7th Annual TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot - Planning Thread

[TheMom]

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 . . .

ping to self

It’s a 9mm, but I’m sure that they’ll be making a .45 soon. It is apparently quite popular, selling like hotcakes.

Just ordered a RIA .22 TCM

Shiny! I like the feature of swapping out the barrel.

Will you have it before Oct 6?

[TheMom]

Just under two weeks until the shoot ping!

I’ll give Mr. Schewnske a call this week to remind him our group will be showing up on the 6th, and try to get the admittance price down.

Next week I’ll contact the BBQ restaurant to place the lunch order ~ brisket, sausage, potato salad, cole slaw & pinto beans.

For the Friday crew, a trip to see Lady Lex is for sure in order. Other sites to see are the Fulton Mansion and the Big Tree on Goose Island (1000 year old Oak tree).

If any of you are interested in seeing the sunrise over the Gulf, I think Friday or Sunday morning would be the best time.

At this time I have 25 confirmed folks showing up for the shoot.

At some point I will head to DCS to pick up some chairs & a canopy, any one that wishes to see the improvements that my mother has made to the place is welcome to tag along.

I definitely plan to be there with the Mrs.

Remind me again. Are we meeting somewhere for breakfast Sat. morning?

I got a place on the beach for Thurs/Fri but it’s not available for Sat. so I’m going to have to check out before the shoot and move to another location before going to the range.

BUMP for one of the greatest FReepers ever, TexasCowboy.

Family, friends, firearms. BE PREPARED BUMP!

[TheMom]

We are meeting at Alice Faye’s, 106 N Fulton Beach Rd, Rockport, TX 78358, at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday.

Check out Pelican Bay Resort (in Rockport). This is where 95% of the shoot attendees are staying. (Mention you are with the TexasCowboy group and receive at least a 10% discount).

Looking to seeing you and the Mrs.

As I said earlier, I must go to a wedding in Louisiana. The groom is the son of an old oilfield buddy of mine, we go back to 1974. This is the first TC (El Roy) shoot or any shoot since I have been hanging around with the Houston gang, that I have missed. I promise to be at the next one.

I would prefer to be at the shoot but there are some obligations that must be done.

MY REGARDS

ps

The Aransas Pass shoot we had some years ago was a good one. I am sure this one will be good as well. If you say please I will cook for the 2013 shoot.

I love shooting but the best thing about a TC shoot is being with good people that are patriots and honoring TC (El Roy)

What, the sun has other plans on Saturday?

[TheMom]

You will certainly be missed! I do hope you have lots of fun at the Louisiana wedding!

Pretty please, will you cook for the next shoot?
