cteno4 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Lol very fun. We use to do pig bowling. The lead pigs were containers to sheild radioactive materials that were cylinders 1.5" in diva and 3" long. Lead so quite hefty. We had a hall 150' long 8' wide and we would set a step of pig pins at one end of the hall and bowl a pig from the other end of the hall. Bit of a dangerous sport if you happened to walk out on the bowling green when pigs were flying! Luckily it was a very old building so the dings and other damage was never noticed! Hey what else are you going to do with s lead pig at 3am when bored?! Jeff Link to comment
