What do you guys use to attach targets to target boards?

Seems the range favorite are staple guns, anyone use anything less bulky?

BA has blue painters tape...i prefer a regular stapler... (red swingline of course)

How does painters tape hold up in wind? seems like a good choice I might switch to this method.

[sirsloop 1]

It should hold up just fine... paper onto cardboard right? You can just use regular masking tape/duct tape if you want some more adhesive

One of these might work to reduce bulk.

If I'm using my own backers (at Range 14 for example), I actually use aerosol spray glue: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/e ... 7/Super77/

Takes me two quick sprays, then placing the target in place without worrying about it coming loose, etc. I picked up a few cans of the super 77 from my local ACE for $9 a can or so.

lots of masking tape... I also use it to cover bullet holes.

The answer changes a lot depending on what kind of backers your range has...

 

My club has plywood backers. I use a T25 staple gun.

 

Just make sure it cannot take more than 15 staples, and you transport it locked, and separately from the staples.

I love swingline staplers... but Silver for me.. This bad boy has been with me for over 10 years, I go it at Staples when I was working there.

Chris from MDTS used this method for the recent handgun class and it worked really well.

 

I use a lot of adhesive bullseye targets (shoot-n-c, caldwell, etc.), so mostly I just stick them to the cardboard. I've recently picked up some full size silhouette targets and for those I use a staple gun - http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00968514000P

Won't cut down on the bulk, but I have a huge range bag.. so not much of an issue for me I guess.

Push pins, or a stapler

[docwalt 1]

All of the above..... also clothspins. A bag of one hundred at the dollar store, for the

amazing price of....... get this........ $1.00

[vozella 2]

I use Spray Glu. It's great but don't get it on you or it will ruin your day.

If the range allows it, Ill take a bunch of tin cans , punch a hole in them and tie them to a length of wood with twine.....makes a nice cheap swinging target plus you can hear when its a hit.
