[herr.baer]

I take it this is with a handgun. What are the rules and restrictions?

 

[Chris L]

Here's link from to an old post about one of the shoots - http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=20609

Here are some of the rules:

Pistols only - semi or wheel gun does not matter. No caliber restrictions (although slower moving rounds tend to do better). There are different classes, .22, stock, modified, optical sights, wheel guns, etc.
No wadcutters or hollow points - round nose bullets only. We shoot at bowling pin silhouettes, basically a flat piece of rubber/plastic in shape of a bowling pin. Wadcutters just cut pieces out of the pins.

The cost is $5 per round. Each round includes 4 or 5 relays where you try to knock down your 6 bowling pins. Each relay is timed, and averaged to get your score for the round. You can sign up for as many rounds as you like. If you win your class, you get a share of the pot.

I saw your match today (observed). Looked like a good time and I met a few nice folks from your group.

If the weather is nice I'll likely be at the range that day; I may try my luck at the pins.

I'd attribute that more to swapping back and forth between guns: 45 for one round, 9mm unsuppressed, then going to suppressed. Next time we'll make sure we get in line sooner and shoot more rounds with each gun.

The next bowling pin shoot is Saturday, April 10 from 1-4pm. Come on out, the more the merrier.

Im sticking with 45 or 40 next round

40 gets the job done, but when it comes to those bowling pins 45 gets it done better.

 

[araugh]

It was a good time. My 22 knocked em down easier last time than my 40 did this time, but I think that may be more to do with the condition of the pins than anything else. All things considered though it was great to get some practice reloading on the clock and my times got better the more I shot, so it was a good day.

 

[snavematt]

if you listen to mine, he started the watch before I shot, uggh, wouldnt matter though

 

[araugh]

Any idea as to when the scores will be posted? I'm sure I probably didn't win, but I would like to see if I did better or worse than last time.

EDIT: Nevermind, got the newsletter, thanks!
