What size tack are we talking about and is this 100 yards off hand or bench or other position. Try using thumb tacks on wood backstop at 25 yards first. There is something in a book about Kit Carson and Fremont's Delaware scouts shooting and hitting Mexican pesos at 15 paces until they were all gone. Extrapolating the pace of a 5 foot 4 or 5 foot 6 man like Carson the distance would be 100 yards. I challenged others to repeat this feat and when you do kit one you have bragging rights and keep the mutilated coin. Carpet tacks at 100 yards would be a challenge with a scoped modern rifle at 100 yards offhand. for that matter, maybe pesos too.
