yeah, I have zero expectation of winning this match. But bringing the tables lets me justify fixing the 92 Dodge, since it has a long bed

Well I will sure pay my $10.00 and shoot at the air on either side of the pin.

I have dimensions for the tables for bowling pin matches, so I'll bring those and pins if people are up for a match.
If no one else volunteers I'll run the match, but I haven't been a RO in 30 years, so caveat emptor applies.
$10 to shoot, winner takes all? OK, I'm stupid. So please explain this bowling pin deal. I'd love to play, but would like to know what the hell this is all about. What are the tables for? I can already tell you that I'll probably lose, but it sounds like fun. Are we talking handguns or rifles? Why bowling pins?

Brian, the game is to shoot the pins off the table as fast as you can.Shortest time cleaning the table wins.

25 yard "Pistol" shoot.
I think 18 rounds total

Brian, the game is to shoot the pins off the table as fast as you can.Shortest time cleaning the table wins. Not exactly - two tables, two shooters at a time, head to head matches. Six pins on each table. At the "go" command both shooters start firing. First one to clear his table wins that round and advances to the next round. The pins must completely leave the table, just hitting them or knocking them over does not count. For major calibers, .40 S&W and up, (including .357 mag) the pins are set at the front of the table. They are set in the middle of the table if you want to use something smaller than .40 cal. You are limited to 18 shots. If both shooters use up 18 shots, then who ever has the fewest pins remaining wins that round. We can talk about how to set up the matches, but at Quemado they set up a consolation round, where the first round losers then were matched up, and went through their own series of matches. the winner of the consolation round faced off against the other winner, to determine top dog. If we have 20-odd guys, this may not be practical from a time standpoint. Safety is paramount, loaded guns stay pointed down. When a round is completed each competitor must show the safety officer that the gun is clear., the crowd stays a substantial distance behind competitors. There's probably other rules, that I don't recall at the moment that eventually we'll get to. Suggestions are appreciated - I've competed in exactly one of these matches and had a fine time, but make no claim of expertise!

An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.
the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

I'm not going to be able to socialize with you gents much as I am going to sit in my stand, with night vision binos if I have to, until I get a bobcat.
You [bleep] taunting me for 9 years ends in March.

Shearer. Bob, you want me to bring a Foxpro for you to borrow? If nothing else you might get a shot at some yotes.
