More Cool Shooting Fun at Whoopin'- Team Shoot and Duel Plate Challenge Consider signing up for our team shoot, which will be held Saturday afternoon after lunch. Inspired by the shootout in Open Range, a team of 4 shooters will engage pistol, rifle, and shotgun targets, all the while ferrying a teacup and saucer to each position, with a final shooter playing Boss Spearman shooting it out in the jail with the evil cattleman Baxter, . And challenge your buddies to the Duel Plate challenge featuring the 6 target Dueling Tree. Each of you will have 3 dueling tree plates on your side. You will have 10 pistol rounds and 30 seconds to try to swing the dueling tree plates to your opponent’s side. The one with fewest plates at their side after 30 seconds wins. Be sure to bring heavy enough loads to flip the dueling tree plates. Ya' gotta shoot the Cabs!

We have dry camping on the range. RV spots in nearby Johnson City at Road Runner RV Park to the North and an RV park to the South called Terraqueous RV Park.. Tillman RV Park is just west of Blanco.

Oops! I didn't get the memo. We are starting an hour later. So here is the correct start time: 8:30 ~ Range Opens 9:00 - 9:30 ~ Registration, Free Coffee, Juice, Pastries , Breakfast Tacos 9:45 ~ Safety Meeting (Mandatory) 10:00 ~ Hammers Down, (Inaugural Shoot Begins) I hope that you can make it.

Actually, The range opens around 7:30 am. There will be free coffee, juice, breakfast tacos, etc. Safety meeting will be at 8:45 with hammers down at 9 am. Should be some good fun. The Mine Cart is back, the Saloon is back, and we have added the Jail for those reprobates that need it (Listening No Horse?). We also have the Outlaw Cabin, a first for Central Texas shooting, where we get to Go Downrange in shooting. Ought to be a hoot. Come on out this Saturday January 21 and help us christen this new venue.

Hey Larson. I asked for Senior Classic Cowboy. If enough of us ask for that, will that be a recognized category? Ghost and I are long in the tooth, and I suspect we can scare up 4 or 10 others.

Best wishes for a successful surgery and a swift recovery, Want to see him out there shooting again soon.

I think it is a good idea for every annual to give the shooter something to remember the shoot by. But I wouldn't call it a "participation award " as that has some bad overtones in today's world. At Plum Creek we reserve the buckles or trophies for those who place in the top 5 or top 3 depending on the category and number of folks in the category. What we give away to all shooters I would not call it an award--we include them in the shooter's packet when they check in. We always provide the shooter with an identification pin with their name on it and the name and date of the shoot. We also have given out a coffee mug, a pen, a bag for empties with the name of the shoot on it, and other similar items with the view that someone who pays a fee to attend an annual should have something tangible to remember the shoot by even if they don't place high enough to win a buckle. I have a whole collection of the shooter identification pins from annuals that I keep around, and I use the bags and coffee cups and pens I have gotten from other shoots regularly. Every time I pick one up it recalls to me that fun I had there. Such gifts provide a longer term value in addition to the memories.

Planning to get my application in the mail today. Great place to shoot and great people. Glad they are stepping up to help the TSRA political action committee, especially with the legislative session coming up.
