Default driving tacks?shooting lights out?

I have to laugh when I read such silly phrases.While I have seen some people use such phrases,they don't really tell much about a gun.After all lights can be small,or they can be several feet in size.Tacks can be small,or have large heads.At close enough range, a person can hit either with almost any gun.I wonder just how many people that use these phrases have actually shot a light out,or who have ever intentionally driven tacks by shooting bullets at the.If you want to use a meaningful description,group size and range actually tell a person something about a gun.That is if you measure groups properly and count every shot.

HAHAHA

I actually use an old piece of tin that used to be a sidewall of a metal building to sight in my 22 on. You can see all the nailheads (a little smaller than a dime) and once I start shooting the heads off with my 22 I call it good.

And shooting lights out, well thats only happened a few times

We shoot at the thumbtacks holding the targets up with our .22's when we get tired of shooting the target.
