Ain't sure about their campin' deals, but a bit farther and, I for one, would love to have you visit LSFSC an' shoot with us. Just be ready for "sweltering", might not be as "hot" as LV, but it ain't a "dry" heat! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olen Rugged Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Depends on when you are comin' through: Come on down!

Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Comanche Trail Shootists , near Midland , shoots first Saturdays , which will be July 2. It is just a little further south of Lubbock , 'bout nuther 150 miles. Far as camping ,I believe you could camp at the range , but it is about 22 miles from town. There is a nice little park here in Crane , or you could park in my driveway. Come on down , Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Hacker, #60477 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 "Close" is a relative term in Texas, but you can park it by my barn and shoot a different SASS club every Sat and Sun for the whole month if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Unless you plan on continuing your vacation after EOT Texas would be waaay out of your way as we are quite a ways east of Founder's Ranch. The closest club to EOT would be the Canadian River Regulators @ Clarendon, a distance of 290 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Al #59168 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Christmas in July in Abilene put on by Texas Slim and his bunch of misfits is a good fun little annual. Don't know about camping. Shooting at the Bar 3 on the 3rd weekend. He has hook-ups. But if you wanted to dry camp. Bet Bone would go for that. And like Mack. If close or going through and need to stay around here. You could put in here. Plug into the barn and not worry about it. Got water outlets all over. Oakwood Outlaws on 2nd weekend is a great place to shoot also. But then. None of the above is that close to NM border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeldust Dan, SASS #2631Life Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Madd Mike, Come on over! Canadian River Regulators shoot the 2nd, 3rd and 5th Saturdays just outside Clarendon, Texas. From Founder's Ranch you'd head east on I-40 to Amarillo, then southeast on US 287 50 miles to Clarendon. The Bar H Dude Ranch, where we shoot, allows campers. I believe there is a very modest fee. We'd love to have you stop in and bust some caps with us. Steeldust Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiowa Kid, SASS #69870L Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Howdy MM, How about you come shoot Hell on Wheels in Wyoming, 7hrs due North in Cheyenne WY, it's the next weekend after EOT. KK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty 32263 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Mike I will be at my place in san angelo in july I have a couple of hookups you can leave your trailer there and make a bunch of shoots all in about a 1 to 1 1/2 hr drive might be shorter the way you drive. and its just a couple of hours from your daughter.

Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The SASS Wire clubs/events/schedule page says the Canadian River Regulators shoot on the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th SUNDAYS. We don't. We shoot second third and fifth SATURDAYS. Never shot on Sundays except at the annual. July has a fifth Saturday. We will have a combined Wild Bunch/Cowboy shoot that day. Come on. The food at the Bar H is great. Camping is cheap and Frank and DeeDee will treat you right. You can also hunt hogs year round if ye've a mind to. Come on. Edited to update: the clubs page has been fixed to show us shooting on Saturdays instead of Sundays. thanks to whoever finally took care of that for us. The other club I shoot at (in Pampa not Canyon)has no camping and no vittles. Everyone has to leave after the steel is on the trailer and then we lock the gates. Non-SASS match on 4th Saturday. MM, you'd like that little shoot as the rifle targets are out there where they used to be "back in the day". There has never been a shoot in Canyon. We were almost to Canyon when we shot at the old Amarillo city range but that's been better part of a decade now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four Bucks #36386 Life Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Mike, I finally got to shoot in Texas this past Fall. I shot the Halloween match in Cleburne and then Comin' Atcha. Man, are you in for a treat. Good bunch of folks down there...for a little state. They sure know how to have a good time and treat visitors like family.

Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Mike, I am pretty sure you can find a job in Amarillo. It has about the lowest unemployment rate there is and there is always construction going on there. Then you could shoot with us every week-end but the first week-end.

Wrangler Jones, SASS # 64178 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I can live on road kill (food wise) Well, then, you won't starve in Texas!

Texita Draw SASS#77940 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Check out the Shortness Rangers shooting club. The range is actually in Oklahoma but it is just across the river from Wichita Falls, TX 1st Saturday and 3rd Sunday. Great bunch of cowboys.
