Bowling Pin Shooting

[cbrussell]

Is there anyplace in the area that holds bowling pin shooting matches? I used to love those matches and would like to get back into it.
Thanks

BCGF has then occasionally. Check the calendar. Not sure if they are open to the public.

I checked out their website; seems open only to members but I could be mistaken. Perhaps a member will chime in.

Salisbury gun club typically does one on the 5th Saturdays of the month. So that's only like 3 or 4 matches a year. Probably pretty far from you.

I was just going to mention them. I was a member there for a couple years and dropped last year.

*****Several Izaak Walton Leagues in the area have them. Damascus does for sure as I’ve been an RSO at them before. Usually once per month in warmer weather.

It's a haul, close to Lancaster PA, but Mt. Joy Sportsmen's Association does them - my FIL took me and the boys last year. Not sure when they restart or if it's open to the public. Seemed pretty casual, decently run, friendly RSOs - we had a lot of fun. https://www.mountjoysportsmen.com

Do you need to register online for Monocracy bowling pin matches?

BCGF allows us to bring guests. We shoot pins on Thursday nights through the spring, and I believe it starts back up pretty soon. Let me know if you want to try it out.

What exactly is a bowling pin match? I understand of course that you shoot bowling pins, but what all does it entail as far as scoring, distance ect? If you don’t mind me asking, I know I could probably google it.
I dig reactive target shooting. I just recently got to shoot steel plates with both handgun and long distance rifle for the first time.

Pins are set on a table. You shoot them til they fall on the ground. Fastest time wins.

If you wing one, instead of falling, it tips over and spins everywhere, and the bullets go flying. Hilarity ensues.

If you are a member at AGC, looks like the Stemmers Run folks are holding a bowling pin shoot on March 4th from noon to 4:30p.

This is a little different as they are steel plate racks with plates in the shape of bowling pins, not actual pins . Still fun though
