Planning has begun for the 7th Annual TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot.
This year’s shoot will be held at Schwenke’s Rifle & Pistol Range, 4407 FM 1069, Aransas Pass, TX. Which is a few miles north of Corpus Christi.
The date of the shoot is October 6th, which is Columbus Day weekend.
I have not talked to the range owner yet to see if we can cook on the range. If not, we will head over here for food & more fun. What food & who cooks has yet to be determined. I’m thinking, since we will be on the coast, we should have seafood.
Several of us will be staying in the cottages at that resort. The cottages sleep 2 ~ 4 people; they are a one bedroom with a fold out queen couch. I am going to reserve four cottages so that we will have a common area where we can eat & socialize. Let me know if you want to stay in one of them.
It should be noted that a festival will be held the same weekend as the shoot.
That’s it for now . . .
Ouch. That's at least $100 for my bunch to shoot. $80 if my wife opts out (which I'd hate for her to do).
I guess we'll have to stuff more nickels in the cookie jar. Thanks!
Homemade canned goodies sound yummy!
Feel free to ping anyone you want to this thread. If they want on the TCMS ping list, I’ll be happy to add them.
I hope the Mrs. makes it to the range, there is always so many guns to shoot.
And that would be...?
We'll be bringing Nacho fixin's and Margarita supplies for the party after. Also have a big bag of disposable serving utensils (tongs, spoons, and such)
BTW, Whatever happened to that Gator at DCS?
The name of the place is Captain Benny’s, in Rockport. Their food was just plain awesome!
I think the gator left for wetter ground when the lake dried up.
Fresh local seafood, oysters (in season) and homemade desserts. BYOB and enjoy our comfortable patio area. Our restaurant is available for private parties. Hours: Open Wed, Thurs, Fri, & Sat - 5pm to 9pm.
Think they'll mind if I spin up some Margaritas? ;^)
Thanks for the update. Soooooo looking forward to this trip!
I’ll bet the HORSE remembers us. :)
MOM
What is the name of the cottages and the address?
charlie
Pinging neighbors in Bandera!
That is the place!
Not sure how margarita’s work at a BYOB place. We can bring a batch or three, if they say we can’t then we will have to drink them when we get back to the cottages. ;-)
Hi Charlie! The cottages place is called Pelican Bay Resort, located at 4206 N. Hwy 35, Fulton, TX.
Here is there website http://www.pelicanbayresort.com/.
Dayum. Is that yours? It's beautiful.
Yeah, I bought it a couple of weeks ago. I hurt my right hand and haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet.
It is calibered in .45 Long Colt and should be a hoot to shoot!
You lucky dog, you.
I hurt my right hand and haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet.
Well, now I feel sorry for you, 'cause you've got to be itching like crazy to go shoot it. Get that hand healed and go have some fun!
Beautiful!
Sweet Henry!
Thanks!
Sadly my hand is still too damaged to shoot it. I may have really mangled the knuckle. That'll teach me to break up a stupid dog fight.
Ouch! I know what you mean I have gotten involved in several dog fights. I lost.
Sorry to hear about your hand.
I can always test that rifle for you.
Just ask Gunner!
