Tom Freeman Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 My club is running a little low on brown tape. So I went to Target Barns site and it looks like they dont sell rolls of tape anymore, only pasters. The last time I ventured away from Target Barn I ended up with really dark brown and not very sticky, tape. Does anyone have any suggestions for a source of good quality tape?

I have the Shooters Connection brown tape. It's pretty dang close in color to cardboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Freeman Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Thanks guys. I will order a bunch from SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Well, I love me some SC, but my last batch of tape from them is tearing instead of neatly peeling off in strips. Quite a PITA and pretty worthless. I've not tried every single roll, but the one in my range bag was useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaylanGivens Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Curious why you guys use tape instead of pasters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziebart Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 For matches I prefer tape so there isn't trash blowing around the range. Seems people can't find a trash can for the paster backing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zincwarrior Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Also just common masking tape works, but I prefer pasters myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In central Texas the air is on fire 9 months out of the year, so that is the least of our problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Pasters are better for matches. Tape is better for practice. Until you get a paster gun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you get a paster gun... this, I run a 80-120 shooter match and while pasters cost more than tape they have actually sped up the match and saved money. targets repaired with tape become almost un-scorable very quickly but targets repaired with pasters last much longer, we regularly have most/all of the open targets last the whole match without needing replaced, with tape they were changed at least once sometimes twice. also we have cold weather much of the year and tape never seemed to stick well if it was below 45deg out and if raining it was worse, (thank you DAA for waterproof targets and pasters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
