I don't want to steal business from Texas City, but you might want to consider the
Galveston Rifle and Pistol Club. It's about 20 minutes closer to the ferry landing than Texas City, costs $60 a year, and you can shoot during daylight hours every day. The facilities are pretty bare-bones.
I guess I should add that I am a director of the club.

OK... It was a CB Radio "handle" from the early 70's.

Being 6'4" from Glasgow, spent alot of time back home being called big yin, basically translated to big one. when I first went online the screen name bigyin was already taken so i just added another g and stuck with it ever since.

Maybe Billy Connolly beat you to it.
My clan left Scotland before 1729, and landed in America before 1750. Doesn't stop me from having a taste of The Macallan now and then, though.

Works for me!

Of course, that's literally true in my family... the hubby and I both work for the great State of Texas, and our son is a Fed.....
Welcome to the forum - Love your intro!

My user name is actually the first three syllables of the last name of a very good friend of mine.
He's gravely ill and this is my small way of honoring his name.

I bought a 1968 Impala SS Convertable when i was 14 (I had been saving since I was six). It was the most beatiful... rusted ugly hunk of crap I had ever layed my eyes on. BTW I did fix it up and still drive it occasionaly.

I used to go caving a lot.
I tend to think like a caveman...simple, straigt-forward,black and white...not always a good quality but it's what I am.
I like the character from the comic strip BC. Seems to be the most underated character but always seems to come out on top.
