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!

[wgflyer]

Hey thanks!

[Charles Martel]

You aint stocked up on ammo yet?

I am, actually. Got as much as I need (though not nearly as much as I want). I'm not even including my unassembled ammo components in the overall tally; I'd prefer to think of the fruits of my reloading efforts as lagniappe.

Looking forward to it. Might even have a new "project" completed by then, If I can obtain a large enough parkerizing tank.

[mylife]

I got a few Parkerizing jobs I need done or blueing.
I dont have the tanks.
We gotta talk

See you at the shoot hopefully

[mylife]

Sure! you’ll love it! These folks are hoot!

[smokingfrog]

Marking calendar now.

[mylife]

See you there.

[mylife]

Alright folks..
I gotta hit the rack, but I want you all to know these freepforalls are some of the best times ever..

My first Freeper excursion was to Crawford to protest Cindy Sheehan’s Lot.

It was an exceptional weekend and it gave me the notion of the Tx Road Trip. I have been hooked ever since

Elroy would approve

[Spktyr]

Hmmmm....

[Xenalyte]

Wish I could ... that is squah in the middle of Festival time! Y’all have a wonderful trip, and thanks for the invite!

[TexasRepublic]

I hope to attend if the Lord is willing and the creeks don’t rise.

[Bacon Man]

Love to, but can’t travel that far with our current pet situation.

Try us again next year though.

[Eaker]

Love to, but can’t travel that far with our current pet situation.

You can bring the targets ....... er .... cats with you!

[Allegra]

Last year at DCS in Port Aransas was a hoot

We had various livestock wandering around the range.

"Hold your fire! Cow on the range!"

Only in Texas. :)

[Deaf Smith]

Thanks for the ping to the 4th TC shootout.

I'll have my calender marked and to be sure that all chores are caught up.

Lots of reloading time between now & then.

[mylife]

Glad you can make it!

[mylife]

Yeah, I posted it upthread.
