Mas Ayoob just put out a great video on The Pin Shoot. His feelings on the camaraderie, friendship, and fun found at this event closely mirror our own, and that's what inspired the Bowling Pin Blitz.

.50 GI seems to have a small bit dedicated following in the pin shooting community. Have you ever shot one? If so, what are your thoughts?

Did you know that the pin table depth is what determines what caliber of gun is needed for a pin match? While there isn't a central governing body, the standard table depth has been 48" for decades and requires ammo that far exceeds modern "major" power factor in any other pistol sports. The recommended power factor for tables of this design is from 190 to 205 using heavy, flat nose bullets. Because of this, calibers like 10mm Auto, .45 ACP, and .50 GI are the top choices at such events.

For Bowling Pin Blitz events, we recommend a 24" deep table. We have found that this allows for a range of modern defensive 9mm ammo to be used effectively, making our events accessible to both new and experienced shooters alike.

Did you know that bowling pin shooting started more than 50 years ago in Central Lake, Michigan? The Pin Shoot traces its roots to that first match and we are proud to help continue that legacy. Visit pinshoot.com for more information.
