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.

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!
Actually, I’m all good on pool noodles.
For the moment.
Good deal. Thanks.
Do you have any firewood from yer yard that you can bring?
There is an outdoor fireplace and a firepit ta feed!
You know, I might just.
The disconnect between the parking area and the quarters poses and obstacle.
But not to me, if I ain't got to haul it any further than to the parking lot.
Got a new tree down what needs burned up anyway.
We got us a fleet of golf carts...no worries ‘bout haul’n!
Just FYI
I am bringing a couple of bags of that mesquite wood u get at Home Depot. Got a bunch of old pecan 3-4” limbs cut up in 2-3’ sections too if NYT wants to haul it to cabins. No room in our ride for the pecan stuff.
Ha! I’m already gonna have my SUV loaded up pert dang full as it is...
Per the FAQ of the Lodge’s website, outside wood is not allowed. They do sell firewood in there general store.
Eaker thinks it is because they don’t want weird bugs at their resort ~ he also thinks it is because they want to make more money.
We’ll prolly get kicked outta there the first night for other causes anyway...
That just means party at your house!
Hope folks like tent camping!

I think they're racists.
Thanks for the heads up.
Glad to hear about the golf carts.
Us folks is old, decrepit and don’t walk too good neither.
If you really want to do some pickin by the campfire, I will cut my nails and bring my guitar. I still know one or two songs. Let me know, cause I am going to nail salon Monday and will have to do some serious cutting...lol.
Cut them!!
Will do. Can’t hurt anything but everyone’s ears anyway...lol.
BTW..do you still need help with shrimp? Is there a place there to get them or should I bring some? Since humblegunner is bringing that snazzy cooker, we could do burgers & fries Friday night. Just a thought. Trying to work on my list today. I will bring some sunflower oil if that sounds good to everybody. I make some mean fries.
We’re gonna do food shop’n in Canton after dinner thursday evening.
That way we will have an accurate head count and funds chipped in.
The snazzy cooker will boil or fry but not both.
It is a big pot over a propane fire.
DO IT!
Bring that axe!
