Labor Day Bowling Pin Match Results
Gentle Shooters, We had another nice turnout at our Bowling Pin Match this weekend. Seventeen shooters braved a group of dastardly targets, highlighted by pins wearing what must have been green body armor. That is my story for my scores and I sticking to it. There was a lot of humidity and it appeared to rust up more than one trigger finger. Our toasty, hot weather scores are posted below for your viewing pleasure. Our next match is October 1st.
