Yes Gentle Shooters, We have returned to that time of year again where bowling pins fall prostrate at the hands of our marksmen. Your match directors have spent the last week together preparing for this match. Ok, well there was the matter of picking up a new Corvette, shooting sporting clays, some bourbon, and of course the evasion of traffic enforcement, not in any particular order mind you. But we did talk about the match. Well, it was more like we thought about it. Had we actually discussed it, we would have told you to be there by 9:30 on Saturday, April 6th at the Airfield Range in beautiful midtown Wakefield. We would have advised that while the rules have not changed and the range has not moved, you can find all of that super pertinent information at www.airfieldshootingclub.org. We also maintain an adjunct assistant chief pinhead to answer specific questions at [email protected].

Another year of Bowling Pin Shooting has drawn to a close. You now have all winter to ponder the scores posted below. Practice for the 2019 Bowling Pin Season begins NOW.

Greetings Gentle Shooters. I have spent the last few minutes struggling for an appropriate excuse for the extraordinary and inexcusable delay in posting these results. I gave a lot of credit to the hurricane, a mythical dog I don’t own that ate the results, etc and nothing felt right. Let’s just say I have done a crummy job. Heck, I will volunteer to have my match director pay cut in half. I have promised before not to let this happen again, so I won’t bother with that. I am going with please forgive me. With that said, here are our results. Next match is Saturday, October 6th at 9:30 in Wakefield.

Once again, we had a nice crowd come out for the August Match. Despite concerns earlier in the week about rain, it started off warm and quickly became oppressive, as August is wont to do. Regardless, our shooters pressed on through the heat of the day to turn in some impressive scores. A grudge match was also settled with Frank Sanders and his big 10MM cannon overwhelming Art Schoner in major with lunch on the line. These and the rest of the scores are listed below. We will see you over the Labor Day weekend for our next match.
