couldn't you just shoot cans or something? :lol:

Seriously, though. What IS pin shooting? I don't know that term.

There are different versions, but these links describe the basics:

Tons of fun and very satisfying.

I realize that the original post is nearly a month old, however I thought I might be able to help. "The Indoor Shooting Company" has pin shoots at their range. They are located at 9402 E Fowler Ave Thonotosassa, FL 33592 (813 986-5456) right off I-75 next to the flea market.

That sounds like fun...Too bad Orlando has NIL for fun shooting.

Check out East Orange Gun Range on Forsythe Rd. They have pin shooting and other competitions, pretty popular.
