Bowling Pin match 11/26 @ MCF&G

[FreeLand]

What is the distance?

From the shooters box to the front edge of the table is 27'. When shooting a Major caliber (.44 SPL/Mag, .45 ACP, .40 S&W, 10mm) the pins are set 3' from the back edge of the table. For Minor calibers (9mm, .38 SPL) the pins are set two feet from the back edge of the table.

One possibility to consider is that we've started allowing people to shoot BUGs (back up gun) as part of the regular brackets. A BUG is a .38 SPL w/ a 2" or less barrel or a pocket .380 loaded with just five rounds. You shoot just three pins placed at the minor caliber postion on the table. Fun practice for an often carried, seldom shot, firearm.

Will you be shooting BUGs on the 26th I'm interested but only have a 380 right now.

Yes .. bring it and you can shoot it. I'll have my .38spl snubbie and John normally has his.

John just in case, if it is raining we'll shoot plate racks under the porch cover? So, even if it is raining in the morning the match is still on?

Great I plan on being there unless the Boss has other plans I don't know about

Correct, we'll shoot something (probably steel plates from the covered firing line) if it is raining. Can't promise to provide published results like they do for Friday Night Steel, but there will be an opportunity to shoot something a little more interesting that paper targets.

BUGS can be shot at the same time as full-size guns. So come on out.

I'll be there she said I can go play

It really is a blast, folks. More so when you shoot the real pins than when we shoot the pin plates, but even that is a lot more fun than paper. See, the pins don't just fall over off the back of the table when you hit them; sometimes they spin like a top, sometimes they end up on their side pointing at you, sometimes they just kinda "jump" back a few inches...it's a bit less formal than FNS, and a great time.

The only bad part is if you face a really good shooters its over really fast.

So if I understand correctly you don't have to be a member and when you show up the gate will be open? If there is a gate that is.

Correct.

It is a public match. You do NOT have to be a member to participate. The gate will be open.

How many rounds are allowed in a magazine for pin shooting? 8+1? 8?, Full mag? I forget...

8 rounds per mag when shooting full size pins. 10 rounds per mag for pin heads. Bring as many mags to the firing line as you think you might need.

Do they sell ammo at this range?

No, you have to bring your own ammo. No retail on site (although our soda machine works )

 

[Bcampbell]

If you run out of ammo, you have to start throwing rocks.

Good match and best of all, we had many first time shooters.
