It's pretty crowded.
Having just been there once and talked to the owners for awhile, I'm
about ready to cast a provisional ballot for it being my new favorite.

The planning stages for TCMS XI are in the works. At this point the plan is to hold the event in October 2016. (Yes, I know that is a looonnnggg way away!) The range we are considering is Hiciksville Range, in Gatesville. The closest lodging we could find is in Whitney.
We have already had one recon trip, which was not very productive due to heavy rains. The entire recon crew checked out one of the places we are considering staying. The majority of us fell in love with the place, even though it was a gloomy weekend. It made for some fun joking about being the perfect place to film a horror movie, especially with the creepy & trashy road to the resort. We all agreed that the pavilion was awesome; it is big enough to hold all of us without bumping into each other.
NYTexan & BuckeyeTexan checked out the other place. I liked it from looking at their website, but was not impressed with the pictures that Buckeye sent me. She & I are going to do another recon so that I can see it in person. There is also one more location we will look at. The one negative for both of those places is the size of their pavilions ~ we need lots of room to move & mingle.
Next week Eaker, humblegunner and I are going to Hicksville Range for a look see and discuss pricing.
Stay tuned for more info . . .
HOYH!!!! Reservation made & deposit paid. So now we wait a year for the awesomeness to commence.
They taught me in blog school to develop a distinctive writing style. ;-)
Excellent! Everyone always has a good time, true story.
We are always thrilled to have FReepers join us for the first time. You will have a great time ~ Guaranteed!
Looking forward to seeing you & the Mrs. again.
Heck yeah. Would be fun to watch folks play.
Looking forward to seeing you and eating your delicious food. I will always vote for the brisket first! If you feel you need to prepare a second choice, I’d go with gumbo.
You were missed at the last shoot, but everyone understood why you couldn’t make it. I have a lot of respect for you for putting the Vets first. You’re a good man Charlie.
Surfing the internet for hours is a difficult job, but someone has to do it. LOL!
Hope you & the Mrs. will be able to make the trip down.
Thanks, ‘Gunner!
I like ‘em! They do look homey and I know we’ll have a great time, as usual! Looking forward to it!
You can sleep well at night knowing that you helped save the lives of vets. You’re awesome!
I was a pharmacy tech 20 years ago before they had certified techs. I worked with some good retail RPh’s, but the best were always from the hospitals. Before we had DUR checking, I saw many a hospital RPh save a life by preventing a life-threatening interaction or incorrect dosage. Y’all know your business, and no, it ain’t just counting pills.
Looking forward to seeing you again.
I need to post my pics. Couldn’t get anyone to venture out in a canoe during the tsunami. I even brought my own inflatables. (Well, mylife’s actually.)
I’ll bring some fishin’ poles too.
Rifles, pistols, BBQ, whiskey and cigars is pretty much a guaranteed good time.
Cool!

Addendum:
Per the owners: Tannerite, full auto, .50 cal.. all OK.
Also blowing stuff up is fine so long as we clean up the pieces.
