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.
Yeah, that too.
Hope she does well! We will miss you!
Y’all have lots of fun - and I’m sure you will, I lived in Rockport/Fulton for years. They’ll treat you so many ways, you’re bound to like one of them.
You Texans sure know how to have a good time.
I remember T.C. well-—I can’t believe he’s been gone so long.
I’m from MA. Oh well!
I miss TC also, dear Mears.
Good news so far. Continued prayers.
We hope to see both of you next year!
Activity report:
TheMom made her famous Enchiladas for dinner tonight.
I served up four batches of Margaritas. Onyx had to be poured into bed. And everyone else is sleeping VERY comfortably tonight...
Y’all wake up!
Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.
Let Freedom Ring,
Both the enchiladas and margaritas were well enjoyed.
We just finished a late lunch at Pier 99. Yummy.
DAGNABIT! I really wanted to attend. Maybe next year...
After a slow start half of our shooters are here at the range. The other half is either lost or still asleep.
Wishing all our Texian FRiends and guests a great day. I can see TexasCowboy, that dear man, smiling down on you all.
Cool! Wish ya’ll weren’t so far away!
Can always count on you Luv W for pictures.Hey Jim here’s a song for you from Fatima.((((Hugs))))
