Looks like BoomerShooter is gone forever....

The website, which I check about once a month or so, now redirects to 1911fanatics.com
The admin of 1911Fanatics posted this 1/6:
We've merged another shooting community with 1911Fanatics.com - BoomerShooters.
They've been around for quite a while, and while their community slowed down has some amazing content we didn't want to lose, so we've merged the two, and hope we can help grow this 1911Fanatics forum even further. Welcome ALL!

My account and posts (all 11 of them) have been merged over as well.

Same here along with my posts as a mod since that forum started.
A couple of us tried to get it going again, but it never happened. Some folks kept posting negative comments for whatever reason that drove the new members away. Sounds like their goals were reached.

That must've been what the email I received from 1911 fanatics was about. I wasn't a member there, but I got an email from a user (who after a little digging on my end I found to be an admin) saying I had an account message. I just deleted the email and moved on.

Actually I forgot about that. I knew I had joined a couple 1911 forums when hunting for my Olyellered 1911, so I just assumed it was one of those.
Looks like I have another place to post my WTB.
That and Oklahoma Hunter, which I found tonight lol.

A lot of the so called new members over there seemed like bots to try to drum up traffic. A lot of the newer threads that were popping up over there seemed off the way they were typed up. I finally quit checking in over there all together because it had become a ghost town. Really enjoyed it over there during its prime.

I wish I hadn't missed it's prime. I always wanted one of those jerseys. I wish we'd do shooting jerseys.

I was a member but never could get into the swing of posting over there. Bummer. There is some good knowledge there.

It was a great forum to interact with the local area competition shooters and get some great insight. That forum was the reason I started shooting USPSA and Steel Challenge. Made a lot of friends at the matches.

At one time I was regularly shooting at least 4 matches a month USPSA & Steel Challenge at OKCGC, USPSA at H&H, and the conceal carry matches at the indoor range that used to be in Edmond.

Also was lucky enough to win some great prizes in the contingency program, one being a Nordic Components 9mm PCC that a grandson has proclaimed that he will inherit.

Yeah, I won a lot of great shooting gear while the contingency program was at its peak and made lots of new friends. The best was a Taccom 9mm PCC complete upper that’s a blast to shoot.
