The planning stages for TCMS XI are in the works. At this point the plan is to hold the event in October 2016. (Yes, I know that is a looonnnggg way away!) The range we are considering is Hiciksville Range, in Gatesville. The closest lodging we could find is in Whitney.
We have already had one recon trip, which was not very productive due to heavy rains. The entire recon crew checked out one of the places we are considering staying. The majority of us fell in love with the place, even though it was a gloomy weekend. It made for some fun joking about being the perfect place to film a horror movie, especially with the creepy & trashy road to the resort. We all agreed that the pavilion was awesome; it is big enough to hold all of us without bumping into each other.
NYTexan & BuckeyeTexan checked out the other place. I liked it from looking at their website, but was not impressed with the pictures that Buckeye sent me. She & I are going to do another recon so that I can see it in person. There is also one more location we will look at. The one negative for both of those places is the size of their pavilions ~ we need lots of room to move & mingle.
Next week Eaker, humblegunner and I are going to Hicksville Range for a look see and discuss pricing.
Stay tuned for more info . . .
50cal has been mia for years
Thanks. Sorry to hear about Jackalope Hunter. I’ll keep the other two on the ping list.
Mom, we’re hoping to make it to the 2016 Shoot (I know it’s a long way away, though). That would be SO cool! After hanging out with Onyx over the weekend, we’re even more fired up about it.
He was in Sierra Vista Az
There are quite a few on that list that have been MIA for years.
I hope y’all can make it. You will not regret showing up.
After seeing your Trump campaign pic’s, I was thinking that maybe you could scoop up Onxy and carpool to Texas.
Many are still around but have left the forum for one reason or another
Arrowhead fell off a ladder, and has been in rehab for over a year. (Head injury. )
Last I heard, he was still in recovery from falling off a ladder a couple years ago. Kathy in Alaska posts updates on his condition from time to time.
There are quite a few on the ping list that have left this forum, but I’m friends with on Facebook so they are kept in the loop.
Don’t know those listed above, ‘tis why I asked.
Thanks for the info. I’ll keep him on the ping list and say prayers for him.
Oh, hey! That’s an idea! If she’d like to go, and if we could coordinate, that would be da bomb!
Haven’t managed to make one yet, but would like to come this year. Since I live closer to the Hicksville Gun Range than Whitney, and will be photographing the allesome Crawford Pirates on Friday night, would like to just meet up with y’all at the range.
Come on!
He definitely needs the prayers!

You might have to twist her arm!
Yes, Smokingfrog, that may be so. At the same time, we don’t know how deeply the communists may have solidified their control of our nation by then. Oh, never mind! No sad talk! We’ll pray and see! :-)
I’m still alive.........
