Recon trip update.
I’m reconsidering the time & place for the next shoot as there really isn’t a decent range in the Houston area.
Eaker & I met BaconMan at Hot Wells for a look see. The place has a lot of shooting bays, but it just seems to clinical. This would be a good place to sight in your guns, but not for a group event.
Jellystone was OK. Even though we were told that the Grand Lodge was on a private road that we couldn’t go down, that road was not marked and we drove down it. The lodge would have made a great party central. The park itself is very family orientated.
As much as I would like to somewhat recreate the first shoot ~ I just don’t see that happening.
Bummer.
It’ll work out fine in the end, though.. it always does.
Which one was that?
We didn't start numbering the things until after Elroy died..
There may be some cool ranges at least PROXIMATE to the Houston area, maybe I'll get motivated and search around.
Because it's our turn not to have to travel, dammit.
Too bad.
I liked the place way out in West TX.
That would be a fresh adventure!
Honestly, I thought this last shoot was the best we’ve ever had. The range was fun, no range nazis, the cabins were perfect for pre and post shoot festivities, outdoor kitchen for margaritas and pig candy (very important), and the weather was perfect in October. I would not object to having our 10 year party there. I think for mylife’s sake though, we would have to be much more coordinated with the range arrival and departure times. And I agree with Tom, breakfast on your own the morning of the shoot. Hell, I’ll even spring for Shipley donuts to bring to the range for everyone. :) Just my 2 cents.
