Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pastaster gun and why is it useful for shooters?

A pastaster gun is a tool, similar to a pricing gun, that quickly dispenses and sticks target pasters. It's highly useful for frequent shooters as it significantly speeds up the process of restoring targets after shooting, saving time and effort at the range.

How do you load pasters into a pastaster gun?

To load a pastaster gun, you open a bottom gate, insert a roll of pasters, feed them through the top and front of the gun, and then secure the mechanism. Specific steps involve releasing a latch, placing the roll, and ensuring the pasters are correctly aligned before closing.

What is the most common mistake when using a pastaster gun, and how can it be avoided?

The most common mistake is tearing off used pasters too short, which can cause the gun to bind or jam. To avoid this, always leave a small tail, about a quarter-inch, on the paster when you tear it off.

How can I ensure my pastaster gun lasts a long time?

To ensure your pastaster gun lasts a long time, keep it clean and free from dirt, sand, and gravel. Avoid placing it directly on the ground in dusty or sandy environments; instead, use a table or target stand, or place it with its backer on the ground.
