A date and cabin locations have finally been chosen.
This year’s 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!
Still think we need tannerite.
That would be nice.. for us, and probably for her... Considering the crowd, maybe not so much for him. But she'd get to see how he handles stress, especially if he's not a shooter. :)
Road flare & a can of hair spray
Not sure how well that would work.
MYT has build a spudgun, that is in testing.

Looking forward to seeing much more than those listed above.
You KNOW I’ll be there for everything possible! :)
I, too, hope hubby will come! He wants to...just not sure he can get away. He really does hate to travel. LOL!

That you for the Ping TheMom.
Scoutmaster, what news of the Rent-a-Cabin?
Also is there anything specific I can bring to help feed everyone? Or even a Gun Request?
I have Several.
nti and Better Half confirming ... Is breakfast Saturday? If Saturday will be there for breakfast. If not Saturday, what day is being spoken of for breakfast.
I’m planning on being there on Sat. - might be able to make it Thurs. &/or Fri. - depends on how much gas money I have (can’t afford the cabins).
Guns are scary and dangerous.
Are you sure this is even legal?
Are we “cooking in” the night before this time?
Not going to a restaurant?
So maybe I don’t need to rent a tuxedo and all that?
You in a tux? Drool!
Gosh, this is a formal affair? Okay ... knew this was a formal affair but now have to buy Better Half a tux too. Oops ... formal gown and high heels. We’ll (Better Half and I) get to decide which of us wears which outfit, right? Other than formal everything else is okay, am guessing.
Looking forward to the shoot. I will not be doing breakfast with the Houston Gang, as I will go directly to the shoot from my home in Salado, and set up the fixings for the food after the shoot. I shall be staying overnight with the gang after the shoot.
