Just don't use the backer stands (those wooden bases with the pvc sleeves) to hold them. There should be a bowling pin rack, maybe in the shed, or bring your own. As I said last year, don't be shy about coming out when we start in April; it's a very friendly group, and I've seen the pins knocked down by a .22. Either way, I understand and agree it's a good idea to go out with her in a more controlled situation so she can get comfortable with it first. Enjoy the time with your daughter. Don |

Johnbear, I may not have answered the right question in my first response. The rules are: 5 pins on the rail. Load pistol on command of range officer. For a semi-auto, no more than 7 rounds in each magazine, with one reload allowed. Start with pistol at low ready. Time starts with buzzer. Time ends when last pin falls or you are out of ammo. Unload pistol (mag out, slide back, or cylinder open on revolver) and show clear, lay on bench. Once range is safe, shooters reset pins, then move to next station, which is longer distance (unless you just shot the longest distance, then you move to the shortest). There are 5 stations, or 25 pins total. Last year, the longest range was actually rubber gopher targets. Great fun. Hope I covered it for you. Don Oh, and there is usually coffee and donuts on Saturday morning. Of course. ;D |

What size if the tables. (About).. I figure they are wide enought to place 5 in a row. Is it deeo enought to fall off say 5 inches or it it wider so it the just fall over they may still be on the table. We looked in the red shed and I did not see any. Im planning on making a table here. I was thinking I could make it so i can fold it up bit if its allright I would make one and put a sign on it for pin only and leave it in the barn for others to use as well.

JB, The racks, as best as I can recall, are about 4-5 inches deep; a pin could get knocked over and stay up there, but I don't think we required that it be knocked OFF to count. As far as width, I'd say about 4 feet wide, give or take, so the 5 pins would be about 10-12" center-to-center. I haven't looked in the shed, but I can check; maybe somebody moved them to the pole barn for the winter? Don |
