bowling pins

Strike them down

Bowling pins are the tall, narrow targets arranged at the end of a bowling lane, designed to be knocked down by a rolling ball.

The standard setup uses ten pins in a triangular formation, though some variants like duckpin or candlepin bowling use smaller or differently shaped pins.
