I was wondering if there were many bowlers out there who have shot the 8 without getting a 3. I've had many 279 in my life, but have never gotten the 3, but my high series keeps creeping up, to the point I think I'll crack 8 first. Is this normal? My high series is now a 788 at it would have been an 8 if I didn't blow a 4 pin and a baby split that night.

Most 800's around here dont include a 800. Remember all you need to break a 800 is a 266 266 266 = 800. No 300 needed.

Damn, people have bowled an 800 with no 800, wow! And I believe 3 266's make a 798. Not quite an 800. Haha, anyways, my first eight was in November, and it was an 811, dont remember the scores, but no 300. IMHO, I think it is harder to get an 800 with a 300 in it.

My very first 800 was 807 - no 200 - 266-264-277 ... Don't remember the order of the games, but those were the games.
My second, and only sanctioned one, was 280-289-242 - 811.

I've only had one 300 - it was banked by 247-300-235 for 782.

Only two of the 5 800's had a 300.
Best one didn't - 276-277-288 841. Only game remotely close to a 300 was the last one. I think I left a 2-5 on the 10th ball, but I'm not sure. It was way back in the Black Hammer urethane days.

My first 800 was 222-300-279 23 strikes in a row. 4 frames from perfection !!!
2nd 800 was 289(8pin)-299(10pin)-247. 4 frames from perfection !!!

Have fun !!
Revised !

The original post is vague. It states shooting an 8 without getting a 300. It doesn't clearly state shooting an 8 BEFORE the 300. I am sure that with this many posts of people chiming in the number of 800s without a 3, they think the same thing. If this is the case, my highest of 15 800s (843), came without the benefit of a 300. I remember 296-278-269=843. What is a bummer for me, is that I have also had 3 800s where I had 2 300s in that same set. Transition gets me from the elusive 900 (not that it is an easy task).
