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.

A wise precaution for sure with your travel distance and route.

For us its more mundane. Tatiyana is my own Mosin. She’s very tall and a challenge to store in a packed space. That’s why she didn’t make it to Rockport.

Can we bayonet-roast squirrels instead? I’d have an insulin attack if I ate a marshmeller. What’s a marshmeller anyway?

Yes. Good thing we have a big [unladylike word]ed car. I’ll have to remove the bayonet, but it’ll fit.

It should fold in, most cleverly:

I think you would be imprisoned for life in CA for even owning that one!

God bless Texas! ... and Ohio!

It does not. The bayonet is one solid piece, and it fits over the barrel, twists, and spring-locks out of the way of the sights.

I can’t wait for you to see it and fire it.

And the spam can arrived a few minutes ago. It’s a little bigger than I thought it would be, and my ammo pouches won’t hold it all, LOL!

Interesting that the most mentioned instrument of repair was a two-by-four.

I’ll be with penelopesire again and she hasn’t checked in with you yet, but I think we’ll be there! Can’t miss a Tex-Mex!!! I’d be so unhappy!

Thank you, dear. See Post 609. I got this, really.

I understand that you’re going to stop being so shy and that you’re coming to the shoot? I’m looking forward to meeting you.

They’re probably also good for getting a nagant owner’s attention. ;)
