Bowlin Pin Shoot – Tucson, Sunday November 14

Tucson Rifle Club action range. Registration begins at 8:00 AM. Sign in at the range office, but if all you’re going to do is shoot the match, you don’t need to pay the daily use range fee – it’s part of the match entry fee for non-members. $10 for the first gun, $5 each for additional guns. First round downrange (hopefully) by about 8:30.

This one’s going to be a little different.

Centerfire and .22 rimfire will be run as separate classes, other than that, it’s everybody against everybody.

Smallest centerfire allowed: .38 Special. Hollowpoint and flat-point bullets work better at carrying pins off the tables than round-nose or FMJ bullets do, regardless of caliber.

If you show up, you’ll be paired off against all other shooters for one (1) man-on-man competition each. Bring enough ammo. Attendance has been running in the 12-15 shooter range, If you shoot against 12 other people and only five rounds per match, that’s 60 rounds.

Most people take more than five shots.

A LOT more.

Even if you lose the match, you get to keep shooting until you’ve cleared your table. Consider it practice for the next round.

Whoever wins the most tables will be declared victor of the day. Your only prize: the accolades of your peers.

Everyone who hangs around until the end of the match will be put in for the drawing. $1 of each entry goes into a pot. A drawing from the names of those present will be taken, and the winner gets the whole pot. It’s been running about $20, so you get your entry fee back, and a little gas money.

See you next Sunday!
