A Bowling Pin Mania A Big Hit at NMRPC

Submitted by Jr NMRPC Member, Charlotte Quick

Strike! The most recent monthly Bowling Pin Mania match at New Milford Rifle and Pistol Club in New Milford, PA went off without a hitch, with competitors flooding in for the largest match yet. The range was set up for double elimination rounds, with two people facing off in a speed match to see who would be the first to knock the pins into the pistol pit.

Firearms ranged from .22 pistols, to .22 rifles, and even a few 1911 9mm entering the mix for centerfire. Bill Quick from Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, made out like a bandit with the 1911 prize, while John Ord, President of NMRPC took the prize for the .22 pistol. This was not surprising as he is the main steel coach of the local SASP team. In the rifle division, Austeyn Warner took home the first place prize for fastest .22 Rifle.

The club would like to thank Shannon Mess for staffing the kitchen, Tiffany Kirchem for helping with registration, and Allison Quick, Theresa White and Justine Ord for creating and setting up the Santa’s Christmas Craft Workshop that was also held at the event.

If you missed it, don’t worry! The competition is now a monthly event and occurs every third Saturday of the month. There is also an option to come to the monthly Third Sunday shoot, which includes Metal Madness (MMSSA) and trap, weather permitting. Both events are open to members and non-members of the club. And if you are want to join, come to the meetings every second Thursday of the month, to see what the meetings and community are like! I promise, you will not regret it, and you may find a new passion!
