Match now on the first Saturday of the month!
Marion County Fish and Game's Bowling Pin Match will be this Saturday, June 5th 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.
If you have shot pins in the past and are willing to either help keep score or act as safety officer, I’ll provide the whistle. We may be a little short staffed this month.
Because ammo is hard to find, we may shoot more brackets using .22LR. We can obviously do pin heads, but we can also shoot full size pins placed at the very back edge of the table so that they can be knocked off with .22LR. We will decide at the beginning of the match what people are most interested in shooting and in what order.
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.
