Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks for update DS....been suspecting that was the situation. Did you move the watering draught i built probably at least ten+ years ago. ha....and the termites that called it home. Top Shot has the making to be a good spot, a bit far for me, but with time it should gather possibly better (quantity) crowd. Heck, Greenville just was not the same without all the Jacks, wonder what happened to them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Duncan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The new location AND a range owner that WANT'S to work WITH the club. Think it is really going to work out at the new place. As the new range owner is a Cowboy shooter and he really wants to make it a nice place. Could very well be but I'd still highly recommend y'all get an agreement in writing! Club pay a percentage, flat fee or all money goes to property Owner? Club has it's own liability insurance. Rely on the Owner and he " forgets" opens club officers to suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Redacted as it was not pertaining to original posters subject, even though it answered an out of state shooters inquiry. Good luck at the new place, Diablo. And you too, Owen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Al #59168 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 No worries Matthew. The club is still staying a club and taking care of there own business. Just pointing out that the new location and the range owner is really wanting to, and will to work WITH the club and make it a nice place. It's gong to take some work and a little time. But sure does look promising for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 First weekend you could shoot at Fort Parker, both days. Plenty of room for your RV, wet and dry hookups, just about 60 miles up the road from Oakwood. Thety are open year round, you could park there directly after the Oakwood match and stay a week. Don't be fooled by match info at website, they are changing back to first weekend as of March. Lots of history at the Fort, lots to see and do in area. Antiquing, flea markets, etc. http://www.oldfortparkerpatriots.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Parker_massacre JR Joe, Goody, and others who remember SHOOT magazine's "Along the Trail with Billy Boots and Miss Ann"...I believe this was in April 2005 when written.....dern time gets by: I know the shooting range has changed and expanded immensely to better the shooter but the Fort remains so very historic......... Old Fort Parker In December of 1833, the John Parker family, along with several other families who had journeyed from Illinois, began construction of a stockade/fort near the Navasota River in central Texas. The large stockade was built of split cedars, buried in theground three feet and extending up some twelve feet. Two story blockhouses were erected at opposite corners, and within the fort were two rows of log cabins.In March of 1834, the fort was complete and the families of the brothers, along with other members of the group, moved into the fort and began clearing land for fields. Life was hard and security was tight during those early days. except for a short evacuation of the fort during the winter of 1836, life seemed quite secure, particularly after Texas had gained its independence in the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. On the morning of May 19, 1836, while most of the men of the fort were working in the fields, a band of Indians came over the hill to the east of the fort. A lighter skinned man with the Indians displayed a white flag, and though warned not to do so, one of the few remaining men within the fort went out to try and prevent the impending disaster. After talking with several of the warriors, Benjamin Parker returned to the fort, saying the Indians wanted beef, a place to camp, and directions to water. Benjamin returned to the Indians with beef but was quickly surrounded and lanced. The Indians then charged the fort before the gate could be closed. Five settlers were killed and five were captured. The remaining twenty-one survivors were split into two groups. Both groups made their way toward Fort Houston, near the present city of Palestine. The most famous of the five captives was nine-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker who was adopted by a family belonging to the Pahuka band of the Comanches. In time, Cynthia Ann, now Naduah, changed her attitude toward her captors, adopting their language, customs and manners. While in her teens, Naduah became the wife of Chief Peta Nocona. They had three children, one of which became the last great Warrior Chief of the Comanches, Quanah Parker. (It was Quanah Parker who in later years helped the Comanches to adapt to the Anglo-American culture.) In the winter of 1860, Captain Sul Ross and a group of Texas Rangers attacked the Nawkohnees camp along the Pease River. While trying to escape, Naduah and her infant daughter were captured by Ranger Tom Kelliher. Sul Ross noticed Naduah's blue eyes and knew she was not an Indian. After learning her identity, he returned her to relatives in east Texas; however, she could not readjust to Anglo-American society and died in October of 1864, at the age of 37, only six months after the death of her daughter, Prairie Flower. Legend maintains that she died of a broken heart, longing to return to the free life of the Comanches. Old Fort Parker, the United States' only large stockade of upright split cedar logs built by settlers and not by soldiers, is now a beautifully restored historical site. Visitors can step back in time and try to recapture the atmosphere of that fateful spring morning in 1836 as they explore the cabins and climb the blockhouses. Sound exciting? Well believe me, it is. But if you also happen to be a Cowboy Action Shooter, there’s more. On the first weekend each month you can also enjoy a fine SASS sanctioned match just outside the walls of the fort on the very ground the Parker family…and the Comanche Indians rode. The match is hosted by Texas’ newest SASS club, the Fort Parker Patriots, whose officers are Silverhawk, Splintermaker, Slowaz Molasses, Texas Irish Princess, and Naduah Nocona. Not only is this possibly the only SASS club with such a unique, historical setting, but few CAS shoots have grounds that are complete with a huge RV parking area of thirty-five hook-ups, very nice on-site lodging (at very reasonable prices), and numerous clean restrooms. The site facilities are run by the lovely Sarah McReynolds aka Naduah Nocona. Sarah as Park Director, and with a mostly voluntary staff, keep this park, which besides the lodging buildings, has a visitor center with gift shop, dining room, and full service kitchen, perfected for all visitors. Sarah even takes time to cook and serve delicious meals for the shooters on match days. Miss Ann and I were at this facility for the first time on a wonderfully warm and sunny early spring weekend in 2005. The bluebonnets, wisteria, Indian paintbrushes, dogwood, and many other flowering plants were gorgeous. There were several other events taking place on this same weekend so shooters were scattered out making attendance a little thin at Fort Parker. Nevertheless, twenty-one shooters showed on Saturday and sixteen on Sunday. The stages are basically of the storefront variety, but allowed for sufficient challenge. Targets were for the most part not of the large variety, however they were of excellent material and placed at appropriate distances in regards to size. oupling the stages and targets with well-written scenarios proved to produce an excellent match for fun and level competition. When a shooter can combine shooting and fine meals with such a historical location and absolutely fantastic facilities, it is saddening to leave. However, it certainly makes one ready to plan a return. Hope you will plan a trip to Old Fort Parker real soon. (Old Fort Parker Historic Site is located between Mexia and Grosebeck one mile off Hwy 14 on Park Road 35. The Fort is situated approximately forty miles east of Waco and 1.5 hours south of Dallas. It is open Wednesday through Sunday. For more information about the club, Fort Parker, Cynthia Ann Parker, and/or Quanah Parker visit http://www.oldfortparker.org/ .)
