Deputy Clifton Taylor Highway Sign Mini Shoot

Earlier this year, the Johnson County Sheriff Deputy’s Association came up with the idea of dedicating a portion of highway I-35W south of Burleson in honor of Deputy Clifton  Taylor. The Chisholm Trail 100 Club committed to assist their  efforts by funding the project. At that time, we were quoted a cost of $3,000.00 for the highway renaming. However, in the  later part of the year, the CT100 Club received an invoice for the much higher cost of nearly $20,000. We are still committed to funding this project, since it is a terrific way to honor the sacrifice made by Deputy Clifton Taylor.

The Chisholm Trail 100 Club is benefiting from a mini clay shoot tournament in order to raise funds for this project.  This clay shoot will be held on December 1st and 2nd at the new Defender Outdoors Clay Sports Ranch located at  8270 Aledo Rd, Fort Worth, TX 76126. There will be three sessions, Friday morning at 9:00am, Friday afternoon at 1:00pm and Saturday morning at 9:00am. Teams will consist of 4 people and the cost will be $100 per person, or $400 per team. A limited number of golf carts will be available to rent at a cost of $75.

This event is not the same as our signature 100 Shots for the 100 Club Clay Shoot Tournament, meals are not provided, there will be no t-shirts or auctions. Scores will be tallied after the event and awards mailed out during the week following the event.

Deputy Clifton Taylor responded to a domestic violence call in April of 2011. Deputy Taylor was shot when he opened the door to the shed where the suspect was hiding. He succumbed to his injuries at JPS hospital. To date, Deputy Taylor is the only law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty since the Chisholm Trail 100 Club was formed.  We pray that we will never again lose another responder.  We are dedicated to honoring his memory and sacrifice.
