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.
Pix upthread ping.
Finally, a pic of LUV W! What was she doing, avoiding the camera all weekend?
Pictures are up.
YOU.
LOST.
FIVE.
POUNDS.
.... I hate you.
LOL I had to look twice or three times but that one shot of me with The Old Lady and hunnybunny of hers, looks like my zipper is open. It’s not, it’s just the sun shining on The Monster. LOL
(Why yes, Evil Laz is back. Why do you ask?) lol
Luv is such a social butterfly, it is hard to get a picture of her.
Herding cats is a strenuous job.
Sure was! Next year I'd like to come up with an intelligent rig that allows you unlimited and unsupervised shooting.... I know I can come up with something!
....uh, might have to keep you off the .50 Desert Eagle, though. I’m a big boy and even I had some trouble with that. WAAAAHHHHHH!! :)
THAT'S your weight-loss secret.
Okay, okay, I love you again. :)
My belly button is STILL puckering and unpuckering.
TMI, I know. :P

It was great to see you and The Mrs. again. It was also a pleasant surprise to see you on the road.
I think that was one of the best aspects of the trip.
Just settin' on the porch with my buds, both far & near.
I was a thin and hungry man, but the truth is, after my last train-wreck of a live-in girlfriend, I just let it all go. Ate and ate and stopped working out. This is the result of 18 months of that.
Keep an eye out for next year’s pictures. That’s gonna change. :)
Looking back over the years this seems to be a pattern. You might want to go running in the Southern Heat, took a lot off of me as did my girl friend in Meridian, Miss, should have married her.
Thanks!
I just got home.
I hear ya, but I am a walker, not a runner.
I love the weight rooms. And I love to swim. Put me on some machines or a pool before 8:00AM and *I* am a HAPPY MAN.
