BOWLING PIN SHOOT– Proposed– sign up sheet at club if interested

 

Introduction

Bowling pin shooting consists of shooting at (and knocking off) 5 bowling pins placed

across a table 25’ from the shooter. All the pins must be shot off the table for the table

to be “cleared”, if a pin is knocked over and lies down on the table, it must be shot off the

table’ There is no maximum amount of ammo that can be used to clear one table, but there is a 15-second time limit for each table. (max ammo in mag is six, same as revolver)

 

Targets

Regulation size & weight bowling pins used for Centerfire matches.

The heads cut off bowling pins are used for .22 rimfire matches.

 

Equipment

Any centerfire pistol cartridge (except 44mag, 454 Casull, 50AE, etc. Hollow points and wad cutters are NOT allowed except as noted. 9mm/38 must use hollow points or wadcutters.) may be used for centerfire matches. Only .22LR can be used for rimfire matches. Although most

shooters prefer to use semi-auto pistols, some do use revolvers. As with any shooting

activity, safety glasses and hearing protection is required for the shooter and the

spectators as well. Should have 3 magazines or 3 speed loaders.

Note about the Trap shoot, chili cook off and super bowl party

 

   6 people showed up for the trap shoot, which i won (John) this year, it was a fun time. one person showed up with chili for the cook off and hardly any other members showed up to participate in the activities that had been planned and advertised. I left around 3:30 due to other commitments and from what i understand, the club was closed at 6pm due to lack of participation. I know some are unhappy because the club closed and cancelled the super bowl party. Without knowing the particulars, i know Ed and Dave went out of their way opening up the club, preparing food and such for this yearly event. The expense, i am sure, came at a loss to due lack of participation.

   As for the people who planned on showing up after 6pm, i apologize for the inconvience on behalf of the club. I am sure if they knew you were coming, the club most likely would have stayed open. Sometimes you have to make decisions based on the day’s events and it didn't look good, especially when finances are tight in this economy.
