Howdy Howler!

I'd like to hear more about what is going on in Oct. My regular range in Dallas was closed for a while last summer so I went to Quail Creek. http://www.quailcreekrange.com/

I really like Quail Creek (trip to Cabela's always included), but with gas the way it is now, I pretty much stay local.

Tell us about your club!

James

Fairly New to the club some of my friends from work got me to join. we shoot the 3rd Sunday of each month just frendly compitition. and have a three day vous the same weekend in Oct. the club fees are only $20 bucks a year and you can come to the range whenever you want to. As far as the monthly shoots its only $2. per person and this helps to fund the club its the Auroea gun club they owners prefer only smoke poles. As far as the range it is basicly a field that has a good area for shooting, we have some paper target stands and some steel targets set up on the range. I'll be going Sun the 15th if you are intrested. drop me a line or PT me and Ill give you my Phone # and see if you want to come out and give it a try what part of the area do you live in I know that QC did not like smoke poles there when I shot at that range but that was years ago. IF you shoot at Quail creek you are only about 20 miles away. :thumbsup:

Howdy semi-neighbors, from Canyon Lake, Texas (near New Braunfels, at the bottom of the Hill Country). I've been shootin' frontstuffers since 1976. I own some suppository guns, but never shoot 'em. I have a rendezvous group and a laid back monthly match group, and I do reenacting of the battles for Texas' independence. Rendezvous X is coming up in April and our 56th monthly match is on the second Saturday of February. C'mon down. I can foretell the future, I'm gonna die at the Alamo in March, but I'll be in good company.

 

[TxRambler]

Old Grey Wolf,

I plan to see you again at La Vernia in April, and maybe at San Jack? I'll be Mexican again, so..
Shoot ya later.....

 

[Joe Wolf]

Will you be at the Alamo or Goliad? Goliad is my favorite Tex Rev event.

 

[TxRambler]

Goliad if work permits, also at WOB for Independance Day, and George Ranch for Runaway Scrape.

 

[TxRambler]

Grey Wolf,

I cannot find the flyer for April's get together in La Vernia, what are the dates again please? Trying to update the calender. Keep in mind the San Jacinto battle on the 25th.

Thanks,
TxRambler

 

[Joe Wolf]

Rendezvous X at La Vernia is on April 3-5, with the 2nd an early setup day. I will look up your email address and send you a flier, events schedule and a map. Fritztown Free Trappers has a rendezvous on March 20-22 near Enchanted Rock. Are you interested in that? My segundo at La Vernia and I will be running a 15 shot rifle match for F'town. All buckskinners are welcome at both events.

 

[Joe Wolf]

What's up with all of you central Texians? There must be some of you out there. We are active around these parts with two Texas Free Trappers rendezvous, two Fritztown free Trappers Rendezvous and White Smoke Brigade's laid back monthly black powder matches. We just had our Match 58, so our fifth anniversary is comin' up. We'd like to welcome some new shooters into our three groups.

Several of us take part in the main battles of the Texas Revolution of 1835-36. We need more Texians, Tejanos and Mexican soldados too.

I'd like to hear from you at [email protected]

Keep an eye on the horizon.........

 

[bdhutier]

We need to get some participattion from the Okies and New Mexicans.

Marc, does it help if I'm a New Mexican living in OK? :haha:

Our house is down in La Vernia, where abouts do you guys 'vous???

Grey Wolf, sorry I haven't gotten back to you about the knives... been tied up between being sick, and starting a new job. Do you have any patch knives w/wooden handles? It's something I'd like to carry around daily as a small belt knife as well as when I shoot.

 

[Joe Wolf]

The La Vernia rendezvous site is on CR 342 about a mile from the big white water tower. It's on 800 acres that was part of the "Dagger Ranch" of the Wiseman family, founders of La Vernia. The current landowner's son lives across the road in an 1870s house.

I have several patch knives for sale. Email me for pictures.

 

[Joe Wolf]

OK you Texans, Fritztown Free Trappers Rendezvous is coming up on October 9-11 and Texas Free Trappers Rendezvous XI will be on November 13-15.

For shinin' times and good competition come on out to La Vernia.

Email me offline for information.

 

[bdhutier]

We're hoping to be able to take some leave back home to LV about that time... I'll drop you an email if it's going to work.

 

[regansm]

Do you Free Trappers mind a few Eastern Longhunters showing up at your rondys? I'm from Cowtown and there are a few of us here that might be able to attend either or both events.
