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!

Another insidious example of the war on wimmins.
Don't worry ... will have diapers for the menins and wimmins. Am only gonna set 'em by the dozen and no sharing!
Unfortunately a few things have come up and we will not be able to make it this year. Nothing serious, just a few nagging things that happen to fall on the weekend of the TCMS.
We were really looking forward to coming down but alas it is not to be.
We will try to make it next year for sure!!!
Best Regards to All

Sorry to hear that.
That is 8 cancellations in the past week.
We’ll miss ya.
Darn! Was looking forward to seeing y’all again! Hope you can make it next year.
Well just damn.
We will miss seeing you and the Mrs. this year.
This is all for El Roy, I miss El Roy as we all do. El Roy and I were both Oil Field Trash and worked many of the same places but at different times. When I first meet El Roy on the computer at Free Republic and in person at the shoots, it was like an instant brother.

Can’t wait. Bookmark.
Plenty of trees. What more do you want?
(Just watch out for the poison oak.)
I ain’t real thrilled to be backing out but in part due to the weather up here a few things have been delayed so that I have to be around the house that weekend.
Hopefully the “Range” dries out so that y’all don’t have replay of El Gato and the car:-)

I know it would have to be something really important to keep you away. Hope you can make it next year! :)
Call me picky, but I want a toilet, surrounded by four walls, and toilet paper.
I am to old and fat to go squatting in the woods. ;-)
Really looking forward to seeing you and eating your wonderful food.
El Roy was a wonderful man with a huge heart, I miss him and his awesome hugs.
I truly appreciate you for honoring his memory by cooking at these shoots.
Before I ship out the salsa, is anyone bringing a .45-70? I have 2 boxes of 300 grain jacketed that I wouldn’t run through my Sharps. I can throw it in the package too.
Woo hoo! I am so excited. Can’t wait see everyone.
I’m bringing my 45-70.
Why won’t you run them through your Sharps?
You and me both!
Jacketed as opposed to pure lead. I will send them along.
