Feeding innovation through experience. Straight Shooter started in late 2004 with one goal — make a feeder that feeds straight — and every machine that leaves the shop in Fenton, Missouri is still built to it.
Straight Shooter was founded by Jim Kaiping after more than thirty years of selling and servicing mailing and printing equipment. Every machine we build uses our patented Buckle Separation™, and every belt on it comes off in minutes with one Allen wrench. We build for OEMs, dealers and end users across mailing, printing, packaging and bindery.
What we are not is a catalog house. If you have a piece that will not feed, the useful thing is to send it to us. We will run it on the machine we think it belongs on, film it, and tell you straight whether it works — including when the answer is that none of ours will do it.

We will come back to you with the machine we think it lands on, and what it costs. If you want to send the piece itself, the shipping address is on the right.
