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!
The wife & I figure on arriving about mid-day on Friday.
Is she going to be bringing some of her legendary vegan casseroles?
Not this time.
She's on a kick about Monsanto veggies-of-death and will only eat stuff she grew herself.
Which ain't much.
Seriously? You are bringing her with you? Damn it!
I know.
I know.
See post #554.
I'm tentatively interested in going to the TCMS 2014. My only limiting factors are twofold:
1) If there is a government shutdown, I need to stay close to home, so that would kill my plans.
2) I need to find a way to get there and that is where one or more of you may come into play. I don't want to do air travel because I would like to bring a toy of my own. I won't rent a car and travel alone, because one, I am not the worlds best driver, and two, driving that long alone would be either a mistake or an accident. So, while I have the money to get there, and the money to finance all the other areas and venues of the trip, I'm looking for someone who is driving anywhere near Atlanta in their travel to Texas. If you can, stop by, pick me up, and if you are renting a car, I will get half that expense. Certainly I'd pay for gas.
Please advise if anyone can do something like this.
I recently purchased new optics for my Ruger Mark lll .22 caliber pistol. It needs to be sighted in...
Ask Little Man if he would like to take on that task while I help Charlie set up the kitchen.
It's all for the sake of the Daisey Ladies so that they might shoot well with it...;)
Thought you were driving down with Scoutmaster?
He cannot make it. Daughter’s wedding. Would you ping to my message to everyone? It will help me make it there.
Pinging a message from Laz in post #567.
Please send your responses to him either on this thread or via FReep mail.
Thanks.
Looks good....what is it? :)
I do want to go here. :)
I asked you to be nice.
The goofy glue incident was an accident nothing more and the dog is okay now.
It’s what ya look thru and point the red dot at what ya want ta shoot at...
LOL! I was asking about the “snack” you posted, but the scope sounds really cool, too! :)
You didn’t just call ‘gunner’s “wife” a dog...did you??
DOH! It’s a burger with an onion ring and tater chip fries,
Wish I could be of help, Laz, but I live right up the road from this year’s Shoot. I won’t be anywhere close to your travel route.
:)
Makes me hungry for a burger! Those tater chips look yummy!
I guess I’m hungry. LOL!
