Boomershoot is a legendary long-range, high-power precision rifle shooting event. Participants fire at high-explosive reactive targets placed up to 700 yards away across the rugged terrain of North Central Idaho.
Hundreds of targets packed with a literal ton of high explosives wait in the field — and it’s your bullet that sets them off. At distances up to 700 yards, each solid hit sends a column of smoke and dust towering 20 to 50 feet into the Idaho sky, and the concussive thump arrives a moment later, felt as much as heard. The day opens with a spectacular fireball detonated just 100 feet away — $450 worth of chemistry and fire — to remind everyone exactly what they came for. Shooters travel from across the globe for that singular combination of precision, patience, and raw power. It’s adrenaline, precision, and spectacle colliding in the open air.

“I don’t know why everyone does not share my delight with explosives. If they don’t, it has to be some abhorrent character defect.”

A Magic Kingdom for Long Range Shooters
“By creating a sort of Walt Disney-like world where ‘magic’ happens, I give the shooter an escape from reality. This is a Magic Kingdom for long range shooters. For one day I give them the keys to the Kingdom where they get to perform their own magic.”
