What led you to creating this match format that has gone viral? Have any sanctioning bodies expressed any interest in its adoption? Kudos to you and all that help with match prep and its operation… it has become a classic in very short time!
The actual idea was created by Jeff Stover and Harley Baker 10+ years ago. Their idea was to see what the most accurate cartridge in Benchrest was. I came up with the format of group and score on my own and the distance to appeal to all shooting disciplines. The PPC(group) and 30BR(score) cartridges are running out of gas past 300 meters and that’s where the higher BC bullets and other cartridges start to dominate. My idea was to use 300 meters as it is a longer distance than normal and the long range guns can also shine and shoot well at that distance.( 6 BRAI has won 33% of the previous tack drivers and always have a gun or three in the top 5) This match has taken off globally for various reasons as it can be won by any shooter from any organization with any caliber from a 30 to a 22. This match to me is a family reunion of shooters no matter what banner you shoot under or what discipline you normally shoot! EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
You need longer computer screens for me to find myself! Lol. As Roy said Saturday night, "so what the f#@! were you trying to hit" !
Speedy, Thanks for taking the time to bring the rest of us along to see the Tack Driver.
My pleasure! I want everyone to enjoy the fellowship we all experienced there!
