Bowling Pin match 9/28 @ MCF&G

[FreeLand]

Marion County Fish and Game's Bowling Pin Match will be this Saturday, September 28th at 9 AM. Setup will begin at 8:15 AM and we would appreciate the help of a few volunteers. The Safety Meeting (required for new shooters) will be at 8:45 AM to explain the rules. At 9:00 AM, we will begin shooting.

I can't be there due to a work conflict. Anyone who has helped R.O. in the past for us, I would be appreciate it if you would bring your whistle and give Don a hand.

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 rules 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 rule, please feel free to email me.

If you are interested in shooting Pin Heads, bring your .22 LR's (pistol or rifle). Also remember you can shoot your BUGs (Backup Guns). The class is limited to .38SPL snub nose revolvers and .380’s pocket pistols loaded with 5 rounds. 3 pins are set on the table at the minor position and the pins must leave the table just like regular brackets. The challenge is both in the shooting and the reloading of your weapon.

If you are willing to help as an RO or help keep score, that would be greatly appreciated.
Hope you have a safe and fun match.

Shoot pins w/ carry gun?

Last month we tested a new "class." Guns with barrels of 3.5" or less of any caliber could load 7 rounds to shoot at 4 pins placed at the minor position on the table. Same placement of pins on the table regardless of caliber (.380 - .45 ACP).

I'm hoping this will encourage people to shoot a gun that you're more likely to carry and still be competitive with the people who are shooting full-size competition guns. These rules are not set in stone. So if you try it, I'd like to hear your feedback.

And of course there is still the BUG (back up gun) class which is for pocket .380's and snub nose revolvers. 5 round limit with 3 pins on the table at the minor position.
