Sure wish we still had pin shoots in PA. Anyway, my best was just under 4 secs with a .38 super open gun starting with gun on rail. I've seen Master Blasters run much faster.

As with all things, "It depends." If you were looking to win the 9-Pin at SC, and wanted to take on the 9-Pin Gods like Ned Christiansen, you'd better be able to shoot under 3.5 seconds. If you were happy just getting into the loot as an OSS at SC, anything in the low 4's would do.

At a club match, I imagine you'd be golden with anything under 5.0, unless of course your club is the one where Ned or the others shoot.

My Quickest time for 10 pins at 7 yards. From holster is 3.18 seconds. Obviously does not happen everytime. Mostly run in the 3-4 second range.

Ah, format matters. The classic 9-pin setup is this:

Gun touching rail, 30" from the ground. Front edge of table (4 ft deep) 24 feet from the rail, pins one foot from back edge. (27 ft from rail) Nine pins in a five-foot wide space.

Time from start signal to last pin hitting the ground.

Most people never had the opportunity to shoot Second Chance though.

3.5 sec is that with a dot or open sights?
