By Patrick Meitin: Whether sighting in, honing shooting skills, or developing accurate reloads, paper targets are a big part of life.
This, of course, involves a backing surface and some way of securing targets for shooting. Typical anchoring includes staple guns or thumbtacks in wood-backed target stands, or tape. On any given month I fire 450 to 500 rounds while testing firearms and conducting load development, so I have tried them all. I’ve also been frustrated by them all, from forgetting staples to the need to pry thumbtacks from targets with a pocketknife, to the frustration of finding the end of the tape on a roll and damage to targets I need for photography.
Recently, zeroing a brace of newly-arrived rifles and scopes, I discovered an easier way. New TargetTacks offer an affordable, simple, super-secure, and infinitely reusable option for securing paper or vinyl targets to target stands. I tossed a cardboard box destined for the burn pile in the pickup bed and used 1.0-inch TargetTacks to quickly and securely pin the four corners of my five-spot targets onto the cardboard face. Even with a tree-rustling breeze, TargetTacks held the paper securely in place. After wallowing the anchoring holes after changing targets several times, giving the three-edged/serrated TargetTack® a quarter-turn twist retightened their hold on targets.
I now envision a more practical target system: cobbling together a self-standing frame of furring strips and stapling a face of cardboard or corrugated vinyl (old political or real estate signs work great) onto the frame. This could be easily moved, with TargetTacks offering an efficient option for changing targets quickly. I could also see pre-drilling my usual plywood backer to accept TargetTacks and provide consistent target placement important while using a chronograph.
TargetTacks are also offered in longer 3.0-inch models for use while utilizing standard foam, bag, or hay bale bow/crossbow targets, and in a Variety 8 Pack containing four each of the 1.0- and 3.0-inch TargetTacks. Wholesale partners can purchase TargetTacks in individual packs, bundle packs, or in bulk for use on commercial gun or archery ranges. TargetTacks are sold in orange but other colors can be custom ordered by clubs or pro shops.
Recyclable polymer-material TargetTacks eliminate target-range trash and potential ricochets off metal pins while proving fast and easy to use, and then store after use. The TargetTack® system does not require great strength to deploy, the ergonomic design making them simple to use with no need for intense prying. Quick left-right turns allow them to slip through even woven polymer faces. The eyelet head can be used to hang reactive targets or balloons to make shooting fun, or hold surveying tape to read the wind. Bullet or arrow impact will not dislodge targets while assembling groups.
The Story Behind Story Behind TargetTack®
“As avid target shooting enthusiasts, we set out to solve nuisances associated with adhering paper-based targets to different substrates across firearms, air-guns and archery industries. We wanted to minimize needing to buy, carry and clean-up extra equipment and materials used in retaining these targets. Hence, developing our patent pending target retaining device called TargetTack® to solve these nuisances. TargetTack® makes target retention easier, reusable, more efficient and enables a lower total cost of ownership for adhering paper-based targets for use with firearms, air-guns and archery trajectories.”
