Hoss Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 One of my favorite places to shoot is Fort Parker. I’m a history buff and this place is special. it’s The fort that Cynthia Ann Parker was kidnapped from by the Comanche Indians. She was later the mother of Quanah Parker, a famous Comanche chief. long range is shot from the fort Blockhouse, thru little gunports. It’s really interesting! You can see/read about the fort here. https://oldfortparker.org/ this match is a major fund raiser for the Fort. We need to keep this piece of Texas history alive. If you’ve never shot there, I recommend it! my guns are packed, I’m going to shoot LR, single shot and big bore lever as well as pistol caliber, both BP and smokeless. I even brought my plainsman guns for the plainsman side match, as well as pocket pistols and derringer. 15 guns all together looking forward to seeing old friends, meeting new friends, and shooting my last multi-day annual of the year. Can’t wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent some time down your way in Ingleside and Corpus. Took me a while to get used to the area but once I did I loved it. I’m betting it’s changed a lot in the 14 years since I was last there.

Those that I am aware of are Mr & Mrs Cloud, that be Cherokee & Silver,, and the legendary Texas Gunslinger. I'm headed down that way in the morning. Perhaps the only entry in FCD, but I need to get to practicing for WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking if the Creek don't rise and the weather holds I might try to slide down on Saturady. Maybe sell a few things. I got some primers that are just sitting around, a couple of shotguns, a Miruku 357 round barrel, maybe a set of SASS Vaqueros in 357. You boys raid mama's purse and turn in some coke bottles, make it worth my while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
