Martinsville Sportsman's Conservation Club

SCHEDULE:

Bowling pin matches are held at Pistol Range #1 on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm (approx.) from April - November (April and November matches are held only if weather permits.) See calendar for current schedule.

OBJECTIVE: 

In the Bowling Pin Matches, participants are paired with another shooter by random draw and compete on an elimination basis. The object of the Bowling Pin Shoot is for shooter to be the first of his pairing to CLEAR his table of 5 bowling pins placed 25 feet from the firing line, so speed and accuracy are both factors. Knockdowns do NOT count; pin must completely clear the table.

Winners of each pairing then compete against one another until there is one final winner of that round. Each of the three classes will typically have 3-5 rounds, depending on number of shooters. All participants must wear eye & ear protection.

ORDER OF EVENTS: 

Rounds for the 3 different pistol classes take place in the following order:

1st:  Rimfire Semi-Auto Pistol Class (.22 caliber)

• Shooter loads pistol magazines with 10 rounds regardless of mag's max capacity, but shooter may have as many loaded 10-round mags as desired and swap in additional mags as needed.

2nd: Centerfire Semi-Auto Pistol Class (any caliber)

• Shooter loads pistol magazines with 8 rounds ONLY, regardless of mag's max capacity, but shooter may have as many loaded 8-round mags as desired and swap in additional mags as needed.

3rd:  Revolver/Wheelgun (any caliber)

• Shooter loads pistol cylinder to capacity and may reload with speed loaders or by hand as many times as desired.

Rounds of the three pistol classes are then repeated in order as interest demands.

Shooters may participate in one, two or all three classes as firearms, ammo and funds permit.

For ALL classes, each round of competition will cost $2.00 per shooter. Winner of the round and the club split the proceeds 50/50 with club share paying for consummables like pins & tables. 

Come on out and give it a try!
