Tack Driver 7

[P1ZombieKiller]

Marilyn and I have a nice Air B&B reserved that looks to be about 7 miles from the Range.

Great.... Hopefully they have a great 2nd bedroom so I dont have to sleep on the couch.

Just to give everyone a heads up on where we stand as of now with the field of shooters. I have called everyone personally that has a spot and 40 people off of the waiting lists has also been called. They have until 12-14-2025 to get their registration mailed to my house, if I haven’t received it by then I will continue down the waiting list until the field of 180 is complete. I still have over 50 people on the waiting list after all the calls.

So should we send in for TD-8 now just in case ?? Just saying.....LOL

Please don’t start that! I have a bunch of planning to do to make Tack Driver 7 the match of the year and hopefully best one yet! Looking forward to working with a gun club with 30 benches and one that wants to accommodate and support the shooters.

That’s the only way we travel anymore, so much better than a Hotel.

Especially if you travel with pets. More and more of the B&B’s are becoming pet friendly because they realize a lot of family’s bring their pets with them, or they just don’t go.

Last year, I dropped the Airedale at my daughter's place. In 2026, Polly will be staying up here. I'm turning the campground management over to my son and dog-sitting comes with the job! I'll probably bring the same old pick-up camper. It's easy.
Every match I attend, every trip I take, will be in preparation for Tack Driver 7. Yesterday, I took a four-mile hike with Polly. During this, I visualized (fantacized about?) my upcoming stellar performance at TD7. It was glorious! WH

I travel to a few 600 and 1K matches every year and I'd be lost without my truck camper, staying at the gun range is a bonus and there always are few friends around to help me up the stairs after too many wobbly pops.....looking forward to TD7.

Congratulations on a Good Performance at TD6 Mark

Congratulations on a Good Performance at TD6 Mark

thanks Jim I was super happy, definitely different than 600 and 1K, being my first TD I didn't know what to expect...... I had a great time, I've learned a lot, met a lot of great SR shooters and made few new friends, you should try to make it next year looks like we will have a good showing with shooters from Manatee.

ps. I might have to start to paying attention to the wind flags and load more ammo as I ran out of my load after shooting a ton of sighters.

Ya I’m staying at Dublin Farms 5 minutes from the range

Mark, do you load at the range?

That’s right down the street from where we will be.

Looks like a really nice place and close had to drive a half hour one way to the last tack driver

Mark, do you load at the range?

I do Jackie, BUT for TD6 (my 1stTD) I preloaded 100ea BRA H4895 vials of 30.0 30.1 and 30.2 and tested my loads on Friday.....I had ZERO clue that I could've tested my different loads on sighter target.....live and learn

I noticed at the last two, more and more shooters are loading at the range.

At TackDriver 2, my first one, multitudes of people walked by where all of us Short Range guys were loading and many seemed amazed. I told them I don’t load anywhere but at the range.

I shot the entirety of TD 6 with 50 fresh cases, just cycling them through.

I told them it was standard practice in Short Range. It seems more and more are catching on.

 

[Fuj]

Jackie......Your loading setup was very simple and uncluttered. There were
quite a few that looked like they brought a complete science lab from M.I.T.
using clean portable power supplies.

With that rig of His, He could load anywhere from the beach to the Grand Canyon, in perfect comfort! He just needs to add a few more tools to His traveling collection in case a certain dummy shows up again with a Light Gun that weights 17.19 pounds
