I\u2019d be remiss if I didn\u2019t remind you that what I consider the coolest of all shooting matches is coming up in June. Whether your choice is pistol or revolver, shotgun or carbine, there\u2019s an even for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Pin Shoot \u2013 formerly known as the Second Chance Shoot \u2013 became an icon among gun folks back in the Seventies. One scene of the book \u201cUnintended Consequences\u201d was even set there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I always describe it (always, because I can\u2019t think of a better description) as a carnival midway where all the games are live fire shooting, and you can win guns instead of kewpie dolls or stuffed animals if you shoot well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are bleachers for the audience. It\u2019s a visual game: the targets are full size bowling pins, and watching them fly and being able to see in real time who is beating who on the firing line is addictive fun. During breaks when the pins are reset, famed Gun Guy Richard Davis conducts Trivia Quiz with the audience, with his own unique sense of humor. Lunch is served at the range, where you\u2019ll find yourself among many like-thinking new friends, and will see a lot of faces you\u2019ll recognize from the gun magazines, TV firearms shows, and YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
