I had a chance this weekend for the first time to shoot bowling pins.
While i could have used a variety of handguns, for whatever reason i was using a model of 1955 smith&wesson in .45acp.
these were berry's 230grain plated roundball at about 850fps.
As the game progressed, the pins, easy enough to hit, would more lay down than go off the table, explained to me as the pins were filling up with lead.
Which causes me to wonder, is there a best place to hit the pin?
what would be the optimun firearms/round to do this?
I seem to lean towards the idea a semiauto might be an atvantage, subject to what kind of projectile/velocity one was using.
I do know a certain member here had no problem air launching them with a 500.
I with limited knowlege seem to lean there is a connection between power, but yet retaining speed to clear the table.
thoughts?
