Kevin Baker of The Smallest Minority hosted a Bowling Pin Shoot today at the Tucson Rifle Club Three Points Shooting Range outside of Tucson, AZ. Looking for a good way to disassemble ammunition on my Birthday, Mz. VRWC and I made the trek to Tucson to give bowling with bullets a try.
What is a Bowling Pin Shoot? I’m glad you asked. A Bowling Pin Shoot is a race to shoot all of the bowling pins off of your table, before your competitor clears his or her table. Think of it as a mixture of drag racing, bowling, and shooting, where you race with guns and bowl with bullets. There were three “classes” of shooting; “Minor” (9mm or .38 caliber), “Major” (.40 to .45 caliber), and .22 Rimfire.
Shooting this match was a blast!
This was not my cleanest run at all, but the shooting was so much fun, that I didn’t want to bother with trying to film the other 9 or 10 runs I shot.
Perforated Pins
A big thank you to Kevin for setting up and running the match, as well as lugging the pins and tables to the range. Thanks to all of the other competitors too, whose hospitality and camaraderie truly make the shooting sports rewarding.
What a great day of shooting!
