FYI Guy’s, I was shooting with my boy June 10th and got to do some practice pin shooting. It was a lot of fun even though I won’t be there for the real pin shoot.
They are also having a shoot for a few turkeys and a ham. The best time for 3 different distance stations shooting stationary clay pigeons with your pistol (wheel or auto). 3 pigeons for each distance fastest time wins the meat. You can have unlimited ammo for the meat shoot or until you give up! 
You can only win 1 meat and your done.
Here’s the clip from the Hudson Rod, Gun, and Archery Club newsletter:

Just to clarify if you use a .22 they set the pins near the back edge of the plywood table. If you use a .45 or .44 Mag they put them towards the front of the table. I think .357 Mag and .40 cal are set in the middle of the table.
With a .45 ACP and 10mm they would fall totally off the table 75%-90% of the time. The .357 Mags seemed to have a harder time and they would have to take additional shots to knock the fallen pins off the table. I didn’t see anybody use a 9mm. while I was there.
Have Fun,
Ferny.
