Fowling (sport)

Fowling (/ˈfoʊlɪŋ/) is a hybrid game that combines the equipment of American football and bowling into one sport with a similar layout as horseshoes and cornhole. Most commonly played as a pastime in a tailgate or campground setting across the United States, Fowling was founded in 2001 by Chris Hutt. According to an interview with Hutt, the sport originated at an Indianapolis 500 parking lot when a discarded football accidentally knocked over bowling pins and inspired the idea of throwing footballs at the pins as a competitive game.

The object of Fowling is for teams to be the first to knock down all opponent's pins by throwing a full-size regulation football at 10 bowling pins positioned in a traditional bowling layout.
