    Marion County Fish and Game's Bowling Pin Match will be this Saturday, July 28th at 9 AM. Setup will begin at 8:15 AM and we would appreciate the help of a few volunteers. The Safety Meeting (required for new shooters) will be at 8:45 AM to explain the rules. At 9:00 AM, we will begin shooting.

    REMINDER! The MCF&G board has decided that we can no longer leave the gate open during the match. If you are a non-member, you will need to arrive between 8:00 AM and 8:50 AM. At approximately 8:50 AM we will close the gate. This is necessary because non-members have been coming onto the property during public matches and shooting without being accompanied by a MCF&G member. Non-members are still welcome and encouraged to shoot this match. However, the public is NOT allowed to use other parts of the range for free and unaccompanied by a MCF&G member.

    If the weather isn’t cooperating, the match may need to be canceled. I will try to send an e-mail and post an announcement in the Shooting Sports section of www.ingunowners.com by 7:00 AM if it is obvious the weather isn’t going to cooperate.


    The cost is $3 per bracket for club members and $4 per bracket for non-members. All money goes toward the club and/or making the competition better. Youth (under the age of 18) shoot free with a paid adult.


    Bowling Pin Shooting is conducted under a COLD RANGE. That means all guns must be holstered (or bagged) at all times, unloaded, hammer down, with no magazine inserted. You may only handle your gun at the direction of a range officer (RO), or at the designated "safe table". Violation of this or any other safety rule shall result in a match disqualification.


    If you have any questions about the match, please read the rules posted at: MCFG - Indy Range Official Website - Shotgun, Pistol, Shooting Range (look under "Programs and Events" > "Bowling Pins") If you are unable to find an answer posted in the rules, please feel free to e-mail me.


    If you are willing to help as an RO or help keep score, that would be greatly appreciated.


    Hope you can make it Saturday.

    Tom E,

    I searched the web and found no mention of 300 gr pin busters for 38/357,
    so I believe my brain malfunctioned, yet again.

    I did find 230 gr pin busters for the 38/357.
    And 300 gr pin busters in 45 acp.

    A while back (like 15 years or so) I did some experimenting with 300 gr bullets in 45 colt.
    I'm sure they would work well with pins.

    And we won't let hps cut off your hair if the match schedule ever favorably aligns itself again.
