Marion County Fish and Game's Bowling Pin Match will be this Saturday, February 25th at 1 PM. Setup will begin at 12:15 PM and we would appreciate the help of a few volunteers. The Safety Meeting (required for new shooters) will be at 12:45 PM to explain the rules. At 1:00 PM, we will begin shooting.
If we have normal winter temperatures on Saturday, we will be shooting plate racks with bowling pin shaped plates. If we have warm weather (40 F or above) and the ground isn’t too muddy, we’ll shoot real bowling pins. So if there is any doubt, come prepared to shoot both.
I won’t be there this month as I have a job on Saturday. I appreciate Don standing in for me and ask that if you can be there early to help set up, that would great. The plate racks are heavy and it goes a lot easier if there are at least 4 strong backs to help move those things around.
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.
If the weather or roads looks really unpleasant, 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 INGunOwners - Indiana Gun Owners Community by 11:00 AM if it is obvious the weather isn’t going to cooperate.
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 rules 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 rule, please feel free to email me. Be advised the start times listed in the rules are out of date.
If you are willing to help as an RO or help keep score, that would be greatly appreciated.
If you would like to receive e-mail reminders about the monthly matches and notification of cancelations or changes, send me an e-mail and ask to be added to the announcement list.
Have good match on Saturday.
