French Pin Shooting - Followup

In the previous post I mentioned some gun bloggers and Bowling Pin Shooting in France. In the comments Rivrdog wondered if they were using American style pins, or a smaller style found in Europe. I went back through their archives to find out, as they looked like the same pins were are used to shooting.

Here's their pin table.

I found the answer, and here's the picture from their site. If you enlarge the picture you can clearly read "WIBC/ABC Approved" and "Made in USA". I didn't know that ten pin bowling was popular, or even exists, in Europe, except perhaps on a US military base.

Yep, that's the same exact kind of pin that leaves us mumbling to ourselves in frustration!

If any of you are going to be over in France in the Normandie area, you should go meet these guys.

Who knows, maybe they'll win a bunch of money in their lottery and they'll come over here, shoot some pins with us, then go to next year's Gun Blogger Rendezvous in Reno!

Wouldn't THAT be fun!
