Bowling Pin Match

Marion County Fish & Game Association
Saturday June 28, 2008

I'll be there at 8am to set up

We start shooting shortly after 8:30

Although the forecast changes daily,
the current forecast predicts rain.
Sometimes they are less than accurate.
Hopefully we will get to shoot pins.


In addition to our regular brackets, we'll be shooting
a bracket of "just the heads" with 22's.
Bring your 22's and extra magazines.

Hope to see you there.

That looks like it would be fun. I might try to sneak out sat.

 

[Pami]

Can you change the title to have the correct date?

 

[Fenway]

I fixed it.

 

[browndog2]

Thanks for the fix.
What date did I have in the title?

 

[nofear]

It is very fun. I've been the last 2 months. Hope you guys (gals too) can come out.

 

[Pami]

Thanks for the fix.
What date did I have in the title?

May 24 Just a bit off. No biggie, I just get confused easily.

so how do these things work? i think the idea of knocking pins off a table as a great challenge.... would be fun! what do you use besides 22lr's? i have 9mm, 40cal, 380 as far as pistols i recently bought a couple pins to try this out in the country just never found a place to go yet.....

heartless,

There's more info at:

Your best bet would be to start with the 9mm, because it is in the
"minor" category. Minor category has the pins placed in the middle of the table, as opposed to major where the pins are nearer the front.
Even with the minor location adjustment, heavier 9mm bullets perform better. 147/148 or 124 wrok better than the standard 115 grainers.
40 cal is in the major category, pins are nearer the front and standard loads are not as effective for most shooters. (note this opinion is from a person who shoots 10mm instead of 40 s&w) Actually the biggest factor is slowing down enough to get solid hits on the pins. (focus on the front sight)

Consider comming out to play.

Pami,

sorry about the date thing
I started with the email from May.
Made the change in the body text, forgot to check the title.
Thanks to Fenway for making the change.

Thanks to all who showed up today to shoot pins.
Rain was not a factor.
