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.

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!
Light 'em up, toss them into the river and shoot at 'em.
Whoever puts one out or sinks one.. wins. Something.
Hell, never tried 'em before, think up new uses all you want.
I did do a buoyancy test, but that's it so far.
Wneighbor is bringing pies...put in yer request now!
She an Hubby are coming?
Woohoo!
Way cool, you are a modern renaissance man!
I was trying to figure a way that if you hit one, you lit it off,
like with some tannerite or something...
The shoot this year is at the Trinity river, and the coolest
feature is the bluff above the river. One can toss tennis balls
or wood pieces or (use imagination here) into the river below and
everyone opens up on it.. sometimes multiple targets floating along in sequence.
It haz a awesome.
Peach or cherry. WOOHOO! Pieeeee!
Here's how it is situated...
Hold on just a minute, now...y’all call “that” a “river”?
There’s an unnamed tributary behind my house that’s biggern that!
(just funnin, with ya)
Hope you and all the other freepers have “loads” of fun
(pun intended).
Heck, that’s bigger than the Rio Grande in some places in New Mexico.
“... 40 rounds of .45-70 ...”

I have been wanting me a .45-70 guide gun for some time now.
I had an opportunity to but one from a guy for $350 but it wasn’t exactly the one I wanted,
so I turned it down and have been kicking myself in the ass ever since.
The bottom section of that river is now “Lead Lined”!
I’ve got appetizer stuff for both evenings.
Halal Bacon Smokies and imported Liberian Monkey-Meat on a stick.
With Sriracha yet.
Bacon Smokies w/o the Halal sounds great!
You can keep the Monkey-meat in yer freezer!!! LMAO
I vote burgers and brat wurst. It’s easy to cook and easy to clean and not expensive.
It’s October. Hello? Oktoberfest! German food is yummy.
It's on special at H.E.B., JJ Watt ate some in a commercial.
The Monkey-Meat stays.
Can we use tannerite at the lease? I was thinking “October ... pumpkins ... exploding pumpkins.”
I wish I knew how ta make potato pancakes...
Of course! I'll go halves in on it!
