Award Pins

Post by Loc »

I was wondering what you guys do with your award pins?

I see some people putting on hat ans such.

Any other options?

I use a MidwayUSA competition range bag and I put the pins for various 10 or 15-in-a-row animals, match wins, etc in the cloth straps for the handles. I keep my grand slam pins in a padded envelope tucked away at home. I've lost enough of the animal pins that I won't risk it with my grand slam pins. I don't mind so much about the animal pins, but I'd be pretty upset if I lost one of those four grand slam pins.

I have all of mine pinned to a big letter envelope at the moment. My plan is to make a nice sized Ram out wood and cut a big hole in the center of it. Then take some fabric like needle point ladies use or the like and fit it inside the hole and place all the pins on it and hang it on the wall for display. I am still waiting for several pins I have yet to get and others I've gotten but not actually received yet for air rifle. Leaving plenty of room for all the future ones I plan on getting of course :D I just wish I could somehow get the missing 5 in a row pins I never was able to get in the short time it took me to get to AAA since they only give 10 & 15 in a rows for AAA and above.

You can make it all the way to Master in SB Hunter never having hit a 5 in a row after all. Same with HP where you can get to Master in both rifles without ever having hit 5 in a row if that's how the animals happen to add up when they fall.

I use a framed cork board, like a message center you would use for push pins. I have a little container that I throw all the backs in and then push the pin into the cork board.

The couple of 5-in-a-row pins that I do have I put on my shooting vest.

Large cork board works well, but has been upgraded to larger size few times.
