Finally, the details have been nailed down!

The Eaker family is inviting FReepers to a Texas Cowboy Memorial Shoot.

The date will be May 6th, starting time will be 10:00 a.m.. The location will be sent via FReepmail (if you are interested in attending send me a message). The cost will be $15.00 per person.

After the shoot, everyone is invited back to The Compound to stuff themselves with TheMom's Kick-Ass Enchilada's (it is advised to wear stretch pants).

Take pictures and tell whoever wins to keep "my" trophy clean , safe and shiny for next year.

The inscription on the trophy ought to be "Gunner won again!"
just to keep the thing current every year. I'm just sayin'...

[TheMom]

LOL to post #138.

Check your FReep Mail.

I like the trophy comment.

Today I received the following FReepmail from Houston Curmudgeon. I think his idea is a wonderful one. I told him I would pose his question regarding what the plate should say to you folks.

I would also like to present a traveling trophy to be presented in ElRoy's name to the best shot with the biggest caliber gun each time the event is held. It's a chrome drilling bit, small and about 15 #'s. Perhaps I could get a plate made for it ... what should it say?

As much as I hate to suggest it, you're going to have to limit the possibilities to hand-held or at least shoulder-mounted weaponry, or I'm gonna cheat and win.

I don't think I can make it this year, but I'll see if I can rearrange my pre-Momorial Day schedule and sneak back home to Texas for the fest. But if not, I'll touch off a few for ya at the Wyoming Appleseed shoot.

[TheMom]

How the heck did I forget to put you on the ping list?

What the heck are you doing in Wyoming?

I don't think the gun range allows those types of weapons . . . I'll check though.

Maybe it ought to say........Braggin Rights !

TC would like that I think....because it's all in fun !

[Squantos]

Razorbacks Up !

[Eaker]

I see how ya'll are....ya wait till the best shooter is out of the country and then declare there's a trophy !!

I am not out of the country?

; < )

[Eaker]

You got us there Archy!

If we limit it to shoulder-mounted weaponry I can bring the .50BMG and one round.

I should do ok with it on the pistol range!

If we limit it to shoulder-mounted weaponry I can bring the .50BMG and one round.

Accuracy is also a factor. It should be the deciding factor.

I've been practicing.

Why are you hanging that little dog from a tree?

Why are you hanging that little dog from a tree?

He peed in the deer stand.

[Eaker]

You sure it wasn't on a trophy mouse outside of the deer stand?

[King Prout]

if you'll let me know where to send fifteen bucks, my AK and I'd be pleased to be counted among the "in absentia" participants.

[TheMom]

The $15.00 is for range fees. If you promise to spend it at your local range on the 6th, I promise to make you one of our "in absentia" participants.

[King Prout]

can't I send you $15 for the after-action beer fund?

;)

the local range is outdoors, and doesn't have per-use fees, just an annual membership fee. would investing (and expending) that money in ammo on the 6th qualify?

[TheMom]

Compound House Rules - I'll feed ya, you want to drink - bring it with you.

would investing (and expending) that money in ammo on the 6th qualify?Yes!

I haven't read the whole thread- but I wonder if the praying sort of folks would be interested in having a small group prayer for TC and his family while you are all together in his honor.

I really, really miss TC. :] I hope you all have a fantastic time. I thought about trying to get there- but it is a bit too far for me right now.

[King Prout]

okiedokie, then :)

[Pippin]

Wish I could come, I'm in Maryland

God bless you!

I miss TC, but I just know he'd be pleased to see amm his FRiends having fun together.

Rest in peace, TC!

An, Ealer, Flyer, HumbleGunner amd Meekie, eat an extra enchilada for me! :o)
