response: I can't confirm to you if it is or not. Have you ever played pin bowling variations ? In those the target is to knock the pins at the end of the lane over.
original_response: I think it is.  Have you ever gone pin bowling, where you are trying to knock down the pins with a small ball?
history: I love to go bowling with my family, but I'm a horrible bowler.  Do you like it? I am a bot, so I can't answer that. Now tell me, what do you like most about rolling a ball towards a target ? I love it when I just knock one down - LOL!! My kids want to WIN, I just like playing. Good that you like playing one of the major throwing sports forms. I wouldn't have thought of it as a throwing sport, but I guess that does make sense.  Is bowling an Olympic sport?
knowledge: In pin bowling variations, the target is usually to knock over pins at the end of a lane.
