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 $125.00 deposit is due at the time you make your reservation, with the balance due when you check in.

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.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in October!
Gotcha.
Thanks a bunch!
Cool!
Why not bring them yourself?
It’s the Ebola. They’re skeered of us. ;p
Well, if true, that’s really a shame.
Thanks for info! Looking forward to seeing everyone.
WooHoo!!
Please feel free to call me direct if you need anything last minute that I can help with.

Hey anyone know what the max yardage at the range is? Difficult to tell from the aerial view what's range, and what isn't.
I think there are a few 500 yard gongs.
ping for Bacon Man’s question:
anyone know what the max yardage at the range is?
Sweet! I’ve never shot at a target that made noise before. Is there a place for trap/skeet?
I don’t know about trap or skeet but plans are for
various targets to get throwed in the river.
To include some road flares tacoed into some pool
noodles which makes for flaming smoking floating targets.
And that makes everyone happy.
Trap and Skeet is welcome if you have a clay pigeon thrower.
We can launch em across the river.
I know there is 400 yard range.
There is supposed to be 500 yard range now but I have never shot on it.
BRING tennis balls!!
I'm grinning ear to ear just thinking about that!
I have a hand thrower. I’ll bring it!
I can’t believe it’s almost here! We’re really looking forward to it. We can use the bed of my truck again for the buffet table. :)
Whoever puts ‘em out.. wins.
...and hopefully that range will be fixed and the gongs painted.
What do we win?
