And so begins our annual 7th TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot.

Thank you humble gunner for the graphic.

TexasCowboy (aka COB1) was a true Texas gentleman, great friend, patriot, and a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment. It is truly an honor to continue a tradition he started many years ago, hosting shoots for FRiends around the great state of Texas.

Many FReepers are coming into town on Thursday so that they can have a tourist day on Friday. Those lucky people are going to be made (a good) miserable Thursday evening by enjoying TheMom’s Kick Ass Enchilada’s.

The only set tourist place is The Lady Lex.

Friday evening we will meet at Captain Benny’s, 103 Fulton Beach Road Fulton, TX 78382, at 8:00 p.m., for a delicious seafood dinner. (They do not take credit cards or serve liquor ~ so remember to bring your cash & booze.)

Saturday morning we meet for breakfast at Alice Faye’s, 910 North Fulton Beach Road, Fulton, TX 78358, at 8:00 a.m. The shoot is scheduled to start at 10:00 a.m. at, Schwenke’s Gun & Pistol Range, 4407 FM 1069 Aransas Pass, TX, 78336. Mr. Schwenke has reserved the 25 yard shooting station for our group to use as “home base”. The only major rule at this range is do not shoot the livestock. A BBQ lunch will be served at 12:30ish.

Once the shooting is done some of us will be going to the Rockport Seafair, while others will go back to the Pelican Bay cottages for some R&R. Saturday evening will be filled with yummy junk food and margaritas!

According to the forecast, it looks as the weather will be perfect. Lows in the mid-sixty’s, highs in the mid-eighty’s.

Agree. Not sure that Red Ranch is handicap accessible yet. Seems most of the cabins have loft sleeping quarters with ladders except the bunkhouse. Just throwing out some ideas here. I may call another friend that does vacation planning. She may have some ideas for large groups.there are lots of places like Pelican Bay in the hill country, we just gotta find them....lol.

Generally Handicap access has not been an issue.

Ladders and lofts could make for some handicapped nights.

That Roddy Tree Ranch in Hunt that you posted the other night looks like a great place too. I love Hunt. Lots of blue holes around that part of the river.

To my roomies, Laz and Buckeye Tex, I will forever treasure our special time together. We're sealed solid together forever.

Agreed!!! I had a few out-of-character "social gaffe" moments, but I finally tracked the cause down: withdrawls. I was wondering what the hell was happening to me!

But that is a sparse minority of the time. Usually I was okay.

You guys were wonderful 100% of the time, however!

I shot pool once.

The rounds kept ricocheting off the water and hitting my neighbors house.

This place Cypress Creek Cottages looks nice, and the prices are reasonable. There are twelve cottage that sleep between two & six people.

Dietz Range is a 30 to 45 minute drive from there.

That ain’t nosy. THIS is nosy: Do you slumber in your sleep?

Last I checked, you must have a class III weapons permit for full-auto weapons in Texas.

That is such a tough job.

You have to stay in a nice hotel and check out various lovely vacations spots. The worst part is eating at several restaurants to find a place for dinner and breakfast.

Are you sure you want to put yourself through that kind of torture? ;-)

Whoa! Cypress Creek Cottages looks great! The room rates are not all that bad for the condition and ambiance of the rooms. I’m all in for that one.

Dietz Range looks very nice as well.

I wish I could fly in and go with y’all for all the torture of choosing the best restaurants and other attractions that will suit the Shooters. ;-) Sigh...
