Greg, not meaning to hijack this thread, but what kind of score does it take to win the milk bottle cap match ?

If you were to come shoot with us on Thursday nights and take all the quarters you'd have to shoot three cards with an average just below our Mendoza line of .500" for each card...  We have one guy that has been on fire, he shot a .418, .534 and .540 for his three cards Thursday. Most nights he's really close to that.  I've been in a slump the last few weeks and breaking the Mendoza line has been elusive.  A new build I have going is going to change that though Roll Eyes  Wink
Are you shooting caps?

Greg, no. but I know about the game from Gary Quinlan who turned Tony on to it. I’d like to shoot your match but traveling 1800:miles to do it is probably not going to happen, lol.
I have to say that it’s great that you folks are carrying on the tradition of the match. It was fascinating for me to hear Gary talk about going to the original range in Western Pa. and describing the history of the match.

My inspiration for this came from a lengthy conversation with Gary also, nearly 5 years ago.  Between that, what Tony came up with and shooting every week our processes have evolved.  We have several clubs in our area shooting this frequently and I think I just hooked a couple more this week.

I have another boring post put together just haven't got it on the forum yet.  Bear with me and maybe I'll put it on here in the next couple days.
