OK. It's after the 1st of the year. Time changed already so it is still daylight at 7:00. Are you guys ready to shoot? I would like to shoot Thursday if anyone is interested. I talked with three more yesterday that said they want to shoot. You young guns get a box of bullets and come on out. Show those old farts what you got. Who is coming?

Johnny
March 18th, 2017, 12:55 PM
Count me in. check Mikec,Ken,tyler.They may come

Count me in. check Mikec,Ken,tyler.They may come

I showed up throughout Jan & Feb without anybody else but Tyler and Mike showing up so I gave up in the last couple of weeks. I still try to make Thursdays my range day so I may still be out there.

Johnny it's not looking very good. Chris told me today he is going to be out of town. If it is just you, me, Jeff, and maybe Ken it would take me longer
to drive there than to shoot.

Johnny

You are probably right,lets keep trying to get it going again

Countryboy27012
March 21st, 2017, 07:26 PM
If you would please, keep it posted here when you gents will be out there. I want to try shooting pins, and I was going to try my best to make it out this week. I just want to make sure people will be there before I drive all the way out there.

Johnny
March 21st, 2017, 07:41 PM
I agree when have to drive a good distance.I will try to get mike and Tyler,Ken is out there on Thursday for his range day.

Sourr

7pm at Talon, first time shooters free, everybody else $10 per shooter. After the match there is usually a $5 or $10 buy in for winner takes all.

Gents, I had a blast last night! It's nice to finally meet you Johnny, I wouldn't have been able to tell you were sick the way you were handling the 1911.

To anyone who hasn't been to a bowling pin match, you really should check it out. Someone who didn't hit a single pin in the first round couldn't miss the second round and vise-versa. That little added "stress" of shooting against someone is great training. It really forces you to focus on the fundamentals of shooting. All in all it was a really good time with some good people. I hope to be able to attend next week.

Johnny
March 24th, 2017, 11:29 AM
Yes,lonestein it is except for the 10mm,shoot any platform you want but the smaller cals just do not work


Hope you can make it next week countryboy,enjoyed having you there'

AR pistol in 300blk?

Only if you're a pussy.

Countryboy27012
March 24th, 2017, 01:35 PM
are .45s still the king of this game?

I was doing ok with a .40 S&W, when I could actually hit the pins.

Mikec2003
March 24th, 2017, 05:12 PM
AR pistol in 300blk?if you can keep it's energy at or below a 44 magnum, sure, it is a pistol.

There is a real nice 10mm in the for sale section.[Shameless plug:)].

That 357 mag you shot would have vaporized the pins...if you had hit them. :P

Hey, I hit one with the Mag.... That has to count for something, right??. Besides, the sights were off, The ammo was old, it hasn't been shot in 15 years... It couldn't have been the shooter. Amiright?!?! :rolleyes:

Johnny
March 25th, 2017, 10:57 AM
The only thing that might blow a pin up is the .480,500 maybe.The 357 will not,bring yours out and find out Bitter american

Chumbag II
March 25th, 2017, 11:29 AM
We had a guy out here last year that shot the pins with a 686 and he held his own

Johnny
March 25th, 2017, 11:32 AM
I agree Chumbag,but the 357 will not vaporize the pins.Jim can shoot his 686 well enough to win.

Cattle/Horses

Mapper, did you ever develop any "Rumbler Type" loads for my 686?

AB
March 25th, 2017, 05:45 PM
I'd love to make it out there. I work almost every Thursday evening, though and it kills me not to be able to shoot some pins. Haven't done it in a long time and (honestly) I wasn't very good at it back then. I'd like to see if I've improved!

Coldblood
March 27th, 2017, 09:44 AM
Can't shoot this week. I'll be out of town hunting a few days. Don't worry though, I'll be back next week so you guys can take my money.

Ken
March 28th, 2017, 10:56 PM
Won't make it this week. BRC night-firing on Thursday evening. Y'all have fun.

Countryboy27012
March 29th, 2017, 09:15 PM
The MIL is going to be coming in town tomorrow and I probably won't be able to make it....

Unless I get lucky and piss the wife off where she tells me to get lost.

March 29th, 2017, 09:51 PM
So, has anyone ever got a "strike" in this bowling pin shoot? That 460 might have done it. God damn cannon.

FLT
March 30th, 2017, 12:04 AM
E$ there are 5 pins on a table first one to knock all the pins off the table wins. Any of the guys that shoot pins will beat you if you use a 460. It takes to long to recover from the recoil of the 460.

Johnny
March 30th, 2017, 07:44 AM
Mikec,Tyler we will not have enough people to shoot pins tonight.There will be next week.Ken has night fire tonight,coldblood is out of town,Countryboy has M.L. in town so he will be in the dog house!

