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!
How about some of your famous biscuits?

I ACTually make them with my own two lily-white hands. :D
My Wife and I would like to attend the Friday a.m. Breakfast. What may we bring? Will we be going to a grocery store Thursday Evening after meal at ‘Ole West Bean & Burger’ to purchase items for Breakfast? Wife and I would like to go tag along to grocery store, if permissible, and to help pay for a portion breakfast.
I too hope everything turns out where you and yours will be in attendance.
I am very much looking forward to meeting you and your lovely wife, Sir. I will try my best to make it to the shoot.
Sounds like a plan. We’ll figure it all out at the grocery store.
I’m going to try my best to make it.
Mighty fine looking knife there big fella!
Stag horn handle?
Lemony fresh.
Yep, it be that.
I sure hope you can! :)
I need an MRI, and I’m wrestling with the stinkin’ insurance company right now.
They refuse to okay it. And it may be too late when they finally do.
However, I’m going to do my darndest to get there this year. Too many people I love
a lot will be there, and I really want to meet them, some for the first time in person.
I hope all goes well with the MRI and that you can still come to the shoot. We would miss y’all like crazy! :)
Just checking in with everybody! I need help remembering what I promised to bring. Been gone so long, I feel like an outsider now. Please forgive me for being such a FReeper flake these last few months. I have just been been in a horrible blue funk all darn summer and no good company for anyone..lol!
Getting excited though to see everyone at the shoot and I promise not to be ‘Debbie Downer’ !! LOL!
Onyx is coming on the Tuesday before the shoot with KC. Do we have any plans for Wednesday night for the FW crew?
I remember something about making my potato salad for Friday night and some extra bottles of tequila for NYTexan’s famous margaritas, but can’t remember what else I need to bring? Ready..able and willing to help with whatever is needed and standing by for orders.
Love and Hugs to all!!
