Total newbie question here. I've been browsing through threads/ads etc. here and there for a while. Once in a while I see the term "tac driver." From context I get what it means (accurate, it would seem) but I would like to know what the term actually means ... where it came from etc.

Cheers,
Dave
 
Maybe I'll get laughed at, but I always presumed the term "tack driver" meant accurate enough to shoot out the "tacks" holding your targets, always knew it was relevant to great accuracy and this was my take on it.
 
"tack driver", yep. "tac driver" means the poster can't spell. Thumb tacks being little wee things, if your rifle(and you) can do it, you have an exceptionally accurate rifle.
 
I just found out why my Dad refers to Enfield 303's as "winchin poles"....you drive them into the mud, wrap your trucks winch around them and wnich yourself out!

I always thought tack driver meant you could use to drive the tacks holding your target too....I admit to trying it nearly every time I'm out. Way easier to blast them out then get the head rammed under your fingernail removing the target right?
 
I've done that at the range a few times, take down the target from 100y. Don't worry, you won't see it in any ad selling my rifle, by the time I'm done shooting it, it probably won't be able to that anymore :)
 
Thanks for the answers. The last bit of missing info was that you hold up target papers with tacks. I've never been to a range or tacked up targets ... but now it makes perfect sense.

Cheers,
Dave
