8th Annual TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot ~ Planning Thread
TheMom

Posted on 10/14/2012 2:59:02 PM PDT by TheMom

Because everyone had such a great time at the last shoot we are anxious for the next one.

The date for the 8th Annual TCMS shoot will be June 8th, 2013 and will be held at Dietz Gun Shop and Shooting Range, in New Braunfels, TX. Providing we get the OK from Mr. Dietz – I will call him this week to discuss our coming to the range.

Staying in the Pelican Bay cottages this year was a stroke of genius, so we will again be staying in cottages. The cottage pick for this shoot is the Cypress Creek Cottages, in Wimberley, TX. There are only twelve cottages at this place, and as of this writing 7 of them have been reserved. NOTE: They require full payment at the time the reservations are made. Wimberley also has some very nice hotels in the area in the event all the cottages get rented.

Making it a three & a half day weekend will be the plans for many of us, that way we can enjoy the area and have lots of porch time.

The Friday night dinner & Saturday breakfast places have not yet been decided. There is still plenty of time to figure out those details. Saturday after the shoot lunch will be provided by our own chef ~ cpdiii (Thanks Charlie!). Suggestions for the Saturday night meal are more than welcome.

My thanks to mylife, penelopesire, LuvW, BuckeyeTexan and NYTexan for their help in getting these plans going.

Yes, you mentioned that you were going to try for one. Don’t worry, Tex. Even if your local gun shop runs out before you get one next week, there will be enough of them at the shoot for you to fire at least one.

As far cooking goes, we are keeping it simple this year.

I'm thinking Take-out from Marco's Italian Restaurant & Pizzaria would be even easier.

Also, make sure the barrel is clear and clean of cosmoline before shooting it.
These old guns have been packed away in grease for ages.

Will you be bringing your ammo stock to the shoot? If we run out, can we buy some from you?

Wideners had the M44 carbine version (41 inches) on sale for under $220. They sold out quickly.

Cabela’s opens at 9:00 am on Fridays. They had people lined up at 6:00 am to buy those Moseys at $149. They sold out in 15 minutes? I’d have been torqued if I stood in line for three hours only to be turned away at 9:15. Hopefully, I’ll get one this week.
