.22 pin league - Week 1

I finally got my Buckmark set up with my C-more dot. Although I hadn't sighted it in yet, I decided to try the pin league anyway - probably a bad move, but peer pressure from my work buddies convinced me to go. The league works like this- a 2-tiered steel table supports 5 bowling pin tops 21 feet away from the shooter. Shooters have 15 seconds to shoot all 5 tops off of the table as fast as possible. This process is repeated 6 ttimes, with the fastest 5 being recorded. The sum of these 5 times is the score. Simple, right?


It was pretty obvious at the outset that not zeroing the optic was an exceedingly bad idea. I was about 4" low on everything, and timed out on the first 3 tables. I managed to record a couple scores on the later tables, but was essentially terrible. Amazingly, I ended up 15th out of 30.

Having never done this type of thing before, I can't say that I'm an expert evaluator, but the guys from my office seemed to run everything pretty efficiently and professionally. I sure enjoyed it, and I heard a bunch of other people say the same thing. I will definately be back for the next one.

I will also be headed to the range to zero this thing.
