25 feet seems pretty standard. I’ve participated in pin matches in UT, KS, and MI, and they all used this distance.
Most regulation pins have a wood core, with soft pine being the most common. These seem to absorb the bullets pretty well. Used pins tend to develop a lot of “warts” just under the plastic casing.
We have gotten some plastic core pins, which did cause a lot of bounce-back. We figured out which those were and culled them pretty quickly.
