participants.
Boomershoot memorabilia to be raffled includes:
| Boomershoot Mugs |
| Item’s / Donations from participants |
All participants are encouraged to bring an item or two for the Raffle to help support Soldiers Angels.
Dinner guests should arrive early on Saturday evening for check-in as we will be issuing the Boomershoot Entrant Name Badges for you to wear during dinner.
Non-Boomershoot entrants will be issued guest badges at this time.
All issued badges must be worn during dinner so everyone will know your name.
During the Saturday evening dinner check-in, you should be prepared to recite the Safety Rules of the event. Reciting these Safety Rules is “Mandatory,” we take range safety extremely seriously. Failure to recite these “Safety Rules” means no Entrant Badge issued.
Knowing the Safety Rules at Dinner and picking up your Boomershoot badge on Saturday night rewards you with not having to stand in line on Sunday morning in whatever weather we might be having (Rain, Snow, Wind, and Hail) to recite the Safety Rules and acquire your badge then.

High Intensity
The High Intensity events will be on Friday and Saturday evenings at about 1630. This will allow the main event to run a little longer and to have more targets.
This is what High Intensity is all about:
| Boomershoot 2006 -- via Ry |
| Boomershoot 2007 -- via Jason |
| Boomershoot 2007 -- via Random Nuclear Strikes |
| Boomershoot 2007 -- via Thumper242 |
There is a limit of 50 people total that may participate in each event. This allows us to limit the number of targets I have to allocate and still give people a chance to get "their fair share".
Shooters are guaranteed a minimum of five targets each there. The price is $50 for each shooter.
If you want to participate in a High Intensity event click a check box for one or both of the High Intensity events when you enter.
Minimum Gun Safety Rules
| Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. |
| Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. |
| Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. |
| Always keep the gun in its case unless the muzzle is pointed downrange and within two feet of the shooting line. |
These are the bare minimum rules which you must follow while at the event. You MUST have them memorized. Please read the additional rules and clarifications.
