during normal pins it is only 8 rounds in the mag at a time. Optics gives you another pin. So it levels to field. (I believe it is 8 rounds). not sure what will happen with the texas star.
8 rounds is correct. Since there isn't a way to add an extra plate to the TX Star, I don't think we'll be able to allow weapons with optics as part of the compettion. (Or rifles for that matter.)
I will try to carry over as many of the Bowling Pins rules as possible to avoid confusion.
How about this method of adding a virtual plate: Shooter 1 has Optics and Shooter Iron Sights; Shooter 1 has to wait until Shooter 2 fire his first shot before he can start shooting; need to add two plates then wait until two shots are fired.
Please give me a clarification on this and other rules..... I might be limited to a Glock 19 out of my current weapons that I have enough (cheap) ammo and mags for if optics are disallowed.....
Here is a link to the basic rules:
http://www.indyrange.org/media/Bowling_Pin_Shooting_Rules_9.14.09.pdf
A few things are out-of-date (i.e. start time) and a few things won't apply (i.e. Major vs. Minor calibers) to shooting TX Stars.
Currently we limit shooters to 8 rounds per magazine. When shooting real pins we add a 6th pin to the table when someone uses a handgun with an optical sight. However, it is not possible to add a 6th plate to a TX Star as there are only 5 arms on the darn thing.
Unless we do something like SingleSix suggests to compensate for the advantage that someone shooting a pistol with optics will have, I think it would be unfair to have two shooters competing against each other when only one person has optics.
If people like SingleSix's idea, I'm open something like that. My goal is simply to put on a fun, safe match
OH! OH! That sounds like fun......!
LOL! Either you have never tried to hit a rapidly spinning TX Star or you have a very interesting defintion of "fun"!
.22 won't knock the plates off. Here a pic of a Texas Star

This is the TX Star we have. According to the manufacturer's YouTube video, you can knock the plates off with a .22LR shot from a rifle, BUT you have to double tap.
