Match now on the first Saturday of the month!
Marion County Fish and Game's Bowling Pin Match will be this Saturday, May 1st at 9:00 AM. Setup will begin at 8:15 AM and we would appreciate the help of a few volunteers. The Safety Meeting will be at 8:45 AM to explain the rules. At 9:00 AM, we will begin shooting.
Because ammo is hard to find, we may shoot more brackets using .22LR. We can obviously do pin heads, but we are considering shooting full size pins placed at the very back edge of the table so that they can be knocked off with .22LR. The email I sent asking for input resulted in no clear consensus. So we will decide at the beginning of the match what people are most interested in shooting and what order.
REMINDER! If you are not a member of Marion County Fish and Game, you must arrive by 8:45. The MCF&G board wants the gate closed during the match to prevent trespassers from using other parts of the range. The gate will be open from approximately 8am to 8:45am. If you are a member, your membership card will work as normal to open the gate if you arrive late.
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 7:30 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: https://indyrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/pinrules2016.pdf (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.
Hope you can make it Saturday.
