I checked with all of my local bowling alleys a few weeks ago and none of them had any spare pins to sell. Where do people get bowling pins to shoot at? Do you get them free or have bowling alleys wised up and charge for them now? Do they make great targets? Do you prefer hanging them or setting them up to knock down? I plan to shoot them with: .308, 7.62x39, 7.62 x 25 and 9mm. Will any of these calibers have a problem with destroying them and/or possible ricochets? Thanks for any help.
