IPSC Target Paster

Boost MeYour support is what keeps these holsters and shooting accessories coming.  Appreciate it!

 For all of my Competition Shooters out there tired of fumbling with the paster rolls when taping up targets, this is a paster tool that's not $70.  

  Print it, pull the supports off of the spool holder catches.  Compress the catch slightly to load the paster roll and feed the pasters up through the nose of the tool.  The first couple, you might pull off by hand, but once you have a tail, you can pull it through against that angle as seen in the GIF.  The paster will peel off of the tape about halfway, allowing you to set it against the target and then press it into place using the rounded nose of the tool.  

 

  This takes a little bit of muscle memory and repetition to figure out, but so far this is been a drastic improvement to pasting by hand.   I like to hold it a little bit sideways so I can see the paster better, but there is a hole up through the nose where you can see it as well.  The two things to watch out for is pulling the tail too hard so it rips at the sharp angle, or pulling it too hard against the spool itself so it doesn't dispense correctly.  So there's a little bit of technique to it, but we're also out shooting fast and training hard, so learning a little technique is well within our wheelhouse I would hope.

 

  I've attached two versions, with or without a lanyard spot where you can tie a loop so it can be hooked to your belt.  For my southpaw guys out there, you might want to slip the model in the slicer so the spool is visible but that's only a preference.

 

  Thank you so much for any downloads and support.  Any comments, suggestions, requests, all of the above is welcome.  I know this tool specifically is somewhat nuanced, so if you use it some and have some suggestions, bring it on back.  I've been working on this for awhile and I haven't seen a lot of answers out there.  I hope this solves some problem, especially at this price point.  

 

  Thanks again!
