Anyone know where I might find 100- 200 wooden bowling pins?
Things are starting to gear up for the 2011 Fun Gun Shoot and I am looking for some wooden bowling pins to use in our Bowling Pin Shoot. I thought one of you guys might have a lead on some. As always we are looking for junked cars to " Dismantle " as well.
The dates and this year’s info for the event should be released soon.
Matt
making afew calls, I'll see what I can do

Thanks man I appreciate it.
BTT
I'll keep my eyes open.
1. you won't need anywhere near 100-200 pins. You can use the same ones over and over numerous times.
2. your best bet is to contact as many bowling centers as possible; if they are replacing the pins they might be willing to donate a set. Get a few centers to do that, and soon you have 25-50 pins...more than enough.
Oh, they make excellent firewood also. :)
waiting on a call back

Actually, attended and participated in many. ...but you are right, not this one....my mind is busy with exciting visuals if you need 200 pins....
It usually takes 75-100 to get threw 1 days event.
Just a thought: Do you think the head of a pin would fit into the mortar?

You need to get out this way more often. The last shoot I went to had multiple cars, lots of high explosives (real not tannerite), and field artillery. I can see bowling pins not having a very long life.
