I heard that term used in a conversation the other day. Discussion was related to cowboy action / SA revolvers...

It's a sport where you shoot at bowling pins lined up at a fixed distance. Since bowling pins are heavy, you have to smack them good with a heavy bullet to get them to fall.

+1,
Hitting them in the right place, is also critical. Hit on the upper 2/3's. Likely causes them to flop over, but still remain on the table.
Not as easy as it looks. When your shooting against the clock, and competent opponents.
Thanks again!

When I was shooting speed steel, there was a guy there with a buddy all the time practicing on pins, and they both used Ruger .44 Blackhawks. Both of them could get six rounds off on target as fast as I could with a 1911.
Maybe he was referring to Pinfire Cartridges..

That's what he was referring to! I must have mis-heard pin gun.
Thank you!
