PINS
OK, everything went great at the meeting last night. I proposed the attached plan. We are going to do a run through with the ROs in January and have the first shoot in Feb or Mar. I will start a new thread a month before the shoot.

SCSC Pin League - 3rd Saturday each month
SAFETY
All SCSC Range rules apply. Keep all guns holstered or in a case or rug until at the firing line. Holstered guns must have magazines removed and hammers down. Unholster or uncase gun at the firing line only under direction and supervision of the Range Officer (R.O.). Do not handle weapons on the range at any other time. If you wish to handle your weapon then go to an adjacent range or the “safe area “ provided. Ammunition may not be handled in the “safe area”. No Exceptions. If guns are to be transferred to or from holsters and cases or rugs this must be done in a safe area or at the firing line. The Range Officer issues loading and firing commands. Both participants and spectators must wear eye and hearing protection.
RANGE COMMANDS Pin Shoots
“Shooter to the Line” shooter approaches firing line with gun in holster, case, or rug
“Load and Make Ready” shooter loads and chambers a round. Safeties may remain off if shooter chooses. Fingers may be placed on double action triggers, but must remain out of single action trigger guards. At this time the shooter may take a sight picture
“Shooter Ready?” shooter acknowledges
“Gun On the Rail” shooter places weapon muzzle on the rail
“Standby” after a delay, a tone sounds signaling the shooter to commence firing
“Show Clear” shooter presents cleared weapon to Range Officer, then Range Officer permits shooter to leave the firing line
“Range is Safe” participants reset pins
“Range is Hot” participants behind firing line, range officer ready to call for next shooter
EVENT DESCRIPTION - Bowling Pins
Six bowling pins are placed on a table twenty-five feet from the firing line and shot to the ground for time. Pins either left on the table or fallen off the front result in a 15-second scratch run. The best three out of four runs are added together for an aggregate time to determine standings. No reshoots for jams. Reshoots allowed for timer failures. Each pin match will normally consist of a Stock Event and a Shoot-Off event. Descriptions follow.
Stock Event either semi-auto or revolver. Eight round limit, one reload.
Shoot-Off Event stock or revolver, shooter’s choice. Unlimited reloads. Man-On-Man, single elimination. Winner takes all. Shooters seeded according to their aggregate times in the Stock Event from that day. Shooters participating in only the Shoot-Off Event accept last seed.
Iron-sighted weapons only. No “external” compensators allowed. External compensators are considered to be those added on to a stock barrel or machined into an extended barrel. Match Director’s decision whether guns so equipped may be shot for record is to be considered final. Match Director’s decisions may be arbitrary. Hybrid barrels or factory porting or Mag-Na-Ports permitted.
Match participants for the Stock and Revolver Events will be classified as follows:
MB (Master Blaster) those shooters with aggregate time less than 30 seconds
OSS (Ordinary Standard Shooters) those shooters with aggregate time equal to or greater than 30 seconds.
Miscellaneous
No bullet velocity less than 850fps allowed. Bounce back bullets threaten at velocities lower than 850 fps. The Range Officer may disallow any ammunition he deems unsafe.
A 195 power factor (bullet weight X velocity/1000) or greater is recommended.
Pin changes occur at the end of each round or as needed.
Participants’ shooting order reverses at the end of each round.
Match fees for SCSC members: $5
Match fees for non-members: $10
All proceeds will go to prizes and supplies.
