Good story, many.....many...moons ago, several of us tried bowling pin matches, was fun at the time, didn’t catch on though in my area.

A bowling pin match is a great way to learn that muzzle energy is not the end-all, be-all that many people think it is...when your warp speed, lightweight KE king barely knocks the pin over on a square hit...you learn that energy dump is a myth.

Have not fired a pin match in a couple of years but a local club held them up until Covid. I even managed to earn prize money now and then. Definitely a lot of fun for all and good practice.

Definitely a lot of fun, just no interest at my club after a couple matches. Most of the members just like shooting trap and paper targets.

Agreed, my last trip to the outdoor range someone brought bowling pins, I was surprised how tough they were.

Great article. That’s big fun. I have several pins that I set up on the range to shoot with friends and family. Thanks for posting.
