New member. Used it several times this year so far. Hoping to make some of the bowling pin shoots.

I was there also. It was a good time. I wish they would have shot a couple more rounds though. I can't wait till next months shoot. That gives me some time to work on speed and accuracy.

How do you guys train for bowling pin shoots? Do you set up multiple targets somehow? Just practice drawing and shooting a single target?

The best training is actually doing it. Taking shots at multiple targets (just use a target that has multiple bullseyes on it) helps with shooting and moving to the next target.

Bowling Pin Shoots...What are they all about?
WHEN: 2nd Sat. of each month 10 AM - 2 PM (approx.) From Apr-Nov. (Apr and Nov. matches are only heald if weather permits)

2008 SCHEDULE: April 12 (weather?), May 10, Jun 14, July 12, Aug 9, Sep 13, Oct 11 and Nov 8 (weather?)
WHERE: At the first pistol range

OBJECTIVE: Participants are paired with another shooter by random draw and compete on an elimination basis. Object of the Bowling Pin Shoot (pin shoot) is for shooter to be the first of his/her pairing to CLEAR their table of 5 bowling pins placed at 25 feet from the firing line, so speed and accuracy are both factors. Knockdowns do NOT count, pin must completely clear the table.

Winners of each pairing then compete against each other until there is one final winner of that "round". 3-5 total rounds will typically be done for each of the three classes depending on number of shooters. - All participants must wear eye & ear protection

Thats off of the web site, and they do send out emails too.

I hope to attend some over the summer, see ya there!!!

How hard is it to join, before they fill up? That seems like a great range, and pretty close to me. Do I just need to make sure to send in an application on Jan 1st?

Keep an eye on our website - we will post when we will start taking new memberships. Next year we won't start taking memberships until later since doing the membership thing is extremely time consuming and coming during the holidays it tends to make some of our significant others not so jolly when we can't be home to help. I will try to remember to add a thread here when we intend to start taking new members app's.\

Oh it is a great club but I may be prejudiced!
