About
Have a blast shooting bowling pins! This double elimination handgun competition welcomes shooters of all levels to engage shooting in a new way that gives you a dynamic, interactive target while increasing your skills, speed, and accuracy. There's nothing quite like watching your shot knock a bowling pin to the floor! Limited to the first 24 shooters who register. Open to both revolvers and semi-auto pistols. 9mm, .38 Special, .40 cal, and 45 ACP strongly recommended (.22 and 380 is not recommended since those calibers typically don't generate enough energy to knock down a bowling pin. No 10mm or magnum calibers allowed.)
