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.
And it’s a great honor to meet you, sir. Thanks for the coffee and the pig in a blanket. And rigging it up so I could snap off a few rounds. Next time I’m going to duct tape one of those 50 calibers to the arm of my chair and have at ‘em. Have chair, will travel.
There is always next year, Sarge. You and your bride will probably have a great time.
Bryan (Hubby) liked it so much that we're returning for the next one as well.
Two years of gentle, subtle nagging paid off! LOL!
That explains the strange phone call I got this evening...
Thank YOU for all your hard work and your ability to herd cats! :)
I wish I had gotten more shooting pics, but it was not easy with the tablet. I look forward to seeing everyone else’s pictures!
Windflier! Where were you? I wanted so much to meet you.
Sigh... Maybe next year?
It was a fantastic time...and it was SO good to get to meet you and do some fun stuff together with y’all! Thanks for coming...see ya next time! :)
Hi Lady. I had posted some time back that we weren’t able to handle the trip financially, so we’d have to skip this year’s meet up. We’re going to have a better year in 2013, so I hope to make the next one.
Thanks for looking for me. I did want to meet you too. Next time!
Oh he didn’t make it...but his WAAAAAAAH did! ;)
Thank you for all your hard work, the cooking, the cat herding, the rasseling and roping, the waiter beating, the excellent planning and the dead-eye shooting.
Yer a wonder, TheMom! Whatta woman!
Will get my pictures on the thread on Tuesday night or Wednesday. I left the little doohickey that downloads pix from my old camera at home, so I can’t post them until I get there. Hubby’s camera also has pix held hostage, and he has to hold his camera next to his computer to get them downloaded.
Sigh... Wednesday!!
And thanks a million again.
Ooooooo....Elgin!!...gotta know!!!
It was wonderful meeting you and Onyx this time ‘round and I hope there’ll be many more times to have fun, food and firearms together! :)
I am updating my resume, adding that I have a degree in cat herding. ;-)
Hi, there! Soooo good to meet you and your hubby and to have
a chance to get to know you! I knew I’d like you! :)
Also...thanks for the lovely gift of the pretty soaps! I can hardly wait to use mine. They smell so good! :)
It was a FReeping good shoot, mom! Thank you for everything! we all had a great time!
THAT should get you into any job you want! :)
It was great meeting you as well, dear one.
*awh shucks* (Except for the dead-eye shooting part. If the world every gets attacked by dirt we will be safe)
I was great meeting you and Bryan. I am glad that he enjoyed himself. And thank you for the soap ~ I promise that I will actually use “some” of them.
But is it a job I want?
Picky, picky, picky!!
:D
It was fantastic meeting you. Hope we can make the next one.
Heh heh heh
The Trooper we spoke with for a spell at mile marker 544 was a pretty nice chap...
