BOWLING PIN MATCH

About this event

Sign-up at 9:30 a. m. – Shooting by 10:00 a.m. on Range #5 |

Cost: $15 for Non member & $10 for Members

Rim-fire (22 long-rifle) Handgun Shoot on Pin Tops and Steel Plates


A Pin Top is the top part of a bowling pin starting at the red stripe on the neck of a pin. A set of crossed Bowling Pin shaped steel plates will also be used as the final target to be shot. Steel plates may also be added as additional targets, for a total of 5 or more targets.

The starting position will be “low ready” ; the table set in front of the shooter will have additional magazines or rounds. The firing line will be approximately 30 feet from the front of the pin table.

In the rim-fire match you win by being the first shooter to get all your pin tops on the ground, all steel plates knocked down, and the first to knock down the steel bowling pin stop plate. The shooters will come to the line 6 times with 5 or more targets each time. Minimum rounds needed = 90. Plan 150-250 rounds, it may take more than one hit to get a pin top off the table. Also, you may miss a few times.

Any 22 long rifle rim-fire handgun may be used. Shooters are limited to 10 rounds in the gun or to the capacity of their opponent if less than ten for their first magazines. If you use a gun with an optical sight, your opponent will be allowed to take one shot on command from the range officer prior to the start of your turn. This means that if you choose to use an optical sight, your opponent may have only 4 targets left on the table when the whistle blows to start your turn.

Shooters will receive a win or loss depending on who finishes first each time to the line.

A shoot-off will be held if needed to determine the winners. The optical sight penalty will apply in the shoot-offs.
