Bowling Pin Shoot !
- Thread starter 10mmdave
- Start date
Why no 45 ball ammo?
Ball ammo, especially 45 ACP, has a tendency to bounce back off a hard bowling pin or the table. Most factory FMJ manufactured today has an exposed lead back, which is fine. Unfortunately, one would have to pull the head to confirm that this is the case.

Dave is everybody's hero.
Remember the old Michael Jordan commercial, "I wanna be like Mike"?
Well, I wanna be like Dave.

I'm so humbled.....but I'm sure it will pass (until hdgun or a couple others chime in ![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

Shooting pins yesterday was a blast, too bad the snow kept so many away,
it was a blast from the past and I miss those old days and the folks.
Hopefully Massman can schedule another one.
I hope to have some vid's posted later this week, keep you posted.

Had fun as well. It has been a long time (3 yrs) since we did pins. It didn't take to long to remember how tough that game is.
Best part was 10mmDave letting me drive the 6" 44mag on a table with factory ammo after the match was over. NICE!

Only semi-impressive, done back when I was much younger and could see
what I was doing (think I had more hair back then too

)Sorry on the video delay, computer had a brain fart over the weekend,
just got it back up last night. Some vids are on my Utube page, look for "10mmdave"
or "MRA 12-20-09".
Hope label and download the rest tonight.
Vid's finally up !
Look for "10mmdave" or "MRA 12-20-09" on Youtube
Not all of them, and more of me than I like but I had to
show the bad and the good.
If you see a vid of yourself you don't want on there let me know,
I'll remove it.

seriously good videosGuys, it doesn't matter how good you are. Everybody starts somewhere. The important thing (and the only thing anybody really cares about) is that you handle your firearm safely at the matches. You learn so much by shooting the matches. You shoud come out and give it a try. Don't worry about embarrassing yourself. Worry about having a good time! ![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")
When I started shooting matches I could barely hit the broad side of a barn with a pistol. I learned (and am still learning) from all the great shooters I have met over the years. You can learn a little something from everyone and the learning never stops. Thats my attitude about competitive shooting.

They also run Steel shoots that you can shoot a 9mm.

As JKelly stated, you can use your 9mm at the MRA steel shoots but not for our bowling pin shoots.
You can see in the vids the type of tables we use, those pins have to go 3-3.5 feet to go off, we found
9mm's just knock them over and bounce bullets around the range (much like old 45 hardball does)
MRA doesn't run as many pin shoots but they do run a bunch of steel shoots, get yourself a min of 100
rnds, 4 or 5 mags (max in the gun is 10 rnds) and your all set.
Don't forget a bag or something to carry your gun to the line, a holster works to but not req'd.
