Yep, this is the official announcement.
And this thread will be the official thread reguarding information for the 2010 Grand Muster.

Seeing how my transfer from the Fleet Marine Force to the Grand Army of the Frontier is now official, I will have to make it to the fall campaign out in Tejas next year!

Is It firm on Lockhart for next year's Muster? I was under the impression that next year would be the Dallas area.  Lockhart ain't that close to Dallas. It's closer to Austin or San Antonio. Lockhart does have purty good BBQ.

TEXAS ....... All Right  ;D ;D
I'm interested in where and when this will occur so I can get it on my calendar.  I sure hope it's not on a date in October that I always have an annual Boy Scout function.  I really want to attend a Grand Muster.  Once the particulars are known I'll start working on some folks to attend.  

The Boy Scout Venture Crew 1872 that I work with does the US 4th cavalry dismounted and has a battery of 4 Mountain Howitzers, maybe we could work in some artillery.

Yeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw !!!!!!!

November would be GREAT!!  Make sure it's not the first weekend in November because that will be the date of the SASS Southwest Regional at the Bar-3 in English Texas.  We certainly don't want to conflict with that.

Let's see if I can figure out how to post some photos.  If this works these are 3 photos from our artillery salute on Memorial Day.  We only used 3 of the howitzers, I'm commanding the battery.  ;D

Ok it did not work the first time, let's see if I need to post each photo seperate.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance of Texas geography. I was under the impression that it was south of Dallas.(Which it is, but considerably farther south than I thought)

Lockhart is about 3 1/2 hrs South of Dallas, thats just down the road around here.  About 15 1/2 hours from your house.

GREAT that makes it the weekend after the Southwest Regional !!!!!  It will go on my calendar and I will start spreading the news.  I had the pleasure of shooting at Plum Creek last year when they hosted our Texas State Rifle Association Cowboy Action State Shoot.  It's a Great facility.  Everyone should enjoy it.

Col. Pitspiter, Sir, You're welcome for an overnight stay, though we are a mite far from I-35.  I will probably head out of here that Thurs night or Friday morning.  With coordination, maybe rendezvous and caravan from OKC.

DM, It looks like your K State Wildcats are hosting the Fighting Texas Aggies from Cow College this weekend.  This is Texas/ OU weekend in Dallas. The celebrations are not what they used to be. I attended a few during the 60s as a college student and the 70s as a Police officer. I'm gonna be at home this weekend and not a participant.

Hello JEB, The farthest target engaged and hit with the pistol at the '09 Muster was 211 yards -by Chaplin Little- I think he was running 6.0 gr of Trail Boss behind a 230 gr .45.  I heard some ridiculous rumors those crazy Texans have constructed strange target machines that spin or swing while you shoot at them. Don't know how true the rumors are, but no ones talking targets so it kind of makes me wonder.

Using Google Earth, I think I have the location spotted.
Paste this Lat/Long In the "Fly To" box and I think it will take you there:
   29 49 09N, 97 42 40W

If somebody knows for sure can they confirm this?

If I have it right, all I have to do is get on my horse and head out on a bearing of 168 degrees and go for 1,666 miles.  If I make good time, I'll have to start about the third week of August and I'll get home sometime in February, depending on the snow.........

Using my motorized conveyance it looks like it will be 34 hours of driving (2,095 miles)...........hmmmmmmmm

Would certainly be great to have another member of the Department of the International present!  I have attended five of the six held so far - the first two in Kansas, one in Iowa and last two in Nebraska.  I missed the first year they held it in Iowa because it fell on the same weekend as our local autumn invitational cowboy action shoot.  This year presented the same problem ..... but this time I opted for attending Muster!

Guess no one here checked the NCOWS forum.  Looks like we may have a conflict here as the Ten Horns, located just east of Dallas, hosted the first NCOWS SW Regional on the second weekend in November, 2009.  I know they plan on hosting another regional in 2010 on the same weekend.  Don't know if they will move to a different weekend in 2010.

