A simulated mine shaft marks the entrance of the Cowboy Action Shooting course at Shaw's Bend Social Club in Columbus, Texas, where members of the Texas Outdoor Writers Association gathered for the organization's annual Fall Stampede. Comprised of a dedicated group of outdoor journalists, wildlife photographers, and nature artists, the group participated in activities such as clay target shooting, an IABC sanctioned BBQ cook-off, networking, live music, and a two-day rodeo as well as a tour of the property in relevant new vehicles currently available in the automotive market. The trip also consisted of a short stop at the nearby Monument Hill and Kreische Brewery State Historic Sites in La Grange, Texas.
