A POCKET GUIDE TO OUR TAG SHOOTS
We came up with the TAG or Tactical Air Gun format to give it the full name, a couple of years or so ago as a variation to the more usual HFT. It was designed to get nearer to a "true" hunting scene by giving you the opportunity to decide whether to take a shot or not.
Following normal hunter rules, TAG moves on to give a more challenging course. The targets are placed in the normal, not always easy to get to positions but the kill zone is painted the same colour as the plate, sometimes black, dark green or even cammo. Reducers can be used in moderation but generally fairly close up only.
The main difference is that you opt whether to take the shot or not, just like you would in the field.
If you take the shot and get a "kill" you are rewarded for your integrity and abilty with a 1. However if you miss and get a plate or complete miss you get a -2 on your card. You can however opt not to take the shot and enter a zero on your card.
Last time we ran one we had some very interesting scores from 27 ex 30 down to -57 I think
The skill is in being honest with yourself.
