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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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

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.

That would be a better choice than the 12 gauge.
