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!

[mylife]

NYT and Lauren fixed that up for me.

I are HTML challenged!

[mylife]

Yessir! There are some Utility roads along the river that people dirtbike on. I cant vouch for the trail as I havent ridden it

[luvie]

You all did good!

I suppose that all of you went to the Gun Show? How many
new ones did ya all get?

When hubby heard about it, he wanted to go. Just couldn’t
get away on Valentine’s, though. Darn it!

[humblegunner]

Dix was awesome.

He was a fountain of political knowledge and a fun guy.

Plus, the inner workings and peccadillos of Houston movers-and-shakers
he could tell you about would blow your mind.

He would bring his Beagle Fannie Mae to the gun range and she would wear hearing protection. No lie.

[mylife]

I look forward to riding the Raptor!

We have a MX track here where I live thats 52 mi from the shoot site

[mylife]

What happened to Dix?

[Eaker]

Here is Fannie!

[mylife]

We should start a new tradition MX and shooting.

The Shoot and scoot..

That dawg will knock over you beer on purpose, lap it up and then hump your leg L0L

Evil I tells ya!

[OKSooner]

Shooting with mexican food and cerveza afterwards in North Texas?

What's the course(s) of fire?

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha My!

Every year this gets more tempting.....

Got an invitation to a family reunion in St Ignes, Michigan in August and am wondering if that's a possible.

But who knows.....I may be wandering around in October too.

We can rustle up some Mexican grub.

Basically what we have here is a 400 yard range with steel gongs on the bend of the river. then there is a free for all shooting across the river at floating targets in the river ...75 yds.

There is a 100 yard range and a pistol range

Most people are more than happy with the river shoot and the 400 yd gongs. A lot of others like to use the 100 yd range for sighting in scopes.
Most pistol shooters like poppin stuff in the river more than working the pistol range

Shooting tennis balls in the river is a complete hoot! you can send them puppies 80 foot up in the air and they dont sink

Shooting skeet across the river is also popular

You got a place to stay if I got a place in Howaya L0L

[TheMom]

Hey. I made it through like 3/4... but she made it a double just cause she has a mean streak. She was over there smiling quietly to herself watching me bust my belly

This is so true. I just can't help myself.

[mylife]

Youre Bad...☺

Flyer would wear stretch pants to our house!
