A Brief Guide to the Sport of Pinshooting


A BRIEF GUIDE TO THE SPORT OF PINSHOOTING

Bowling pin shoots have their origin in a early 1970's demonstration by Richard Davis (Founder and President of Second Chance Body Armor, Inc.). Davis demonstrated that if someone shot you while wearing one of his vests, you not only survived the shot but were fully able to return fire. The shock of being shot while wearing body armor was bearable. His video showed Davis shooting himself in the chest while wearing body armor then quickly turning and shooting three bowling pins off a piece of plywood.

I wonder what three aimed shots at the same area would do?

Wondered that myself; or, what would fully dumping the mag do?
The video clip is a string of repeating the same three shots hitting the glass.

You won't have time to put more than a couple well aimed shots, the driver will be at about 60mph by then (if he's worth his money).

According to show on History chanel, some manufacturer of bullet proof 3 pc suits in South America requires all his employees to be shot, wearing the product they produce.
