Tack driver challenge
 
A chance to show off your tack driver. The idea is to strike three tacks with only three shots @ 100m. The strike does not need to be dead center on the tack, just that it cuts the head. Before and after pics on a single target panel.
Three shots only per target panel.
A strategy for shooters with lower power scopes would be to place tack dead center in a larger target circle.
Here is an example of a "before" target panel.
Any takers?

Of course...100 yds is good. Lots of Ranges are set up in yards, not meters. The Challenge is to get out and shoot and have some fun.
Post pics of both successful targets and the rifle.

Trooper23 04-29-2015 09:45 PM

Challenge accepted!
 
I will post pictures next couple weeks doing this with tacks with my CZ455 Thumbhole Varmint .17 HMR or my name isn't..".........uh, Annie Oakley?

When we get done seeding and I pick up my Sightron, I will attempt this with my 1727F.

Nate_K1500 04-30-2015 01:34 AM

Any caliber at 100m/yds. But, Rimfire shooters need a realistic CHALLENGE as well, so they can just move the target distance to 50m/yds. If any of this seems to easy, just add a couple of tacks:)
May the wind be your friend.

Try something other than 30 cal. Something in 22 cal makes this challenge a fair bit tougher.

brobinson 04-30-2015 11:44 AM

Still need a very accurate 30cal to hit 3 tacks in a row.

bubba300 04-30-2015 02:46 PM

Tried it this afternoon with the 204,tried 3 different times,9 shots and only 1 hit ,I will giver a go when this wind dies down.It was fun thow.

Yes, it means you will need to be 0.084 tighter ... That disadvantage is likely mitigated to some extent by less recoil.
Big run on thumbtacks at the Dollarama in South Edmonton Common. When will it end, shortages in bullets, powder, and now thumbtacks.
Good on you for braving the wind today bubba ...

Broken stocks piled up like cord wood!

I sure hope you didn't use a lead sled . You know what will happen.LOL

twofifty 04-30-2015 06:09 PM

Is it unfair advantage to use a POS Axis?

Nate_K1500 04-30-2015 06:11 PM

Somewhere in my house i have a unopened box of thumbtacks and of course they are nowhere to be seen. I am now planning on using drywall nails as they have the same outside diameter of the tacks.

This sounds fun, I'm in with Ruger mini 14... Hopefully pics on Sunday :sHa_shakeshout:

Some of those cz and savage .17hmr's can drop pills one on top of another out to 200 yards. The savage 93r17 I was foolish enough to sell would qualify as one of these. But yeah the wind is no friend of the wee 17

I might have to try this with my new ruger gsr if I ever get a chance to break it in.

I'm going at it with my 375 H&H:sHa_shakeshout:

cfnewfie 04-30-2015 08:08 PM

I'll try both on Saturday, weatherby sub moa 308 and mark 2 fvsr

The "before" pic matching the first pic below is at the beginning of the thread.
These tacks were driven this morning from 100M

Reminds me of the 'crack open easter' shoot a couple buddies and I did a couple years ago. To celebrate Easter we shot mini eggs at 1,2 and 300 yards. Least eggs shot had I buy the beers. Count me it when I find time.

gtr 05-01-2015 01:17 PM

Should be fun
