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!
live equal “life” I hate it when my fingers hit the wrong key.
Looking forward to seeing you and the Mrs. again.
We’ll figure out the food needs when it is closer to shoot time. And bring which ever gun you like, or even all of them. In the past some folks brought a grunch of weapons and never even took them out of the cases.
The “big” breakfast will be Saturday, before the shoot. I believe that NYTexan has made reservations at Denny’s.
Looking forward to seeing you. How’s your health these days?
Guns are scary! Instead of shooting this year we should just all pick flowers.
We will be cooking in the night before at the cabins ~ I’m thinking tofu burgers.
Glad to hear that you will be staying overnight on Saturday.
Right now, I have 26 confirmed folks coming to the shoot. I’m sure that number will go up bit.
Each of those having done all the preparation work is a Hero. Thank You and all having prepared for this gathering. My sincerest Thanks. Has been made easy for those not involved in the plan and planning. Kudos!
“How’s your health these days?”
Thank you for asking.
Overall, I’m feeling better and able to do more. Still get tired sometimes, so I take it easy then.
I’m planning on being there for the shoot and Saturday breakfast.
Don’t know where I’ll stay, but I will be somewhere nearby. Usually stay in a LaQuinta, but last time I went cheaper, and this time I’ll have to do the same.
All conditioned on not being out of the North Texas Area, or at least not so far out I couldn’t drive up after work on Friday. Right now, no work.
Glad to hear you are doing better. Thanks for the FReep mail, been a bit busy and haven’t had time to reply.
Looking forward to seeing you in October.
After nine years we mostly have it done to a science. ;-)
I had you counted as one of those showing up. Keeping my fingers crossed you can make it.
Kitty passed away this morning ~ in the same place she was born, next to Eaker in our bed. This year there will be not mascot dog bumping into people and things.
I’m so sorry. Y’all give those pets a wonderful life.
Sorry to hear that Mom, she was funny little bugger.
Awwwww. She was a sweetheart. :( RIP, Kitty.
LittleMan sends condolences.
Sad news...RIP Kitty
I staid up with her all night.
She was patted all night too.
Bless her little heart. She will be missed!
