AR10T, Boomershoot is almost always the last weekend of April or first weekend of May, depending on how the calendar falls. Next year it is scheduled for April 26-28, with a Precision Rifle Clinic the first 2 of those days.
You can register for the Precision Rifle Clinic now at http://boomershoot.org/ but I'm not sure if they are taking registrations for Sunday Boomershoot yet. Typically that doesn't happen until late August or early September. We make every effort to limit the number of people in the Clinic to 4 shooters per instructor if possible, so registering early guarantees a spot, and helps us arrange to have the proper number of instructors there (otherwise you might get stuck with me!). I know that we already have had people register for both Field Fire (without firing line instruction, although you can sit in on the meetings) and the Clinic with firing line instruction.
There is not another class of this type, with this kind of instruction and level of instruction, for this cost, anywhere west of the Mississippi that I can find (maybe not in the whole country!). Similar classes usually run at least 3-4 times the cost. The instructors are first rate, and real world guys who have LOTs of experience shooting at the National and International levels.
Anette Wachter, who won the Lt. Governors Trophie at the BC Open matches in British Columbia, only the 2nd woman and 1st American woman to do so, was there this year. She has always been an open sight shooter, so using a scope at long range was a new experience for her. She said, "I will drag as many people as I can for next year. Even without the camera crew following me I plan on going back." (She and her team member were being filmed for ESS Eyewear for a promotional video.)

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
