A date and cabin locations have finally been chosen.
This years shoot will be October 18th. Once again it will be held in Seagoville, (5 miles south of Route 175 or 3.5 miles NE of I-45 (exit 270) on S. Belt Line Road). The plan at this time is to meet at Cotton Gin in Crandle for breakfast at 9:00 a.m., BUT they are currently closed due to a fire. Hopefully they will be reopened by October. If not, Plan B will be put in place. After breakfast we will all head to the range. A delicious lunch will be provided at the range by our wonderful FRiend cpdiii.
The cabins where we are staying are Miller Creek Ranch in Canton, TX. There is a map of the place Here
A block of cabins have been reserved under the name TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot. To reserve your cabin, call 866-488-6020 or 903-567-6020 They are reserved for Thursday the 16th through Sunday the 19th. Please let them know if you will arrive Thursday or Friday night. A $125.00 deposit is due at the time you make your reservation, with the balance due when you check in.
The cut off date for making your reservation is May 28th! Make reservations after that date at the risk of not getting a cabin.
The cabin numbers reserved for us are 10, 22, 24, 25, 77, 88, 89, 90, 92 and 102. #s 22, 24, and 25 are called Executive Cabins with lofts, they are $185.00/night and sleep 4-6 people; #s 10, 88, 89, 90 and 102 are Standard Cabins with lofts, they are $165.00/night and sleep up to 4 people; # 92 is a Standard Cabin without a loft and # 77 is handicapped accessible, those are both $150.00/night and sleep up to four. All the lofts, with the exception of #22, are only three feet high and each have two twin mattresses; the loft in #22 is five feet tall. Each cabin has a queen size bed and a queen size sleeper sofa.
No cars are allowed at the cabins, with the exception of the handicapped cabin. You can either use their concierge service to get to and from the cabins or rent a golf cart for $40.00/day. If you want to rent a golf cart it was suggested that you reserve one when making your reservation.
Extra cost included are a $5.00 resort fee (they normally charge this per day, but are only charging us a one time fee); Internet fee is $5.00/day.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in October!
Just over three months until the shoot ping.
How many FReepers do we have confirmed?
Woohoo!!
Scoutmaster and I are still working on making sure the Cabin is all on the up and up :)
bump!
Off the top of my head, I’d say we are at 20. BUT - my list is at home so I may have missed a person or three.
To bad they aint all here today.
Brilliant day with high clouds.
Gonna get a bit steamy this afternoon, but nice morning.
Remember, this is a class III range.
Bring full auto if you got it!
HEB had brisket on sale for $1.99 a pound which is a damn good price I bought two big ones and put them in the Freezer. I also bought a small one that I am cooking this week for myself and my brother in law whom is visiting. He and I have a bit of a contest going relative to BBQ. Each time we try to out do each other. It is “kinda a throw down” on who cooks the best brisket and or ribs. To be honest, his “ain’t” bad.
For the shoot I will do Brisket and Chicken, Chile Beans and Rice, and French Bread to “sop” up the brisket juice. If a few people will bring side dishes it would help with things running smoothly. I will bring serving plates, utensils, ice, water and soft drinks. Bring your own beer, I like Shiner Bock Wild Hare Ale!!!
I will miss breakfast as I shall be driving directly to the range and set things up for the meal. Thus I will have more “shooting time.”
Hey MY LIFE, you mentioned improvements to the range i.e.BBQ pits tables etc. What all have they done since we were there last?
MOM, about what time do we want to eat? I figure that after that big breakfast “you-all” will have about 1:30 would be good for lunch? All my “eats” will be cooked and prepared at home and put on ice. I will just need to heat them up and serve. That makes it easy for me.
SEE “YOU-ALL” IN OCTOBER
$1.99 an Lb? I wett to the store today and hamburg was $6 an lb!
That is outstanding!
Please let us compensate you this year
We’ll all bring sides
