Tack Driver 6

The ability to see bullet holes comes and goes in the spotters just like in the scopes. That is where I figured out I could see the bullet holes just a bit better with my left eye than with my right.
But when I really really fuzzed up, the spotters were useless as well.

I was experiencing the coming and going while aiming @ .125 inch dot with my right eye until I had cataract surgery recently. Now I am able to stay focused with no issues on that dot and also the 1/16 inch dot on the IBS 100 yd. target.
 
If I were investing money to shoot TD6 better (I’ve spent THOUSANDS and still can’t shoot) I’d spend ALL that money trying to pay Hugh Williamson to tell me how a man on the 4th relay shot a 50 on his last score target on Saturday and a 49 on his last score target on Sunday. Apparently Mr. Williamson shoots BETTER in the mirage than without! His skills and knowledge still have me AMAZED!! I don’t know the gentleman but if I could seek his advice I’d be on it like stink on shit!!! IMG_4014.jpeg
 
I have a little different issue. About three years ago, I experienced an eruption of wet Macular degeneration in my right eye. I get an injection in the eye every 60 days to keep it under control but that has destroyed a bit of the resolution and light gathering in that eye. So under less that ideal conditions, it is a bit of a handicap although with decent conditions, I can still distinguish the "X" dots on score targets as well. I can see a bit better with the left eye but not enough to overcome the handicap that comes with shooting left handed although I did that for about 6 months after the macular degeneration occurred. But that is not fun.

Sorry to hear that Joe. I guess in those circumstances one simply has to do the best they can. Hope you do good next time @ Tack Driver.

100 % Credit goes to Wayne Campbell he is the one who taught (and is still cause I’m a slow learner ) me how to handle heavy mirage when you can’t see.
And a bit of luck always helps !
 
Mr Williamson if you’re ever in KY I’ll offer you the best home cooked meal, a personal tour of the Red River Gorge and hell I’ll even let you pet my dog if you’ll drop a few pointers my way!

Thank you for the kind words. All I try to do is give everyone an opportunity to come to an unsanctioned event where all the different disciplines can compete at a high level. Most of all it’s the good times and laughs had by everyone that makes this “family reunion” the match of the year!

Jim and I think this and the high level of competition that attend is what shooters are looking for. The TD attendance should be a huge eye opener to the sanction governed matches out there!!
 
In a way, the Tack Driver match seems a lot like "F" class started out to be. Not too many rules and a competitive venue. That is interesting to me. It is a great concept. By the way, I think the short range BR guys have the edge. They just need to be able to see! WH
