Things I would have changed:As other reviewers noted, the first of the 3 interior curtains wears out more quickly than I anticipated (some sections were shot through after maybe 100 pellets). The two back curtains are thicker and made of tougher material, they seem to last longer. I suggest you keep buying replacement curtain sets from Crosman or develop your own curtain or padding material for the inside. The rest of the trap (metal back plate, tough plastic sides) will last a long time as long as there is something on the inside to cushion the blow and trap the pellets safely. Also as others noted it would be better if the trap was slightly bigger, so a 8.5x11 inch sheet could be attached as-is to front. Works fine though for standard targets you may buy, they are smaller. What others should know:I saved the original front cardboard to use as a template, and did all my shooting with scrap cardboard I cut to fit (punched 4 holes with a hole punch for the mounting clips). I use 1 thick cardboard cut to the template (like original cardboard) plus two thinner pieces as well (thin sheets like 3x5 card stock) to slow the pellets more. These last maybe 100 shots, then I replace. When I saw how much the curtains were wearing out, I also cut a scrap piece of carpeting to size and put it inside in front of the curtains, it takes most of the punishment and seems to capture the pellets fine. I've got a lot of scrap carpet I can cut.

Things I liked:Easy to use, accurate, good quality construction. The trigger pull is just fine despite what some people say, not hard at all. Pull about half way advances cylinder, then rest of way to fire shot. No problems at all mechanically. Great value for the price. Pyramid price, shipping speed and packing were very good. Only planning

Pull about half way advances cylinder, then rest of way to fire shot. No problems at all mechanically. Great value for the price. Pyramid price, shipping speed and packing were very good. Only planning to use for indoor target shooting. Will add a scope some day. Like flexibility to use with 88 g adapter or just the 12 g powerlets - both work out to be about same cost. Power sufficient for paper targets and small plinking items (easily penetrates aluminum cans, plastic items, popsicle sticks make good targets). Things I would have changed:Front sight seems rotated just slightly, but I adjusted rear sight to compensate and shoots accurately. Rear sight could be a little easier to adjust (need to loosen and tighten two screws plus stepped slider), but I only needed to adjust once to sight in. What others should know:If you're shooting from about 10 meters it is hard to miss anything larger than a dime. Get accurate 36 accurate shots + 12 more plinkers from 12g cylinder. Get about 250 or so accurate shots from the 88 g cylinder. I don't think you need speed loader, it is good to pause and reload 12 shot clip to let CO2 cylinder warm up for more consistent shots. Mine works best with RWS Hobby, Beeman wadcutter so far. Add drop of Pelgun oil to top of each powerlet before loading per instruction manual.
