June 22, 201016 yr Author BA has blue painters tape How does painters tape hold up in wind? seems like a good choice I might switch to this method.
June 22, 201016 yr 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

June 22, 201016 yr Ken what are you doing with pinkies stapler? This one is Matt's. Notice the color.

June 22, 201016 yr 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.
June 22, 201016 yr 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.
June 22, 201016 yr 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.
June 23, 201016 yr All of the above..... also clothspins. A bag of one hundred at the dollar store, for the amazing price of....... get this........ $1.00
June 23, 201016 yr 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.
