    THEY ARE RUNNING VERY LOW ON PINS !!!!
    Please swing by your local alley and NICELY ask if they have any used pins they would be willing to part with.
    The smaller the alley the better as I have found they are more likely to have them. Feel free to try the large bowling centers too as they sometimes have them.
    This is critical in order to keep the pin shoots going and at the price. I got them 150 or so pins at the start and my source is dried up till August.
    Thanks to all who can scrounge up some pins !!!

    I got a bunch free from that bowling alley on 16th Street mask a few years ago. Just called and asked.

    This is about bringing people into the sport and having fun. Hard to bring someone new in and then have them get eliminated from the get-go because they suck at the draw from their Uncle Mike's holster. No draw, no reload from belt also means no additional equipment to buy. My understanding is that they will have a Wednesday night pin shoot including draw from the holster for the more competition minded.

    I will be in for next Monday's shoots. Looking forward to it. Might try to shoot each one with a different pistol just to try things out. I've tried to come up with a way to describe myself other than 'generic white man #4'. The best that I can come up with is that I am polite and I carry my guns in a toolbox or bag. Please say 'hey' if you see me there.

    They are having advanced pin shooting starting next week I think. It will be a separate night. Optics shoot in a different class. All draw from holster and shoot 5 pins. Must be holster certified by bristlecone.
    Remember, bring pins if you can find some. I'm bringing them another 20 today.

    Will be there tonight. I will be the guy in red gloves shooting either a 10mm 1911 or a .45 USP. Assuming I can get out of the door in the next 20 minutes, that is...

    Ok... dudes.... we need to at least -try- to introduce ourselves. I think next time I'm there I'm just calling out before the match- "Anyone here from COAR?". I won't be there for the next few weeks though.
