Quoted:
Do bowling alleys get rid of/replace them frequently? Second and third-hand anecdotal ramblings suggest that they do, but I have never looked into the matter to verify such claims for myself. ...I think I'll tag this to see how easily you'll be able to get some in your area. |

Around here, every two months or so the local lanes purge out the old and worn out pins.
One lane sells them for $2 a pin (which is a little steep IMHO), but just down the road I can get them for $8 a case (10 pins). It a matter of timing when they get rid of them. I left my number with the mechanic, and he calls me when he's got a bunch. |

Just call your local alley, they tend to have old ones for sale.

I got one free once. It came back in the ball return, pushed along by the ball. I took it home and it sat on my shelf for several years until the day it crossed me and we had to execute it with a 44 magmum. Poor little pin didn't stand a chance.

My son came up with a bunch free. The only time I bought them was at a fun store for about a buck a piece, and I didn't want to try to score some free ones before I went shooting.

I've gotten them from the bowling alley's before. It's not that hard, it really helps if you are with a local PD, or if you know someone who works/bowls there. Name dropping helps avoid the money issues.

When we shoot our pins, my wife says it's *Pinocide*...
Man can they take abuse, being laminated hard maple and all... I got five cases from a friend several years ago and I'm currently into the last case. I shoot 'em until there is nothing left but a ragged plastic shell and sometimes the *head* is still intact. Hang them at 200 meters and get 'em swinging. |

They don't last long when you shoot them with shotgun slugs!
