From National Treasure Joe Huffman:
Boomershoot 2020 is five weeks away and COVID-19 infections are still increasing across the country. I’ve had several people tell me they are not coming this year. Many states, including Idaho, have travel and social contact restriction.
I’m canceling Boomershoot 2020.
As the title says. And as if I needed another reason to hate the ChiComs.
Apart from the disappointment of the thing, this also means that I’m faced with two choices:
- delay the raffle for the Hawkeye/Zeiss setup until after next year’s Boomershoot, or
- hold the raffle, send the rifle off, and have another raffle for Boomershoot 2021.
It’s going to be 2.
So I’m going to finish sighting in the Ruger (setting it up for a 200-yard zero rather than a 400-yard zero as originally planned), and making sure which ammo it “prefers”, before holding the raffle and sending it off (probably towards the end of May, in case the ranges haven’t opened before then — another reason to curse this fucking virus). I’ll keep everyone informed, of course.
I’m still mad as hell / disappointed…
