In ten pin bowling, there are four pins on the back row.
4 hence 'ten pins' 4 at the back, then 3, then 2, then 1 at the front.
There are 4 pins in the back row, 7,8,9 and 10.
After being knocked down, bowling pins are reset by a machine called a pinsetter. The pinsetter collects the fallen pins, places them back in their original positions, and prepares the lane for the next frame.
then 3 in next row 2 in the next and 1 in frontEdit: assuming you are referring to the 10-pin bowling, there are four in the back row, not five, as was previously answered by someone else.Considering the 5 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 11, it is fairly clear that the pins are not set up in that war.
Four out of ten or 2/5 (two-fifths).
This is called the sweep or the rake, because it drops down and "sweeps" or "rakes" the pins back into the pit.
Where the pins are placed is called "the deck". The area where they fall back into is called "the pit".
There are four pins along the back of the ten pin setup. In front of those four is a row of three, followed by two, then one (which is called the "head" pin). 4+3+2+1=10.
A Bowling lane is 60 feet long from foul line to the center of the headpin, and 62 feet 10 inches from the foul line to the back of the pins. It can range from 41-42 inches wide.
I think you may be referring to cherry-picking.In bowling it is when you have two pins close together, with one in front of the other, and you take the first one out by deflecting in front of the back pin and missing it.To knock over a pin in bowling that has previously been missed. (see link below)
