    Match Time Change - 1:00 PM Start Time

    Marion County Fish and Game's Texas Star / Bowling Pin Match will be this Saturday, November 25th at 1 PM. Setup will begin at 12:15 PM and we would appreciate the help of a few volunteers. The Safety Meeting (required for new shooters) will be at 12:45 PM to explain the rules. At 1:00 PM, we will begin shooting.

    If the temperature is in the mid-40’s or warmer, we may shoot bowling pins. If it is colder than that, we’ll be shooting Texas Stars. My suggestion is that you come prepared for both.


    If there is severe weather, the match may need to be canceled. I will try to send an e-mail and post an announcement in the Shooting Sports section of www.ingunowners.com by 11:00 AM if it is obvious the weather isn’t going to cooperate.


    The cost is $3 per bracket for club members and $4 per bracket for non-members. All money goes toward the club and/or making the competition better. Youth (under the age of 18) shoot free with a paid adult.


    Bowling Pin Shooting is conducted under a COLD RANGE. That means all guns must be holstered (or bagged) at all times, unloaded, hammer down, with no magazine inserted. You may only handle your gun at the direction of a range officer (RO), or at the designated "safe table". Violation of this or any other safety rule shall result in a match disqualification.


    If you have any questions about the match, please read the rules posted at: MCFG - Indy Range Official Website - Shotgun, Pistol, Shooting Range (look under "Programs and Events" > "Bowling Pins") If you are unable to find an answer posted in the rules, please feel free to e-mail me.


    If you are willing to help as an RO or help keep score, that would be greatly appreciated.


    Hope you can make it Saturday.

    PCC ok st these?

    If we shoot Bowling Pins, yes. We'll add an extra pin for a rifle. Will also add a pin if you are using an optical sight.

    If we shoot Texas Stars, no. We haven't figured out a way to handicap a PCC. So you won't be able to compete with that. But you're more than welcome to "practice" with it at the end of the match.

    My memory isn't what it used to be (I think) but seems to me that you shot quite well on Saturday.

    Well, I had one or two decent runs but mostly ended up in the second magazine.
    Fortunately on some of those visits to the second magazine, my opponents had difficulties also.
    Two points to Griffindor for "dumb luck".

    I may go to the 1911 next month.

    Nice group of shooters again this month.
    Every seemed to get along fine, despite Don's efforts to cause trouble.
