A date and cabin locations have finally been chosen.
This years shoot will be October 18th. Once again it will be held in Seagoville, (5 miles south of Route 175 or 3.5 miles NE of I-45 (exit 270) on S. Belt Line Road). The plan at this time is to meet at Cotton Gin in Crandle for breakfast at 9:00 a.m., BUT they are currently closed due to a fire. Hopefully they will be reopened by October. If not, Plan B will be put in place. After breakfast we will all head to the range. A delicious lunch will be provided at the range by our wonderful FRiend cpdiii.
The cabins where we are staying are Miller Creek Ranch in Canton, TX. There is a map of the place Here
A block of cabins have been reserved under the name TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot. To reserve your cabin, call 866-488-6020 or 903-567-6020 They are reserved for Thursday the 16th through Sunday the 19th. Please let them know if you will arrive Thursday or Friday night. A $125.00 deposit is due at the time you make your reservation, with the balance due when you check in.
The cut off date for making your reservation is May 28th! Make reservations after that date at the risk of not getting a cabin.
The cabin numbers reserved for us are 10, 22, 24, 25, 77, 88, 89, 90, 92 and 102. #s 22, 24, and 25 are called Executive Cabins with lofts, they are $185.00/night and sleep 4-6 people; #s 10, 88, 89, 90 and 102 are Standard Cabins with lofts, they are $165.00/night and sleep up to 4 people; # 92 is a Standard Cabin without a loft and # 77 is handicapped accessible, those are both $150.00/night and sleep up to four. All the lofts, with the exception of #22, are only three feet high and each have two twin mattresses; the loft in #22 is five feet tall. Each cabin has a queen size bed and a queen size sleeper sofa.
No cars are allowed at the cabins, with the exception of the handicapped cabin. You can either use their concierge service to get to and from the cabins or rent a golf cart for $40.00/day. If you want to rent a golf cart it was suggested that you reserve one when making your reservation.
Extra cost included are a $5.00 resort fee (they normally charge this per day, but are only charging us a one time fee); Internet fee is $5.00/day.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in October!
I'm just fine, having dinner with Dr. Crusher.
Who said I got shot?
Sneaky!
You got shot!? Ok, I want names.

Friday night we will all get together and cook. Saturday night is kind of a pot luck deal because most folks are to tired to do much cooking and eating.
Thursday night or Friday morning we’ll figure out what we are cooking and who is contributing what. Your offer to help is much appreciated and will not be declined.
For the meal at the range, a few of us bring the side dishes and cpdiii does the main (and delicious) course. As of this writing, pen is making her very yummy potato salad and I will bring pinto beans. If you and yours want to bring an additional side dish to the range, I’m sure none of us will protest. ;-)
Depending on the size of the posse, some of y'all wranglers will need ta fetch some large cooked shrimp. I'll provide the rest of the fixing’s.
It wouldn't be a TCMS weekend without the ever flowing Margaritas. I'm bringing the Ninja blender and mixers, glasses, salt, etc. As to the Tequila:
If you wish to imbibe, please provide!
Well, of course I volunteer! I think I can remember how to prep those shrimpies! :)
Looking forward to it.
How ‘bout pie. ~~snicker~~
Thanks LS, know I can always count on you ta help!
I have a volunteer for you ... me. Will help in all ways possible.
A cake or two?
Yummy! Love your shrimp and Margaritas! I will gladly contribute a handle of tequila to the ‘cause’....lol.
Thanks!
Thank You for accepting my help. Only death will keep me away.
I didn’t think we had enough pie last year. *ducking*
I volunteer to supervise the prep work AND be a taste tester for the Margaritas. It’s a sacrifice, I know, but for you guys I am willing to suffer through.
A cake or two would be great.
I'm going to have to come back to this thread often to know what am doing or take notes in the a.m. Many a promise here made by me and I will keep every promise if physical death does not find me. Am willing to die otherwise if I break any promises or rules. Promise to return and take notes in the a.m. or first opportunity.
Ya sure? Wouldn’t want ta put ya out none...
Can’t have too much pie-—right? Heehee!
1) Help NYTexan with shrimp
