"Tack" Driving Range Game

So you think you have a "tack driver" do ya, well lets tee them up and get the party started. I want to see new targets submitted.

First a few rules...

1. Open to any rifle that meets SuperSport guidelines.
2. Targets will be shot at either 25 or 50 yards. Each having their own club. (See below for 100 yard rules)
3. One shot at each of the 25 "tacks" above the sighters. Sighters (only the three in the box) can be shot at and can be shot multiple times.
4. 20 "tacks" driven makes the "tack" drivers club with each additional "tack" adding to your score up to 25.
5. Inner circle must be broken with the bullet. Smudge mark inside circle will count or use of a scoring gauge.
6. Once you reached 25 you will have a heavy hitter "tack" driver and are finished with that build.
7. Any ammo, and scope.
8. Must post picture of target, and gun to be added.
9. You may use a USBR scoring gauge, smudge marks inside will also count. Last resort stick a round in the hole and use it like a USBR gauge.
10. No machine rests, or return to battery rests.

The 100 yard game is a little different. Same rules as above apply except there are 20 1" tacks on the target. 15 tacks driven makes the 100 yard "tack" driver club. For every tack over 15 it will add to your score up to 20. You will then have a heavy hitter tack driver and done with that build. When you make the 100 yard club you have a "long driver".

Couple of things before you print.

1 Make sure to click on actual size in adobe which sets print scale at 100%. This is located right below the create pdf tab in between the - and + sign. Click on the down arrow beside the percentage value.

2 After you go to print target in adobe and your printer page comes up make sure that page scaling is set to none and it is showing the document and paper size to be the same or 1/1 where the preview is shown.

3 If you printed the target correctly the "Tacks" should be .375" for 25 yrd tack, .5" for 50 yrd tack, and 1" 100 yrd tack outside diameter. The sizes might be off a little from the ink.

You can shoot for fun, or try to outshoot your buddy.

I think that's everything good luck and most importantly have fun everyone!

You ain't kidding Vincent! Everyone of those seem to drop low. I remember You calling them the six o'clock fliers. I plan to step up the ammo to.
Check the four group average difference if I just took out ONE SK Flier:


If you look close there was at least one more just not as bad. That target just about made me cry!!:D:bthumb:

Old Brown Shoe came thru.
I took another try today.
The leveling, and lining up the tacks helped. Thanks 17 G.
I'm right handed, but shoot left. I'm blind in my right eye.
When paying attention to lining up the tacks. I caught myself, slightly canting the gun to the left, 6 times, on the next shot.

I had to look close at number 6, but it made it.

Shot with SK Rifle Match.

That's a really good target. :bthumb: no need to show the bullet I trust you. It's the honor system with this game. You should see the looks I get when I break out the level at the range and level targets on the boards.
Very nice shootin' Hawkeye!
I tried this while tuning my new kidd barrel yesterday. Should have slowed down or maybe the infamous 6 o'clock sk flyer huh Vincent. This was 4 year old ammo. Lol

Some thing I discovered when printing these is to use card stock or cheap photo paper.
it makes the edges of the holes sharper.

i found that printing these on card stock or old photo grade paper makes the holes sharper on the edges and then easier to score. Fred K.

LOL! All I saw was June 10 with my blinders on and thought I was running a little late.
My best is 22/25, only tried it twice so far...first time was a 21/25 using an Anschutz 1416AV and an Anschutz 1712AV the second time. My son in law got a 25/25 with the 1416AV and a 22/25 with the 1712AV.

I think this might be better than using a bullet to check "tacks driven", at least with the magnification my old eyes can make it out better.
