Use fast travel.

The only thing you have control over is your rep and doing their quests. While completing such should stop the shooting (I think you need confirmation from Pearl on this) it may not for a variety of reasons, not limited to script triggers with other factions/quests, npcs in the area as well as it being reported as a bug, with no real fix.

Most any hacks with console aren't worth it (e.g. closing House Wins quest etc). If you can't solve the problem it would be best to just fast travel, do your business with them and get out.

Don'y wear any faction oriented armoer while aaproaching their shooting range.

Check you apparel. If you are wearing any Legion, any NCR, or Brotherhood of Steel armor, you will be shot by the Boomers. Wear your Vault suit if you still have it. Also have you checked

The Van Graffs are a faction the Boomers don't like. Stowe both somewhere and use any armor or clothing not identified with any faction in the game.

Brotherhood of Steel.
Caesar's Legion.
Great Khans.
NCR.
Followers of the Apocalypse.
Boomers.
Powder Gangers.
White Glove Society.

If you've already talked to the Boomer at the gate, have Raquel lead you to Pearl, and agreed to Pearl's request to help the Boomers around the area, the artillery should no longer fire at you.

The artillery no longer fires at you or your companions, no matter what. So I assume what you're experiencing is a bug.

The artillery still fires at everything else that comes in range, so maybe there's an NPC nearby your position who's triggering it. I read on the wiki that if the gate is open, sometimes the Mini Boomers (the children who live at Nellis) can wander outside and will trigger the artillery (they won't get hurt by it though, children are invincible in this game) which might confuse the game and lead to artillery being fired again, including against you if you're in range. Normally it shouldn't, though, it's a game error in that case.

IIRC, there's a bug about this problem wrote in the wiki, Boomer page. Like if player enter Boomer's bomb field by unlock the tunnel from opposite side, they will continue to shoot even player entered their base.... It's pretty long ago so i can't remember.
