Response to follower on boss repairs

I’ve had a question about  target boss repair and the type of banding fastener I use as it allows the banding to be adjusted, i.e., tightened if the boss is not compressed enough.

The original post goes into some details and another on boss repairs.

They are a type of buckle that holds the banding tight, and if like I do, you leave a long tail on the banding and don’t cut it short. You will have enough to feed back into your banding machine and can then tighten the boss if needed.

leaving 5-6 inches tail on the end of the banding seems to work well for my banding machine.

Thanks for reading and if you have any questions drop me a line.

  1. Thank you Rob. This is the same buckle design as used on my target. They make phosphate coated buckles too which have a little more friction to help reduce slipping although they’re advertised for use on woven banding strapping as opposed to the composite type used with these targets.
