We started shooting pins at our club over 25 years ago, started as a fund raiser for the club but later expanded to a 10 week league because it was just too fun to do only one day a year. We now have 2 leagues, fall and winter. We have an indoor range with 2 bays, 2 sets of 5 pins on each bay.
We shoot 4 lines of 5 pins for one score, then take the best 6 of 10 scores over 10 weeks and that's your time. The lowest time wins. We use shot timers and shoot at 25 feet. Start "Shooter ready, timer ready, gun on the table then buzzer"
We now have steel outline pins on a hinge so we don't have to pick up pins. It's also getting hard to find pins because alleys in our area are now leasing pins and they have to return them instead of dumping them. We used to get hundreds of pins a year for free and we could use them quite a while until they got too heavy with lead.
I could post a video but don't know how to do it here.
The picture below was captured from one of my faster scores (about 2.5 seconds total, it usually takes me about 1 second to get off the first shot), all pins still in the air.
