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.
:)
Was Boudreaux Cooter and Thibodeaux there?
We missed ya this year!
Tom offered to let me shoot it, and I said “thanks, I will check it out a little later”
Then I Forgot!!!
It’s a cheap *** chinese keyboard. LOL
This is going to remain one of THE highlights of my life! :)
Thanks for all you did to make it happen, TM! I know it wasn’t as easy as you made it look!
You home yet?
And it was great swapping war stories with you. We all loved every minute of it.
Thanks for sharing your pictures! Love seeing them and being reminded of the fun!
Sea stories?!! Heck I got Sea stories!
Most of them can’t be told in mixed company LOL
It was really good to get to know one another a bit.
I trust your trip home was uneventful?
I am. Got here right on time, thanks to you! :)
I’m going for a nap. I’m tard! LOL!
I guess you got home ok, too? How’s Pooks?
Pook’s fine.
He was happy to see pappy.
LOL! With what the humidity did to my hair, I WANTED to avoid the cameras whenever possible! LOL!
Great pictures, TM!! Bring back a lot of happy and fun times that we’ll enjoy looking at over and over!
Bet he was! Glad you got home in good time!
This event had plenty of my six favorite exercises. Let’s see: eating, drinking, FReeping, talking, sitting and shooting. Can’t remember what the other one was. Oh yeah. Four wheeling in my powerchair.
It is a good thing I dropped you off prior to getting on I-35.
I woulda singed your delicate ears!
It took me about an hour to travel like 8 miles to Highway 30 because of the Tx State fair. Doh!
I think I flipped Big Tex the bird LOL
It was smooth sailing after I cleared Fair Park.
It was good to clear the Lake Wylie Hubbard bridge and get out of the city again.
Hell yeah they got the finest chow in them things..
Yikes! I forgot about the dang fair going on! I’m glad it didn’t take you even longer to get by it! Ugh!
Darn shame we didn’t have time to take a bit of it in. It’s big!
Great thread! Love all the pics!
You did get some “off road” time LoL
Isn’t that what led to the dangerous scenario where Eaker was given access to the “Nuclear FReepball”??
