    Match Time Change - 9:00 AM Start Time

    Marion County Fish and Game's Bowling Pin Match will be this Saturday, April 27th 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.

    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 INGunOwners - Indiana Gun Owners Community by 8:00 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 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 to see you on Saturday.

    Looking forward to shooting some Pin Heads.


    Be on time. If it is cold in the AM, we might shoot pin heads first bracket. Pin heads are less likely to shatter if the wood is cold.

    This hasn't been an "official announcement". Just saying... that aside from the safety rules, everything else is flexible.

    We had great weather. Glad you slept in because we didn't end up shooting pin heads. I would have felt bad if you had gotten up early to find that only you and one other person really wanted to shoot pin heads.

    Maybe next month.
