Ned and I are waiting for the match results, but even if the times don't reward us, we had fun.
For those who haven't done it, pins are a blast. You will, however, have to do three things:
Pins need power. Load your ammo to a 195 PF, or a bit more. I was there with a 208 PF, and my marginal hits barely weaseled the pins off the tables.
Pins need solid hits. You want to practice the mantra and drill, "one shot, one hit". A solid hit on a pin takes it off, a "C" hit doesn't.
Load lots of ammo. The main attraction of a pin shoot is the opportunity to shoot lots of ammo. At Second Chance we would show up with thousands of rounds of handgun, rifle and shotgun ammo, and shoot most of it. Even at a smaller shoot like Berrien Springs you can easily consume hundreds of rounds.
The ICORE (revolver) match was a blast. I used to shoot PPC (and even did it for several years with a 1911!) so slowing down and shooting 10's and X's is easy.
