Links To Previous Texas Cowboy Memorial Shoots!

Location: 5 miles south of Route 175 and 3.5 miles NE of I-45 (exit 270)
on S. Belt Line Road, near Seagoville, TX
This is privately leased land with exclusive use for the weekend.

We will be camping out there that weekend.
Y'all are invited to join us for as long as you can stay.

There is plenty of room for camping and we can set up as many as 3 isolated ranges and a free for all along the river. There are also gongs along the river edge at 400 yards. There are no range Nazi's, but the owner has asked for $16 a head for the weekend use of it. He promised to provide picnic tables and exclusive use.

The road in is a bit rough and there is a steep but short hill. So anyone without a high clearance vehicle will have to park up top and we will caravan them in. Or for the daring, We will have a winch to pull ya back up. There will be a modest latrine / shower tent set up as well as a fire pit and some cooking equipment, grills, screen tent, and a 7K watt generator if anyone needs power for their camper. It's a good size parcel, so folks can camp away from the shooting area on flat land near trees or in open area. Plenty of room for dogs too!
There are motels within 10 miles in Seagoville.

Area Hotel Information Can Be Found HERE!

A private room will reserved at the "Cotton Gin" in Crandall for diner
after the shoot for those that prefer not to camp cook.
Besides the great food, it also has free Wi-Fi.

Check Out The Crandall Cotton Gin HERE!

Camping will be the plan for the weekend.
The property is a very large wooded area next to a river.
It's less than five miles NE of exit 280 of I45 on E. Belt Line Road.
Many folks prefer to camp out and cook out at the land,
so let's make it a side dish ta pass and bring your own meat to grill (or share)
We will be setting up camp early Friday, so if y'all want to take the day off and join in,
that would be most kind!

The weather should be great and the TX State Fair
will still be open for those that might want to attend.

Visit The State Fair Of Texas HERE!

I managed to consume a whole one. Best enchilada I've ever had. And as we say, "Everything's bigger in Texas."

Any Target set ups would be greatly appreciated.
There is plenty of stuff down there now but swingers and silhouettes are a nice addition.

Yeah, we will get a few cases of clays and any 2x4 scraps we can round up for targets.
Cheap tennis balls are a fantastic river target.
I’ll try to get a couple cases of tannerite.

This is a HOT RANGE. I hope everyone remembers their muzzle discipline.

As shooter says the range is not monitored. it is up to the individuals to exercise safety. The range is full auto/tracers/50 BMG... whatever ya got. It is similar to Schwenckes range last year.

there are only a few rules. Use muzzle discipline at all times. Alcohol and guns dont mix. Dont shoot the trees. And dont shoot up river toward the road I will set up some rudimentary firing lines

[Pusterfuss]

Bummer to live a thousand miles away. Y’all have fun.

[mylife]

W00h00!

We look forward to seeing you ☺

[Eaker]

If anyone has a .50BMG (12.7x99 NATO) I have a few rounds That were El Roy’s I can donate. I know he would smile at us using them the way he intended.

[mylife]
