Just fill it up with whatever you need, and you can take it to the job site. The spray can system makes marking much easier. In fact, the Flagshooter can get your locating jobs done over 30% faster. If you’re ready to purchase this amazing product or any other marking flags, be sure to look at what we have in stock.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR FLAGSHOOTER

The Flagshooter comes with a set of practice flags so you can get a feel for how it works, but it only takes Flagshooter flags. It has several parts that make placing survey flags easier, including a handle and trigger that you will hold on to as you shoot them. The Flagshooter also has a depth stop and retaining gate, as well as quiver in the back so you can store an extra two or three clips. Once you pull the door open, just lay the flags in before sliding it shut. Make sure you rotate your hand to lift the door as it closes. To shoot flags, you’ll need a steady arm and a good push. Move the Flagshooter to the side afterward to make sure you clear the inserted flag. You can use the depth stop to set the depth in which the flags will be inserted, and the paint can holder is compatible with any can full of marking paint. Put it all the way in and use the trigger to paint.
