[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1514477, member: 11766"] bowling pins are best shot with a 45 ACP. The BP matches I've been to have been started from "Low Ready". The trick is getting the pin off the table and on to the floor. The tables are wide...knock a pin over---it may or may not roll all the way off. So you have to keep shooting till it rolls of or anothr pin helps the others off as it falls and spins. I've seen BP shooters run revolvers in 38 special and Semi's or revolvers in 40 SW and 10 mm too.... but 45 seems to be the "A" choice. I've shot hardball ammo... but some folks prefer lead bullets. The lead flattens and "sticks" a little better on contact. FMJ sometimes glances off and doesnt always push enough energy into the pin to clear it. Bowling pins have a weird center of gravity so every little bit helps. My wilfe's work is doing paintball this Saturday (dont ask..."teambuilding") so I will probably get "killed" by an rookie. If not for that obligation I'd be heading out. [/QUOTE]
