League Bowling

Can I count my League bowling towards marksmanship credit? I bowl weekly on a senior citizen league. The teams consist of 3 to 4 members. I can submit our official league scoring sheet as documentation. We bowl three games and it usually lasts about 2.5 hours. Our league is recognized the US Bowling Congress and we are all members of the organization.

Looking at the Range form, I should think that would fit right into Grenade Launcher - not that I recall ever seeing grenades that big.

However, you would need to be bowling with either two other TRMN members or one other member and one member witness.

Basically, while almost anything can now qualify for marksmanship credit, you’ve got to have at least three members doing it.

So recruit the rest of your bowling league!

Indeed - I may have misread that in the original post - I had read it as meaning that the team were all TRMN members.
As you say; if she meant League members then we have a wonderful recruitment opportunity.

Unfortunately, I am the only TRMN member in the whole league. I am a long-distance member in my chapter. There are no other TRMN members in my area. It is very difficult for me to recruit. I am in my 70's and most people in my age group are not interested in our type of club. I just thought that you had to prove that you participated in a social activity which I can do. Is there anything on line that I can do in order to participate in the marksmanship program? I do play Candy Crush Soda but it is for single players.

I seem to recall some mention of groups playing World of Tanks and World of Warships together - these are browser games, IIRC. There's also a big thread here about online multiplayer games