Cole, That maybe hard to be in two places at the same time.

Lawdog,

That's the idea.  Maybe the Lockhart crew should reschedule for the third weekend and that way shooters who do SASS, NCOWS anD GAF could hit all three matches back to back to back weekends.

The Grand Muster has been planned for the second weekend in November of 2010 at Lockhart, Tx for over a year.  Sometimes you just have to attend the shoot where your heart tells you that you will have the best chance of making that a better shoot by your attendence, as well as that of the others that will be there also.

TS,

The purpose of my post was to let folks know of an existing match on that date in the same general area with an organization that probably shares many members.  I myself am a member of both GAF and NCOWS.  My hope was thatthe GAF event could be moved so as not to conflict with our existing NCOWS Regional weekend.  It is unfortunate that this has happened, but as you say, participants can decide which one to attend. 

Regards,
Cole

I wish every time I wanted to go to an event it didn't conflict with some other event or worked around my time frames.

You folks down there, I was gonna try to see if I could make it to the 2010 muster as a shooter and eat someone else's food for a change.  Right now it don't look like it's going to happen, got a couple offers close to that where not only will I be able to demo dutch oven cooking for some very large crowds, the money is to good to turn down.  Might have to give up deer hunting again as is because I think next years events are going to burn most of the vacation time as is.

Anyone in Central Texas come out next weekend to Plum Creek at Agarita Ranch in Lockhart for our Christmas Match & Dinner.

Capt Mack is trying to get the downloads from Pitspitr, the cost should be $100.00 meals included starting Friday morning thru Sunday noon meal before awards.  Forms online will be here soon I hope.  My computer is not not new enough for all that fancy input stuff, it's kind of like the cap and ball era of computers.

OOOOOOK, Folks. It is now Mid-June and I ain't heard nothin' about the Grand Muster since April 29. So, what is the latest concerning round count, stages, etc. Anybody gonna shoot Staff Officer this year?  Better yet, can you Texicans please get us some "COOL" weather (under 90 degrees) for this year's Muster so the "WOOL" isn't so scratchy? Looking forward to getting "back home" to South Texas, especially now that the Statute of Limitations is up.

Capt. Montgomery and All,

Well the Texicans just returned from the NRA Wittington Center for the last 11 days and will be getting the needed info out as soon as we can.  Main match will be around 100 rounds rifle and sidearm.  Side match rifle and sidearm will be around 15 each and around 35 for a expedition force match. 
Oh and for the weather the chiggers and red bugs might still be in their swim suits you just never know.  Will be getting back soon with more info for all.

Capt. Mack.
sorry to say this far out I'm not sure I will be able to make it. I am trying like all tarnation to see my way there, but work vs. time off is the big bugaboo.

I am definitely sending some excellent prize donations, though, regardless.

Howdy John,

We sure hope you can make it.  It won't be the same without you but I understand.  Jake Jones, Scooter, Sarge & me just got back from the OWSA Nat'l Match in Raton, NM and I know about time off.

Thanks so much for sending the stuff.  It will be greatly appreciated.  Hopefully you'll be here to hand it out.

Capt. Mack,  Glad to see you boys made it to the OWSA match at Raton.  I was there the first week of June for the SHOOTIST'S Holiday. Had a great time and did some more long range revolver shooting. Best time shooting was on sight-in range with "66" at 300-600 yds. They hit but not so sure of a killing shot. A great time was had by all but couldn't stay for OWSA...wife would not allow Bob (SGMJ Cactus Rope) and I to stay together that long, especially with guns.

Looking forward to Muster in Nov. and a return to South Texas (gonna try to get back to Carrizo Springs for a day or so after the Muster.

Just got my Cowboy Chronicles for August and our boys must have raised a ruckus at the Agarita Ranch in March. There is plenty of talk about them in the article. Good work Gentlemen and keep things poppin' for the 2010 Grand Muster.  Don't forget to invite some of these folks to the Muster.
