Pahrump Bowler Sees '300' Four Times In One Month

Jim Reynolds is on a roll.

Call it skill or call it luck - Jim Reynolds may be having one of the best bowling streaks of his life. 

At 73, he's been bowling for about the past 55 years, and he's at the top of his game. On Dec. 8, he bowled two 300 games in one day, then again on Dec. 21, and again to kick off the New Year on Jan. 5. 

According to the Pahrump Valley Times, Reynolds attributes much of his success to his new bowling ball - a Christmas present from his wife and son. 

It's a good thing Reynolds' wife is also a bowler - as he plays in five different leagues, and you can find them at the bowling alley inside the nugget almost any day of the week. 

Reynolds shares with KNPR some of his secret, and says it helps not to get nervous.
