I know Waders does, and also found out Swifty52 did, but how about the rest of you guys? My club had a bowling pin shoot last saturday and we had a great time. I love shooting with these guys because they shoot very well. During practice last week, I turned in some pretty good times, but i did get my azz handed to me a couple times at the shoot last Saturday. It goes like that, as you guys know. If you have ever shot head to head matches. One thing about bowling pin matches, is nothing is ever a given. If you don't practice much (like me), it's anyone's game. What was funny is a guy running a 9mm won 2 of the "large bore" division shoots. Yeah, most guys were using 45 ACP's and 44 magnums, but the guy running the 9 kicked azz. He's an ex Army airborne ranger buddy of mine and he shoots very well. The next thing that was funny was I won 1 out of the 3 matches with my 9mm. My last match for the final win took me 6 shots to take 5 pins off the table. Not too bad when the pins are heavy with all the lead in them, from the rimfire and mid bore matches. With the extra lead in them, they do not want to roll off the table, so you have to hit them just right.. Here's some practice rounds I did earlier last week. These were shot with my Ruger mkII target model with a 5" stainless barrel and Bushnell red dot scope. Pistol pictured below:
Practice round #1 with Ruger mkII 22lr
Practice round #2 Ruger mkII 22lr
Practice round #3 Ruger mkII 22lr
Practice round #4 Ruger mkII 22lr
Practice round with CZ P09 9MM
If you guys shoot pins, post your experience. How fast do you take them off the table? How far are they away from you? We shoot them at 13 yards. Like swifty52 says, they are a "kick in the pants"....
