8th Annual TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot - Live Thread

The Mom

[laurenmarlowe]

And so begins our annual 8th TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot. We are having a great time!

The Mom and crew are busy with family who stopped into town to attend the shoot and visit, so she asked me to get the thread started.

Look for comments and pictures over the next several days!

TheMom can you add me or what ever you need to do to be informed about the Shooting this year?

I would LOVE to come and I need to start planning so whatever I need to do please keep me in the loop. :)

[TheMom]

You are now on the TCMS ping list.

[KC_Lion]

Thank You TheMom!

(((HUGS!!))

[TheMom]

You are most welcome.

The shoot will be held in October of this year, the weekend of the 18th is looking promising, in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. It will be at one of the better ranges we have been to. Hope you can make it.

Hi TheMom!

Thanks so much for adding KC_Lion!
Weekend of October 18 in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area sounds perfect for me!!!
I’m already totally excited!

[KC_Lion]

Yes! I am so Happy to be in the List.

However, may I ask a few questions?

How many Days? How far ahead will I need to book?

You all have probably already discussed this, I just need a point to the right direction.

Some people arrive on Thursday and some on Friday. Group dinner on Friday night, breakfast on Saturday morning, shoot on Saturday, and after-party on Saturday night. Everyone leaves on Sunday morning. We haven’t picked out a hotel yet, but TheMom will let everyone know when we do. You can book as soon as you want.

We stayed in fantastic cottages at the last two shoots but can’t find any near the range this time. We’re considering a hotel on Lake Ray Hubbard in Dallas.

Short on time. Hope this helps.

WOW! Thank you so much, beautiful BuckeyeTexan!!
Lots of good information!

[KC_Lion]

YES! Thank You Buckeye Texan!

That Helps a Bunch!

That gives me a time range of when I need to leave KC, Ask for a couple days off work etc etc.

Now I am super excited!

This is the one we’re leaning toward. We’ll need a recon trip or three to know for sure! ;p

I’m SOLD! Just on the restaurants ALONE!

That would place us .5 hours from the range and is handicap accessible.
The range however is not handicap accessible.

The Hilton on the bay is a tad pricey but not excessive and looks like a lovely venue in lieu of cottages.
Still, it requires recon.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Most definitely requires a recon. ;p

[BuckeyeTexan]

“The range however is not handicap accessible.”

Ain’t no place inaccessible to The Beast. Fences, birdbaths, and ramps be damned.

Of Course I met a Marine down at the range years ago in a wheel chair on his Own.

Where there is will there is a way.

ROTFL!!!!

I'm so looking forward to the recon mission.

[KC_Lion]

That Place Looks Awesome!

I will start making plans, I have never driven to Texas so I may leave Thursday and get there by Friday.

Also, this makes me glad that this is my 7,000 Post!

WHOO!!!

CONGRATULATIONS KC_Lion!!!


Hold on now! Still plenty of time to make travel plans!
You might want to try to make it there by Thursday, but we can talk about that later.
VERY exciting and very excited, already!

[KC_Lion]

You might want to try to make it there by Thursday, but we can talk about that later.

I didn't think of that, it would give us more time to talk and spend together!

Beside my work makes you take it 5 Days at a time, so I could just take that whole week off. and make my way down there starting Tuesday or something.

[Windflier]

...more time to talk and spend together!

I'm Windflier, and I approve of that concept :-)
