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!
Buy some bait or become it.
Old girl ain’t playin’!
Just checking in after a long summer absence. So sorry to hear about Kitty! My sincere condolences to you guys. Hugs to you! Looking forward to the shoot. Can’t wait to see everybody!
Yoww! It does not look like the Cotton Gin will be open for a while.

Well, that’s a shame.
Yup.
I vote for the six shooter.
I didn't know this.
Post 428..
Confirmation signal requested and down-thread voting for artwork....
Add Shibumi & Mrs to the list.
Fantastic!
Remember this is a river shoot.
While Paper targets are fine, floating targets are better.
Tennis balls are a hoot, scrap lumber works well and is biodegradable.
An 8’ stick of 2x4 will yield 24 nice 4x4 targets.
Home despot has these on sale for $2.12 a stick
Tannerite is welcome if anyone wishes to bring it.
NYT and I will bring some tennisballs/wood but the more the merrier.
Gunner if you have any spare lemons, bring em along.
Hey! Great!
I don’t know if they float or not, but they’re still green
and hangin’ heavy. If they float we should have some buckets full.
Just tested a lime it floats just below the surface but hey I love a lemony fresh range!
No biggy It was just a thought.
First, the good news - TheGirl and her fellow will be attending the shoot!! They are flying into Houston and will ride up with us.
Second, the other news - All the ladies prefer the Six Shooter T-Shirt, while the guys prefer the Minute Man. So, in order to keep the peace, both options will be offered. I’ll post a link to Cafe Press by Sunday evening.
Oh, and, Five Weeks Until The Shoot Ping! ;-)
