Not heard of it. Where is it?


Funny thing about getting older:
Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to
see through people's BS gets much better.

Shotgun side is great, can't speak for rifle/pistol, but I would assume very good based on everything they do.

Went to high school with the guy that owns it. Not sure if he has a partner in it or not but I have heard good things about it. I need to get out there sometime and check it out myself.

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

That would be David. He and his wife Maryam are the owners of the 500 acre ranch. Met them yesterday, very nice folks.

Fossil Pointe has several sporting clays courses. I think it's the green course (the one on the creek as you come in) has lots of trees. The trees make it nice even during the summer heat. Nice facilities and good people as well.

Yep. I’d love a deer stand in the middle of that course.
