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.
wOO hOO!
If onyx is staying with Pen...then you can stay with Laurenmarlowe and myself. We have a 2-bedroom. The couch is yours. LOL!
I figured that out the minute I hit send.
Everything is ready for you guys to come cookout over here next Saturday. We are giving the new grill a test run tonight. Let me know if that works for you guys. The weather is awesome tonight out on the deck! Hopefully next weekend will be nice too.
That would thrill my soul!! It won’t be as long a drive either...about 4 hours through beautiful country. You will love the hill country. Hope Dr. o can make it!!

It’s very kind of you and A to cook for us. That’s just awesome!
I may just walk over so that I can enjoy one (or two) of NYTexan’s FAMOUS margaritas!
Thank ya, darlin’ BB! :)
I’m not sure how we will maintain either.
Eaker & I were just talking about how cool it is that so many people have already booked (and paid for) their cottages ~ eight months in advance.
It was my pleasure...even though I felt like I was in a race! We did it! And these cottages look wonderful, huh!
Already looking forward to it and so glad you’ll be there! :)
ROTFLOL.
Their decks and home are BEAUTIFUL!
It is rather amazing. The cats seem to be self-herding. LOL!
Aw, you’re so sweet! I can’t wait to visit again!
Might show up Saturday night...lol. J/K (dammit).
