Bowling Pin Match Saturday June 28

Bowling Pin Match

Marion County Fish & Game Association
Saturday June 28, 2008

I'll be there at 8am to set up

We start shooting shortly after 8:30

Although the forecast changes daily,
the current forecast predicts rain.
Sometimes they are less than accurate.
Hopefully we will get to shoot pins.


In addition to our regular brackets, we'll be shooting
a bracket of "just the heads" with 22's.
Bring your 22's and extra magazines.

Hope to see you there.

Can you change the title to have the correct date?

heartless,

There's more info at:
http://home.comcast.net/~browndog2/bowlingpin.html

Your best bet would be to start with the 9mm, because it is in the
"minor" category. Minor category has the pins placed in the middle of the table, as opposed to major where the pins are nearer the front.
Even with the minor location adjustment, heavier 9mm bullets perform better. 147/148 or 124 wrok better than the standard 115 grainers.
40 cal is in the major category, pins are nearer the front and standard loads are not as effective for most shooters. (note this opinion is from a person who shoots 10mm instead of 40 s&w) Actually the biggest factor is slowing down enough to get solid hits on the pins. (focus on the front sight)

Consider comming out to play.

Pami,

sorry about the date thing
I started with the email from May.
Made the change in the body text, forgot to check the title.
Thanks to Fenway for making the change.
