10th Annual TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot - Planning Thread
11/30/2014 | TheMom

Posted on 11/30/2014 8:17:12 PM PST by TheMom

Nine years ago Eaker & I were talking about what a wonderful person TexasCowboy was and what poopheads his children were. We both agreed that it would be a damn shame to let the memory of him lapse. Three or four times a year TexasCowboy would host shoots at various ranges across Texas. After everyone was finished shooting, he would then serve up a yummy lunch. It was while Eaker & I were talking that I came up with the (rare brilliant) idea of continuing what he started, but to do this in his memory. This is how the TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot was born.

2015 will mark the 10th Annual Memorial Shoot! I could not be more proud of how this event has blossomed throughout the years. The following phrase has been spoken at every shoot, except the first one, “This is the best shoot we’ve had!”.

Get ready to speak those words again . . .

The 10th Annual TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot will be held June 6th, 2015 at Schwenke’s Rifle Range in Aransas Pass. This is a private range, but I was once again able to sweet talk Mr. Schwenke to let us use his range (OK – maybe it wasn’t so much the sweet talk as it was he saw how much extra money he could make for the day). The cost is $15.00/adult. We have the 25 yard range reserved for us, but will be allowed to use the other ranges ~ as long as we “blend in” and are respectful to the members. The shoot will start at 10:00 am. I’ll have waivers for everyone to sign, and will collect your fee with the waivers to turn in all at one time. This year we will not meet as a group for breakfast before heading to the range.

If cpdiii is able to make it to the shoot he will provide lunch, otherwise we will have BBQ catered in (which will cost about $8.00/person ~ haven’t priced that yet).

I have reserved a block of 15 cottages at Pelican Bay Resorts ~ http://www.pelicanbayresort.com/ ~ for June 4th – 6th. To reserve a cottage call (Toll Free) 866-729-7177 or 361-729-7177, let them know you are with the TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot group. Our group will receive a discount on the price quoted on their website. The club house rents for $150.00 for four hours, I reserved Friday and Saturday nights ~ I can’t remember the start times, but we have to be out of there by 10:00 pm both nights. The lady I spoke with said we could probably use the club house for free, depending on how many cottages we actually rent.

For those arriving Thursday night dinner will be at Captain Benny’s ~ this is subject to change. The Friday night dinner is yet to be determined. Saturday night will be easy stuff ~ appetizers and chips & dip type stuff. There are a few months yet to figure all that out.

Everyone get your vacation requests in early. Really look forward to seeing everyone in June!

Bryan and I should be there by Friday, and we’ll be leaving Sunday morning.

Thank you for all your hard work. I don’t know how you do it with
all the other things on your plate. Take good care, and I’m hoping that you get responses from everyone who is coming, and regrets
from all who are going to skip it this year.

I'm so sorry. I'm already missing y'all.
I'm in a rut trying to get my house ready to sell. I've made NO progress for months on end.
Yes, I'm depressed and taking anti-depressants, but I'm completely overwhelmed.
I love you all, so please y'all each one have a drink for me! AND then have another Margarita for Pen and Allen!
John will keep count!

Three of us coming from FResno, God willing and the creek don’t rise. Four if Syncro can get away. And from what I’ve been hearing lately, that creek rising bit could be serious. Praying for sunshine.
