I'm looking for info, where to buy the caps, how to center mark the bull on them, where to get the measuring/scoring device, and how to conduct the match. If you are someone who has competed, perhaps in Pennsylvania in the towns southwest of Pittsburg, your help would be much appreciated. In my part of Ohio bottle cap shooting isn't done. I'd like to learn more and possibly introduce it to my gun club. It would be fun and surely would be a novel fund raiser.

rcraig - Thanks for the info, but the bottle caps need to be noncorrugated heavy card stock with a tiny bull/aiming point stamped in the exact center. Shooter #1 fires one shot only on a cap. Next up is #2 who shoots his cap. Working down the line of about 12-15 shooters. This is repeated until each shooter fires on about 8-10 caps. This method means that each subsequent shot is from a cold bore. Each of the "caps" (so named b/c they look like old time glass milk bottle caps) is then scored with a runout dial gizmo to see how far off dead center each shot is. Each shooters total is averaged to get his final score. Really sounds like fun and a heck of a challenge.

You can design your own target sheets and include your club's logo with this software. I don't see the need to have individual caps, but if you need a rigid backer the sheets could be glued to cardboard stock. I saw a neat one that had a 20 shot string with decreasing diameter bullseyes. That would make a great contest.
