And so begins our annual 7th TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot.
Thank you humble gunner for the graphic.
TexasCowboy (aka COB1) was a true Texas gentleman, great friend, patriot, and a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment. It is truly an honor to continue a tradition he started many years ago, hosting shoots for FRiends around the great state of Texas.
Many FReepers are coming into town on Thursday so that they can have a tourist day on Friday. Those lucky people are going to be made (a good) miserable Thursday evening by enjoying TheMom’s Kick Ass Enchilada’s.
The only set tourist place is The Lady Lex.
Friday evening we will meet at Captain Benny’s, 103 Fulton Beach Road Fulton, TX 78382, at 8:00 p.m., for a delicious seafood dinner. (They do not take credit cards or serve liquor ~ so remember to bring your cash & booze.)
Saturday morning we meet for breakfast at Alice Faye’s, 910 North Fulton Beach Road, Fulton, TX 78358, at 8:00 a.m. The shoot is scheduled to start at 10:00 a.m. at, Schwenke’s Gun & Pistol Range, 4407 FM 1069 Aransas Pass, TX, 78336. Mr. Schwenke has reserved the 25 yard shooting station for our group to use as “home base”. The only major rule at this range is do not shoot the livestock. A BBQ lunch will be served at 12:30ish.
Once the shooting is done some of us will be going to the Rockport Seafair, while others will go back to the Pelican Bay cottages for some R&R. Saturday evening will be filled with yummy junk food and margaritas!
According to the forecast, it looks as the weather will be perfect. Lows in the mid-sixty’s, highs in the mid-eighty’s.
Mmmm...now I’m hungry! :)
We did miss you!
You’re such a kind man, NYT! Bryan and I will be very happy to see you and your lovely wife again.
That would be great. We have to get busy and throw the bum out! If only so that you can attend the Shoot. ;-)
Who? Heck, I'd like ta meet her too!
Cottage #7 is booked. 6/6 to 6/9.
We tried to book our arrival for 6/5, but the Texas Cowboy discount wouldn’t have applied to the entire stay(!!!!!), so we’re going to sleep at another motel the first night and check in on 6/6, LOL!
Ya know ... if you move to Texas, you’ll be residing in the same state with me. Might cause the poles to shift or somethin’
;P
You could always spend your time on 6/6 in Fort Worth...
Woohoo!! You and Bryan are coming!!
We are gonna be ‘neighbors’ too. We have cabin 6!
Ok. You convinced me. I’ll have the brisket! Will any kind of oak wood do ya? I have tons and tons on my property.
The Coon Ass wedding sounded fun and the grooms mom is a smart woman.
You made my mouth water with all that darn food talk. ;-) If I get a vote, I’d rather have Creole.
Thanks again for volunteering to cook, it is much appreciated. Don’t worry about side dishes, I have no doubt between all the of us we can whip up a few extras.
OMGosh, Tex! You, Nully, and Gunner in the same state? Armageddon...
I gotta be there for that!
FYI: Their website shows cottage #3 as available and that cottage #4 is reserved.
I hope Allegra can make it next time. I was really disappointed that I didn’t get to meet her. (I understood why she couldn’t make it though.)
That’s because I reserved #4 and not #3. What can I say ~ I’m not very good with numbers.
Great! Any help is appreciated.
Someone make sure I’m in there somewhere, k? I’ll pay my fair share; I ain’t no liberal. lol
You’ll never get nully to go anywhere he has to endure gunner and me in the same place at the same time. He’d prolly rather have his toenails pulled out one by one. Of course, he might also prefer a little target practice with me down range. Heh.
Not a problem. Texas law provides for just such a situation: Your Honor, he needed killin’...
Ok then. I read the reviews on their website and someone complained that their cottage was switched on them...
