Towa APN-30 Label Applicator

I picked up the Towa APN-30 labeler to patch bullet holes on my shooting targets, and it works flawlessly. It lays down stickers clean and smooth every time, which saves me a ton of time between drills. The build quality is solid, and it feels like a professional-grade tool; no jams or misfeeds so far. It’s actually made my range sessions more efficient since I can reuse my targets instead of swapping them out constantly. If you do a lot of shooting practice and want a clean, fast way to patch targets, this thing is worth every penny. I love it!

I bought this to save money on targets at the range, and because it sucks peeling individual stickers off to patch up targets, and can add significant wasted time to your range day. The crazy thing is, it's probably my favorite range-related item I've bought this year. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit it, but there you go. You cease fire, call the range cold, walk downrange with this thing...and bop bop bop bop bop just start squeezing that lever and pasting over holes in seconds, and your target is ready to go! It's definitely one of those ASMR "oddly satisfying" things. Prove me wrong. This is the only one I've got experience with, so I can't compare it to others, but it is tricky and unintuitive to load, and if I recall correctly it comes with effectively zero instructions. I found a video online, was able to load it up, and was off to the races. It works as advertised, hasn't broken, and has plastered over thousands of bullet holes. Plus, like I said, it is for reasons incomprehensible to me way more fun to use than it should be...

I cannot explain how much time this saves on pasting targets at USPSA matches. If you shoot frequently or go to competitions with tons of paper this thing is invaluable in saving time in resetting stages. It’s really worth it. Feels really well made, as well as easy to use. The video on the page is very helpful.

Friends/acquaintances have let me try theirs, and I've seen many get regular use, at USPSA matches. Mine works just as expected. If you're serious about shoooting training you need to be scoring, and pasting targets (and running a timer). This speeds up pasting targets so much, in training, and at matches, that I shouldn't have even waited for it to go on sale, but I'm a cheapskate and waited until it dropped to $65. However, it only gets 4 stars because there were no instructions or even a link or QR code to instructions. Despite having used one of these, I had never loaded posters (aka labels) into one, and had to find instructions. No product should require searching for instructions to able to start using it. EDIT TO ADD: I took this to a two day pistol training class, and it a LOT of use. I went through most of a 1000 count roll during the class. Early on it started to "double feed" the pasters, roughly once out of every 6 or 7 times. That is not only a waste of pasters, but also it occasionally the first of the two would slip back on the second one, meaning neither could be used, and sometimes that would jam up the dispenser. Once I was aware of that I could usually feel it happen, and avoid the jam, but its still dissapointing, and wastes pasters. Even so its faster than peeling them off a roll manually, but if half stars were an option, I'd knock my rating down to 3.5.

Works perfect for target pasters in competition.

I used the same model for target patching and it functioned well. I'm not sure how the labels will work in freezing temperatures but they were satisfactory in the 50's

I am very impressed with the quality of this for the price. It’s simple to use and saves a ton of time taking up targets. Would purchase again! Well made and should last.

Genius! Absolutely impressed. Perfect build quality. Fantastic device - exactly what we needed. So simple to use. Yeah, there are no instructions but the video on the listing showed how to load it and it was incredibly intuitive. Highly highly recommend if you need to put a lot of stickers or labels on something.

Quelques petits ratés de temps en temps mais cela me convient pour mon utilisation.

This is a great item, should have purchased years ago. It is easy to load and distribute labels. Fantastic seller with fast dispatch of item.
