7th Annual TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot - Planning Thread

Planning has begun for the 7th Annual TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot.

This year’s shoot will be held at Schwenke’s Rifle & Pistol Range, 4407 FM 1069, Aransas Pass, TX. Which is a few miles north of Corpus Christi.

The date of the shoot is October 6th, which is Columbus Day weekend.

I have not talked to the range owner yet to see if we can cook on the range. If not, we will head over here for food & more fun. What food & who cooks has yet to be determined. I’m thinking, since we will be on the coast, we should have seafood.

Several of us will be staying in the cottages at that resort. The cottages sleep 2 ~ 4 people; they are a one bedroom with a fold out queen couch. I am going to reserve four cottages so that we will have a common area where we can eat & socialize. Let me know if you want to stay in one of them.

It should be noted that a festival will be held the same weekend as the shoot.

That’s it for now . . .

Hubby has made reservations for our stay. We will be attending.

Hubby thinks we're going so I can meet y'all, but my nefarious plan involves his meeting you. Maybe somebody can convince him to join Free Republic.

We still need a cat sitter, but we have a couple of people in mind.

I have an ICBM that I can let you have a dance with...

[stevie_d_64]

I don’t get it...

[stevie_d_64]

“Mooooooooooovvvveeeee!!!”

I think “BANG” would work too...

But that kinda messes up the whole seafood theme for the weekend...Who knows, “Surf and Turf” has always been a winner to me...

[stevie_d_64]

Oops...That was a horse??? Dirn...My eyes ARE getting bad...

Forget the whole “Surf and Turf” idea...Muh bad...hehe

mylife says we are good to go for Thursday as the travel day.

So plan your flight to CC!

We may need a tour guide after all...

[luvie]

Thanks for the heads up! It’s too soon for Southwest to have specials for October, but when they do, I’ll snag one! Lookin’ forward to it!

[NYTexan]

I don’t get it...

...and you never will! ;)

Mom, checking in. Got the calendar marked.

We’ll likely be in Port A that weekend but, I doubt the Wife, kids and friends would allow me to duck out for some ‘other’ goodtimes.

We shall see.

[BuckeyeTexan]

I’m driving down by myself from Southlake/Westlake/Keller/Colleyville/Grapevine. If anyone wants a ride, FReepmail me to get in touch. (No charge - I’m a-goin’ anyway.)

I absolutely cannot wait to lay eyeballs on y’all finally. I’m a-countin’ the days!

[BuckeyeTexan]

Do I need to bring anything for the actual shoot other than my usual range gear?

[TheMom]

I look forward to seeing both of you there.

[TheMom]

I doubt the Wife, kids and friends would allow me to duck out for some ‘other’ goodtimes.

Invite them along.

[wolfcreek]

I might see if the guys want to come do some shootin. The ladies and children will be beach bound without a doubt.

Actually that was Mustang Island

Which is exactly where I'm at right now. Have been since Saturday night (12 May) but will be leaving in the morning. Ate at Virginia's place in Aransas pass tonight. Good Shrimp.

[El Gato]

There’s a lot to see in that area. I’d love to see the USS Lexington docked there.

I toured her a few years ago.. Not sure I could mange all the "ladders" now, but I'm getting there. I'm just about across Corpus Christi Bay from her right now.

[El Gato]

Oops, I mean in Port Aransas, which is where Virginia’s is.

[mylife]

I love good shrimp.

[El Gato]

That was/is a good old horse. Very even tempered.

Of course having the horse (and goat) whisperer on duty helped a lot too.
