A date and cabin locations have finally been chosen.
This year’s shoot will be October 18th. Once again it will be held in Seagoville, (5 miles south of Route 175 or 3.5 miles NE of I-45 (exit 270) on S. Belt Line Road). The plan at this time is to meet at Cotton Gin in Crandle for breakfast at 9:00 a.m., BUT they are currently closed due to a fire. Hopefully they will be reopened by October. If not, Plan B will be put in place. After breakfast we will all head to the range. A delicious lunch will be provided at the range by our wonderful FRiend cpdiii.
The cabins where we are staying are Miller Creek Ranch in Canton, TX. There is a map of the place Here
A block of cabins have been reserved under the name TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot. To reserve your cabin, call 866-488-6020 or 903-567-6020 They are reserved for Thursday the 16th through Sunday the 19th. Please let them know if you will arrive Thursday or Friday night. A $125.00 deposit is due at the time you make your reservation, with the balance due when you check in.
The cut off date for making your reservation is May 28th! Make reservations after that date at the risk of not getting a cabin.
The cabin numbers reserved for us are 10, 22, 24, 25, 77, 88, 89, 90, 92 and 102. #’s 22, 24, and 25 are called Executive Cabins with lofts, they are $185.00/night and sleep 4-6 people; #’s 10, 88, 89, 90 and 102 are Standard Cabins with lofts, they are $165.00/night and sleep up to 4 people; # 92 is a Standard Cabin without a loft and # 77 is handicapped accessible, those are both $150.00/night and sleep up to four. All the lofts, with the exception of #22, are only three feet high and each have two twin mattresses; the loft in #22 is five feet tall. Each cabin has a queen size bed and a queen size sleeper sofa.
No cars are allowed at the cabins, with the exception of the handicapped cabin. You can either use their concierge service to get to and from the cabins or rent a golf cart for $40.00/day. If you want to rent a golf cart it was suggested that you reserve one when making your reservation.
Extra cost included are a $5.00 resort fee (they normally charge this per day, but are only charging us a one time fee); Internet fee is $5.00/day.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in October!
Accolades and good cheer!
Thanks!
Woooooohooooooooo!!!!
Ecxellent! Clay should be on sale as it is Dove season.

You guys need to get me shooting like a master this year. For some reason I got targeted by ISIS online on Tweeter Friday night, along with Tammy Bruce and two others. Not sure why I got lumped in with it, as I wasn’t tweeting with any of them until after it happened.
One was a Huffington Post writer and big lib from what I could tell. It was mainly a spam block attempt, but we all had over 500 tweets from the savages in less than 20 minutes. The FBI is supposedly looking into it according to Tammy Bruce but it was a bit unnerving given their threats to target people in the states, etc.
I had two try it again today, but just blocked and reported them. Probably nothing to worry about in reality, but need to be shooting like Annie Oakley anyway...lol.
Help getting me up to speed would be appreciated!
You will LOVE tennis balls.
Believe me. They pop like 80 foot on the air and come back down for another shot.
We’ll get ya shoot’n straight and on target!
Sounds like fun! I might even spring for new glasses tomorrow so I can see them..lol. My glasses are so scratched up! Just been too preoccupied to take time to go get some more. Bringing my camera too so I can get some great pics!

Well I am serious about shooting this year. It has been too long since I felt really confident even holding a gun. Which is why I usually just hold my camera..lol.
