“TACK DRIVER”

[Vetmx]

Yes, driving tacks would be far more difficult with an airgun, I’ve never tried. Now with a .270 or 220 Swift, catching the corner still vaporizes the tack. I guess in reality some of my powder burners are tack vaporizers if I want to be honest. I have shot the staples out of targets with an airgun. So I do own a couple staple smashers.

I am limited to 48 yards in my back yard, I define accurate, I shoot pellet holes, I shoot once then I start shooting the hole, Funny story I have told on here , I put a white sheet paper up little egg splatter and shoot flys, I am all over the paper like a shot gun, My big PB brother comes over and looks at target and says , Your air guns cant hold a group very well, I have to explain I am shooting flys, He shuts up, LOL...

Ha ha...Fond memories for me, when my two sons were becomming competative shooters, they did a similiar thing but used dog poop on the target paper. We only counted the holes with a spec of blood on the edge to know we hit the fly.

So tack driver a 1/2 inch or less at 50 and 1 inch or under at 100 that would be my thoughts but somebody else could be more or less depends on the target as well if some one just hunts and gets a lot of small birds or game it could be a tack driver to them because it didn't miss

1/2 inch @ 50 yards = .30 cal or 1/2 inch @ 50 yards .177 is a good group

So true accuracy is subjective and we all use the term "tack driver" and "laser" a lot. I do not have any air rifles that are not "really" inherently accurate(if they weren't, they'd be gone). Every one of them out shoots my ability. I've found that my concentration wavers after 10 shots, but was able to do some long strings a few times. Below is a 60 shot string from my HFT500 at 30 yds, and no, that's not a flyer, it's the aim point. It's around 5/8" ctc, pretty good for me. So I call it super accurate. But my Challenger 2021 can do a single hole, as depicted in the two one hole groups at 15yds.
To me these are accurate, certainly, I am incapable of doing much better.

Imagine people english not a first language (and not a second or third as well but learned on the fly) like myself ...
When I read about these wording for first time/for a year or so, I thought these new tech airguns must have something to do with Starwars movies
Then I got one to try, and it was an Impact MK2 ... not really a laser @100 but if I shoot enough tins in the same spot at the end shredded that paper ring pretty badly. So that would be a tack driver?

Someone on AGN, I think, came up with a target named “Minute of Fly”. It had a whole bunch of actual size house fly’s on it. To me, that is a good description of accuracy. If you could hit it every time at 25+ yards.
