You musta been the only one that had ammo. :innocent0

Were there many people participating in the match?

Vile Shadow · May 4, 2013

Not really. Maybe 30 people.

First round, 6 shots 8 seconds all pins down. The rest though? Not even close. :sad20:

Beginners' luck I reckon. Was fun though. I'd do it again.

Will a .357Sig 125gr HP loaded to 1300 ft/sec do the trick on these pins?

I also have a S&W 629 in .44 Mag but that has only 5 rounds in the wheel.

Absolutely. They're the steel silhouette flip up kind.

I used a .45. A .44 mag's probably fine. But I would suggest getting yourself about 3 or 4 speedloaders to make your life WAY easier. The poor fella I timed had a hell of a time with his revolver trying to reload it before the 30 seconds was up.

Thanks, I must have read too fast and thought they were real bowling pins that can be a pain to knock off some tables with the smaller/lighter pills.

I know that the .357Sig does an impressive job on steel silhouettes and if 13+1 rounds are not enough I can (and should) throw the gun at the pin

When is the next shoot?

Vile Shadow · May 5, 2013

That's ok. I was expecting real bowling pins too.

I dunno when the next one is. I found out about this one here. Try looking up Stemmers Run Gun Club or whatever it is. I think it was their deal.

Dammit, I'm gonna miss the next one too! Argh!

Glad to hear people went and supported the club. It's a fun event.

He wants Jac43k's hot meat! :innocent0

Sorry bud, I couldn't resist that opening.

jac43k · May 21, 2013

And pulled pork at the next shoot on June 1

I have a quick question for those who have shot this before. I looked on Stemmers Run website and didn't really see procedures or rules anywhere. Do you shoot from a holster or a static position with firearm already aiming at the pins when they say "go"?

I am planning on coming to the next one and would like to compete and just want to know what to be ready for. Although with a single action revolver there will be no "speed loading".

If I don't knock them all down with what's in the chamber, I don't know that I would try and reload. If you know what I mean

Drawing from a holster at the AGC is rarely permitted.

I would suggest contacting Del Cockey (president@associatedgunclubs.org) for more information as he was instrumental in getting the steel pin shoot on the schedule.

They normally start with the gun in hand and pointed toward the ground at approx. 45 degrees.

When I did it last year, the clock starts when you fire your first shot.
