Hundreds of reactive targets will be used, varying from eight ounces to two pounds of high
explosives -- enough to be heard five miles away, causing cars and house walls

recreational pleasure of guns and explosives. He is also a certified firearms
instructor and has an ATF license to manufacture high explosives.

Major (Retired) Gene Econ, formerly an Officer in the US Army Special Forces. Econ is currently a marksmanship instructor for the

Shooters and spectators from across the country
are expected to attend Boomer Shoot, including law enforcement officers,
scientists, engineers, members of the Boeing Pistol & Rifle Club, and
Microsoft Gun Club. Others are gun rights activists, such as Stephanie Sailor,
who ran for U.S. Congress in ’00 an ’02 as a third
party candidate (www.SailorVsTheMachine.com).
“Thrill-seekers come from all walks of life,” says Sailor. "The Boomer Shoot is like the 4th of July in May. It’s good, clean, fun.”
In addition to being a certified firearms instructor, Sailor
works in the pharmaceutical industry and is a freelance web designer.
