Man, what a blast! There were about 10 people shooting tonight. He does have a very nice range there! I feel like I did pretty good for my 1st time out there. I'll definately be back out there! :gun1: :gun1:
Thanks Tom, for a great time!

I went ahead and shot with my glock 19. I'm better with my 239, but the mags only hold 7 or 8 rounds, so I thought I'd better stick with the glock. I only used 62 rounds total, my dad used 52 rounds total.
Next time, I think I'll take the GSR, I'm more accurate with it than the 19.
Add this to my long list of things to do.
Sounds like fun!

When they first set up the pins, I was like: this doesn't look that bad. I can do this. Its a little harder than it looks. What kills you is when the pin falls over, but stays on the table. If the pin is facing you, there isn't much to shoot at,and you're not done until the pins are totally off the table.
On the last round, I tried to shoot faster, and really messed up. I lost it on the last round. Next time, I'll just slow back down and concentrate on the shot before moving to the next pin.
It was a blast. You've got to try it!

Do you remember your time? I think the guy that won was at 40 seconds, so I've got some practice to do. I wonder if my neigbors would get upset if I set up some bowling pins in my backyard? :gun1:

Just go to the bowling alley. They will automatically set the pins back up for you. More time for :gun1:

I like your thinking! They also have that techno-midnight-thing too. Now that would really make it fun.
Do I still have to wear those shoes?

I would advise against the midnight bowling. The glow in the dark pins might blend in with night sights making it difficult to aim.
The shoes will be optional but if have somer highly advaisable. I've heard they can take 3 seconds off your time similar to stickers on cars.

We need to get a car pool together for the pin shoot. I've always wanted to go but its a bit of a trip to make very often.

My first time was about 90 seconds. I had a few pins that laid over with the end pointing at me.
My best time was about 39 seconds.

I bet you'd be surprised. You'd do better than you think! I had 3 mags and I was afraid it wouldn't be enough, but it was. 3 or 4 would be plenty I would think. :gun1:

Whats the shooting distance? I'm decent out to about 10 yards then drop off sharply.
The Moore Alley would work if we run out of ammo we have WalMart close by. :gun1:

Don't they sale ammo at the pro shop?

My secret weapon just hit me :igetit: A bowling ball mortar. That should have no problems knocking the pins off.
Now you guys don't go stealing my idea. I have proof I mentioned it first.
Who needs a mortar?
I can throw a bowling ball that far.
Just come out to the lanes sometime and watch me. ;)

Was that 2 pins or all 3?
