    ATTENTION - 9:00 AM Start Time

    Marion County Fish and Game's Bowling Pin Match will be this Saturday, April 25th at 9:00 AM. Setup will begin at 8:00 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.

    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: 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 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 volunteer as an RO or help keep score, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Hope to you can make it on Saturday.

    Will you shoot under cover for the rain?

    I won't be there this month due to a work conflict. Don B. will be running the match and I can't speak 100% for him, but in the past we have shot steel from under the covered firing line. You might want to check this thread Sat. AM before leaving for the match in case there is a last minute change or cancelation.

    I know a couple guys were filming, maybe they'll post a clip here. Thanks to the 'gent who took this for me. This is a clip of me screwing up and swinging right past my popper and hitting the other one. Oh well, I had a lot of fun shooting today!
