A date and cabin locations have finally been chosen.
This year’s 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!
There are 11 still available.
Just the important people. ;-)
Thank you.
Thanks Mom,
Scoutmaster is working on moving his reservation to my name.
I hope we can and soon. Don’t wanna be left out in the rain. :-)
please no rain ... just food and rounds, please
honest Mom ... Better Half and I are supposed to be in #92.
Guess I should have been more clear . . . there are only 11 cabins left available for rent. This does not include those that have already been reserved.
Because all the other ones burned down and the remaining ones are smoke & water damaged.
Got some ammo..that's been whispering to me to shoot.
BTW....I've a Remington Model 700 Rifle in .270 for sale. Very, very nice condition. The wood looks like it's never been hunted with.. Has a Bushnell 3-12 x 40 Scope...and a nice leather sling. Near two boxes of shells to boot!!
Pic's if anyone's interested.........
Have we rented all the cabins we reserved?
No.
{working from memory here} We reserved 16 and have only rented 9 or 10.
Is anyone bringing a .45-70? I have 2 boxes of 300 grain stuff, but it’s jacketed so I don’t want to shoot it in my Sharps.
just dang
I’m bringing my .45-70. I’ll take you ammo only if you deliver it in person.
Hmmmmm... the masked salsa bandit may send it in the care package.
Beautiful picture!
psssst! You and Squantos need to quit hiding behind your internet persona’s . . .
Step into the real life light ~ I promise it does not hurt.
Hint... Whisper... Next year maybe Orange Tx?
Cant find a decent range there yet..
Found this one but it is a private club.
We can certainly do Orange next year.
There is plenty of time to find a place. ;-)