I guess with 5 you couldn't really make a triangle, nevermind.

Mikec2003

its that new math where 2+1+3= whatever you feel it should. But yeah its 5 pins in a line with a few inches between them. sometimes after the match we will arrange them in different patterns, which can lead to interesting results

Countryboy27012
March 30th, 2017, 02:58 PM
5 Pins. Lined up straight on the front of the table.

e.money83
March 30th, 2017, 03:02 PM
In other words, no such thing as a "strike". Yeah, that renders the cannon pretty much useless in a race.

Dale Gribble

And that isn't even the half of it. You have to attend to understand, even with a big round they don't necessarily jump off the table, especially towards the end of the night when they are filled with lead.

Mikec2003
April 5th, 2017, 10:09 AM
no, he didnt, but the gun had enough power, when the rounds went where they were supposed to. id say in a semi auto 40 cal is the lowest id go. in a wheelgun, 357 mag.

Countryboy27012
April 5th, 2017, 10:57 AM
You won? oh no, I couldn't hit the broad aide of a barn that night. But the pins I did hit went off the table with no issues.

Johnny

There will not be enough people to shoot this Thursday,Tyler And Mike will not be there.

Ken
June 14th, 2017, 05:18 PM
I'll plan on being there assuming the range has dried out enough that they can drive the tractor around on it. And we don't have to wade around in ankle-deep water. :rolleyes:

Ken
June 14th, 2017, 09:31 PM
Probably not until sometime tomorrow afternoon. I imagine it will depend on whether & how much rain there may be tomorrow. Watching radar today it looks like they got a good soaking. May be too wet regardless of any rain tomorrow.

So reading back through some of the older posts I'm assuming that a 9 would be a pretty big handicap in this contest?

If so, I would love to shoot. But only have 9mm handguns at the moment.

at least .40 cal,9 does not have enough energy to clan the pins off the table would love to have come join the fun.You find out what pressure is shooting against the guy at the other table.

We have several 45's at the shop that you can rent for $10 and use at the match. First time participants do not have t o pay the $10 entry fee, so it would be a wash.

I have shot bowling pins in the past....but never won.

It wasn't because I had the wrong weapon.....or the wrong rounds....it was because I am too deliberate and took too much time leaving room for those who were a bit quicker to win every time.

Out of all the many different and various shoot disciplines and contests for the avid shooter to become proficient in....I would pick the bowling pin masters as possibly the best....and if they could get their head into it..."The Deadliest" gunslingers out there.

I'm starting to sense they need a new tractor driver.

Or give the old one a sling to mow with for a few weeks. He'll then appreciate and take better care of the tractor when it gets fixed.

Ken
August 31st, 2017, 06:34 PM
I think it's a moot point anyway. Based on current radar @ 6:30, I doubt we'd be shooting regardless of the condition of the tractor. Looks like lots of falling water and I hear lots of thunderbooming out that way.
Maybe next week.

well, rumor has it you're not supposed to during a state of emergency and all

A pro-gun website put out some bogus info Tuesday about guns and ammo sales being suspended during a declared state of emergency. It was completely misleading. There is a FL statute that will allow that in a county if a declared local state of emergency exists in anticipation of a riot or other such "general public disorder". It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the gov's declared state of emergency in preparation for the storm. The interwebz has gone batshit over this MISINTERPRETATION of the law and everyone's wringing their hands and over-reacting. There is NO suspension of gun/ammo sales as a result of the current situation.

Recruit class on the range this week but unless something comes up, I'll be there for pins.

Well, after I read the actual executive order declaring the state of emergency, I saw that the governor delegated the powers authorized under FS 252.36 (5)-(10) to the coordinating officer. Doesn't mean they have to exercise those powers because they are to be exercised at the discretion of the governor, but as of the date of that order, they have definitely been enacted. I agree that it's a non-issue, since they didn't even suspend alcohol sales, but the powers are definitely in play. Reference EO 17-235.so it's a non issue, but could be a real issue if we had a socialist turd in the governors office; remember that at election time.

Yes, I should be there. That's the plan anyway. Going to try and do my usual Thursday PM shoot a bunch of stuff and hang around to see if anybody shows up for pins. The only thing
that would interfere is a decision to hit the movie theater for the first showing of the new Blade Runner. But I'll probably just leave that for a early showing mid-week.

That he was. RDS helps too. Still, one dead heat, one to me and one to him (I needed to beat him twice). That second run was what I needed again on the third. Too many misses there. I was shooting like I was still hunting pheasants or shooting skeet. Slap the trigger and watch the target (proper wing shooting procedure), rather than . . . well, see post above.
