I'd rather have the 800 than the 300.  Nice bowling!

Nice bowling....a 300 would have been nice, but that pretty looking number of 813 says a lot more about how you were bowling that night.

Had a guy in my league last year shoot 300 and the follow it with a couple of 180 games....so that 800 is really impressive.

Man nice set though. I still am searching my first 800. The week before I shot my 300 I shot 280. Your time will come.

Great shooting for an old guy, or even a young one.

I think me and you were destined to never hit 300.  If I don't get a 300 this spring, I retire!

I've got 3 300s, missed another 4 or 6.But that 800 series... that is some sweet shooting..  I'm not sure if I would trade a 300 for an 800 series.. but let's put it this way.. that's my next milestone.

Good shooting.. The 300 will come.

I have 2 300 sanctioned games and no 800's. I'd much rather have the 800 series.
That is a great series btw.

Congrats on the 800!

I went 23 years of bowling without so much as sniffing a 300.  Lots of 9 in a row games and 279's.  Finally got one this year.

Congrats on the 800. Wish I could come close to that. Had a personal best 716 on Thursday. Had 9 in a row and I choked big time.
