Lol, touché. What kind of groups are you getting with that thing?
 
You want to grab a good name brand stapler that can use long T-50 staples.
I say that because T-50 staples are very easy to find, and if you run out chances are that someone at the range has some spare staples. beware cheap staplers since the staples they use can be hard to find.
I like using 9/16" staples because they easily go through a paper target, cardboard, and then stick far enough into wood to hold it all there

Thanks, want to find a forward push model that is easier to push as wife shoots and has trouble with the "lever" style. (with 9/16" standard staples)
But a lot of reviews show many models as jam-o-matics..

Just don't go for the plastic ones, they do not last. Wait for the sales at Canadian tire, happens about 4 time a year.

I'll second that. The plastic ones seem made for the job of light stapling (and less weight in the range bag) but do not last.

I bought the old man a pair of the Mastercraft staplers like you're asking about for Father's Day a few years ago. They're OK and require slightly less pressure to operate. I still prefer my old style Arrow T50 as it seems to punch out the staples with a lot more force and sticking power. If you're just tacking to cardboard the reverse handle style is probably great for your needs.
And thanks for this thread, it has become way more ridiculous and fun than it has any right to. :D

I take no credit for the "ridiculous and fun" part, but thanks for the useful stuff :)
