The Progenitors of the KL7OF Tube Shoot
Steve W7BNZ - Steve KL7OF - Bob KA7WOC
For those who have enjoyed the photographs and attending the infamous KL7OF Tube Shoot, we hereby present the official record of the 5th annual event held Nov. 16 & 17 in Tumtum, WA.
On behalf of all the atendees, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Steve and his lovely XYL Jan for their warm hospitality and for hosting such a wonderful event in which primal examples of homo sapiens can be seen roaming the property blasting away with enbridled enthusiasm!
Our photographic presentation is a combination of this year's event and part of the 2006 Tube Shoot as well. The weather was a bit marginal and precluded doing the Anvil Blast this year. Photos of the Anvil Blast from last year are included on this year's page for your enjoyment.

Following this year's event, Steve - KL7OF went down range and took some pictures. As you can see, the weather had changed dramatically. As Steve puts it, here are some Hits & Misses!
|
 Heavily abused Prarrie Dog at 200 yards
|
 Obviously very popular - needs repair
|
 This one won't overheat again
|
 Slightly used, restorable - according to EBay standards
|
 Display may be a little fuzzy
|
 It just wasn't its day
|
 It's all in how you classify these things
|
 One hit - one miss
|
 Down...but not out
