Warren Crawford, a two-handed bowler from Redding, California, rolled 243 strikes in one hour at Shasta Lanes on Veterans Day, November 11.

Crawford was chasing Adam Barta’s Guinness World Record of 191 strikes, set in 2016. If Guinness verifies Crawford’s total, he’ll have broken the record by 52 strikes.

Strikes for Heroes at Shasta Lanes

Crawford is a PBA member and runs the pro shop at Shasta Lanes. For Strikes for Heroes, supporters could make a flat donation or pledge an amount for every strike he rolled.

The money supports Our Heroes’ Dreams, which helps veterans, first responders and Gold Star families. Its founder, Army veteran Justin Bond, runs a camp for veterans in nearby Oak Run.
