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.

The Mom is on this ping, right? After all, she's one of the backbones of this and makes REALLY GOOD food! :)

(Plus, she's got an awesome aim...don't want to get on her bad side...)

[Gondring]

Thank you!
I sure hope I can make it this year.

[Randy Larsen]

I’m gonna save my money and see if I can’t make it!

I’m gonna have to use your guns though, I don’t dare move mine out of state!

[mylife]

C ya there..

[Allegra]

I'll try my darnedest to get there. I'm still...you know...here.

But I always take leave during football season and that is during football season. (Oh, hell...I hope the Texans are out of town that weekend...)

And I've got a couple of cool weapons I want to shoot.

15 miles from my house...YOOHOO finally get to meet some FREEPERS after 8 years here...WOW!!! Put me down!

[TheMom]

It looks awesome! Great job & thanks for hosting this year.

[Atlantian]

I miss TexasCowboy. He was a great FReeper.

[Shooter 2.5]

Thanks for the invitation.

I'm also very sorry we haven't met yet. I'm still working on that. I did finally meet James who sets up the gongs on the four hundred. He's a real gentleman and a lot of fun.

I can supply about seven silhouette targets and a steel swinger. I also have a dueling tree that's a lot of fun.

I'll see about collecting some bowling pins for a little competition.

We can also get some claybirds on the bank for some 70 yard pistol and rifle shooting.

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

Cool. It’s been a while since we went to a FReeper gathering.
