Range Status 07-01-09
Fellow Caballeros and Guests,
I’m happy to report the new shooting range home of the Tejas Caballeros is progressing very nicely. There is a new bridge eight feet wide and 56 feet long that spans a tributary of the creek and provides access to the Black Diamond Silver Mine. Shooters shoot from a free-rolling mine car. We may open individual investment opportunities if the silver ore assays as high grade as we expect!
Our range is sited in a long narrow valley, heavily wooded and shady. We have cleared a firing line of about 450 feet by 150 feet that is mostly flat on the north side of a winding (dry) creek. On the other side of the creek (downrange) is a 100-foot high bluff that provides a natural bullet stop.
We have cleared enough trees and brush on the firing line to establish six stages with more planned. The registration building is up and a picnic area with cook tent is in place. The east end of the firing line has distance for Cody Dixon and long range rifle and pistol that we will be clearing soon.
We’ve cleared space for a turnaround on the firing line that permits shooters to drive down to the line for unloading their gear before parking in the designated parking areas. The monthly top clean match shooter gets reserved parking on the firing line for the match following their top clean match shoot.*
Our host, Flat Creek Crossing Ranch, has cabins, lodges and a campground facility nearby. There is even a cowboy dance hall on the ranch that we may use for special events.
Overall, the Flat Creek location is an idyllic site that with work and cooperation will become a premier cowboy shooting range.
Join us for fellowship and a good shoot,
Judge Menday
