<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I would feel very uncomfortable bowling without rails. I want to be clear I am talking about rails blind bowlers use for orientation not bumpers that keep the balls out of the gutters. There are many reasons to have a social
gathering among our chapter members. In addition to the social aspect of an activity, like bowling, is to share blindness techniques. Learning the skill of bowling as a blind person using the adaptive tools available encourage independence through the acquisition
of alternative tehcniques. There are also transferable skills that are learned through a sporting event. Bowling helps improve our straight line concept, for instance. Gutter bumpers might improve our scores but will it improve our skills? Just saying!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I was once an avid bowler with a published ABC average above 200 and regularly bowled in the mid 200s. I will likely never break 200 again but I still enjoy bowling. My last set was a few years ago and my high score was
around 150. I don’t know if a totally blind person can bowl without rails, as I have not encountered every totally blind bowler. I know this totally blind bowler will likely not attempt bowling without rails. And, if we have rails, I am willing to teach others
how to use them. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> This being said, I hope we will consider not using bumpers. If there are those who want bumpers, I hope we can have one lane with rails and no bumpers. <o:p></o:p></p>
