Frequently Asked Questions

What tools are needed to install TA Targets paper holders on a 20-inch round base?

You will need a 14mm open-end wrench to hold the nut on the back and an impact driver, socket, or another wrench to tighten the nut onto the bolt. Ensure the bolt is inserted from the bottom up for optimal base stability.

Why do TA Targets paper holders have a slot on the bottom?

The slot on the bottom of the paper holders is designed to provide adjustability. This allows you to compensate for slight variations in the hole orientation on different 20-inch round bases, ensuring a secure fit for various paper target styles.

How tight should I make the bolts when installing paper holders?

You should tighten the bolts until they are snug, using the 'German method' of 'good and tight.' There's no specific torque spec required; avoid over-tightening as if you were tightening a wheel on a vehicle. The goal is a secure fit without damaging the components.

Should I remove the paper holders after shooting with the 20-inch round base?

It is recommended to remove the paper holders after shooting if you want to prevent them from bending. While they can be left on, rough handling or transport of the base inside a vehicle or on the range can lead to damage over time.
