Says it can do 152cm. But isn't drilled for it?

Nah, the holes dont match up on purpose. The first hole is 152, the 2nd is 154. Pull the boom out all the way and youll probably see the extra holes.

Maybe I'm not measuring right; but 154 is as short as it will go?

Pull the boom all the way out and measure the distance between the first and last holes, then you can see if the mast will extend the range it says. Then you can live with it.

The holes next to each number are not where the pin goes to set the boom at that length.

Fully collapsed (ie no hole necessary because the tailpiece is not being held in an extended position) is 152.

The 154 marking is probably correct. The hole that the pin goes in to extend the boom that length can be found next to the marking for 156.

The holes next to each number are not where the pin goes to set the boom at that length.
