Still time to sign up for the Whoopin. Come join us at Determination, Texas for a good time.
-
Every time I try to get the application it says it is unavailable. I want to be sure I am signed up before I make the trek to Tombstone before EOT. Can somebody send me that application DM or at least let me know I am in? I want to make sure I am on the list and I will bring cash money.

Singin Zeke did make the offer. We did thank him but decided it would not work for the club. Went on to establish the range at Flat Creek and now we have a permanent location at Determination, Texas just outside of Blanco. Come out and shoot with us sometime. We are offering a free shoot in January in celebration of the club's endurance. We call it the Homecoming. Lunch will be served too. We are even moving back the shoot start time to 10 am to give folks a little more time to come out and let the sun warm things up. Should be a good time.

The Whoopin, the Tejas Caballeros annual match, is scheduled for the 3d weekend in March, March 15, 16, and 17th, 2024 in Blanco Texas. It will be a 10 stage match with long range, Wild Bunch and speed stage sidematches at the range they call Determination, Texas. It will be a fun match with hittable stages and great ambiance. Put us on your shooting schedule. You can select your posse on Practiscore at https://practiscore.com/whoopin-2024/register .(You will need to create a free login) Whoopin’ Application can be found at https://www.tejascaballeros.net/whoopin-2021.
In the last six years, the Cabs and the landowners built Determination, Texas, which features 10 elaborate covered stages with Boardwalks, a City Hall, an Annex, a Buffalo Camp, Cemetery, Outlaw Cabin, Hotel, Mine Office/Cart and more, Restrooms with flush toilets, Paved roads, a Berm, and a Long Range out to 466 yards. So much work! A common joke among us, was that we were a construction club with a shooting habit!
We made changes to concentrate on shooting. We welcome fast shooters, as well as new shooters.
Recent Improvements are:
- We replaced old target stands with new target stands bought from Two Spurs and Dodger Targets to reduce splatter;
- We moved targets closer;
- We replaced small targets with bigger targets;
- For those who want a challenge, we created a Sharpshooter category with separate targets;
- We created a monthly Wild Bunch match;
- We improved Long Range with a new course of fire out to 466 yards along with 12 shooting tables; and
-
We have New Shooter Classes every 3rd & 5th Saturday, to bring new shooters into the sport.
If you haven’t shot the Cabs recently, give us a try at the Whoopin’, March 15, 16 and 17th 2024.

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.

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.
