    Things I liked:-Works as advertised, really is silent when struck with pellets -Looks to be built solidly -Comes with several target sheets to get you started -Virtually no mess thanks to design and materials
    Things I would have changed:-Price was a little higher than I would like -At this price point I would have hoped that the trap could handle more than just "guns that produce less than 18 foot-pounds of energy at 10 meters." It would be nice if in the future they had a version that could handle upto 25 foot-pounds
    What others should know:-This has been one of my best purchases from PA -Truly is quiet, based on another review here I bought this to use in my apartment and it's a great solution for my environment -Before I bought this pellet trap, I had been using stacked phonebooks behind target sheets... this was an el-cheapo solution that created tons of mess for me to deal with. I didn't realize how badly a couple dozen pellets would tear up them, ie. I had paper dust in my apartment for a while. With the ballistic putty backing, the A.G.E. trap has no such side effects.

    Things I liked:Good idea, but not strong enough. Two units arrived in the mail with the back panels detached from the weight of the ballistic putty moving during shipment. The back panel is thin and held on only with staples. A stronger design is needed to support the weight of the ballistic putty.
    Things I would have changed:he back panel needs to be stronger and held on more securely to avoid having the weight of the ballistic putty make it detach from the rest of the box
    What others should know:Customer service was excellent -- among the best I've experienced for an internet purchase.

      Things I liked:This trap is really great. I think the problems people are having with pellets getting through the putty material can all be avoided. First, take the putty out of the plastic it comes in. Second, pack it in to the base so it's one solid piece with even coverage. Regardless what the description says the amount of putty that comes with it is the right amount. Works great and really is very quiet.
      Things I would have changed:I added a handle at the top like a few others have done. This really makes it much easier to cary. It is heavy so its kind of awkward to carry without a handle, especially with one hand. It is a little pricey but the putty is not cheap and it is a great product even for the price.
      What others should know:Make sure to install the putty properly and it will work great. I bought a sheet of foam board for a few bucks and cut out openings for the different size targets I'm using. Then I just clip the targets to the board and slide them in. I don't use the cardboard backing at all.

      Things I liked:Quiet! Great for indoors or in the suburbs. Well built. Nicely finished wood.
      Things I would have changed:Nothing.
      What others should know:When you get this trap, take off the cardboard front, lay it on a flat sturdy surface, take your fists and push the ballistic clay down, spreading it out. If not, expect a few holes through the back of your trap! Ask me how I know....

      Things I liked:It is quiet and mostly well-made. Most of the pellets embed nicely in the duct seal material ("ballistic putty") which sits behind a cardboard target backing.
      Things I would have changed:The back of the trap is made of very thin wood which fractures easily as the pellets fly through the seams in the three bags of duct seal. The biggest annoyance is that the 10M 12 Bull targets I previously purchased are too small for a secure fit. I have to use push-pins to secure the target. As others have said, there are only 12.5lbs of duct seal rather than 15lbs.
      What others should know:The "target backer" is actually just a piece of cardboard. I now make sure I cut replacement cardboard backers whenever I receive a large shipping box. The duct seal material is actually 2 1/2 bags of 5lbs each. Unfortunately, pellets can fly between the edges of the bags and into the trap backing. I've tried reforming the bags but haven't solved this problem. Make sure you purchase the 10M targets linked on the trap's web page so you get the right size.

      Things I liked:It is an excellent product. Truly quiet, contains lead dust. Works just like it is supposed to.
      Things I would have changed:I afixed a handle to the top of mine, a simple modification I highly recommend as it makes it so much easier to carry.
      What others should know:12.5 vs. 15 pounds of duct seal? The 12.5 is the correct amount to fill the trap.

      Things I liked:My trap was not broken, it arrived in fine condition.
      Things I would have changed:I would change the description from 15lbs of putty to 12.5, because 1 of the 5lb bags is cut in half.
      What others should know:It holds the targets and stops the pellets quietly, what else is there to know.

      Things I liked:PyramydAir resolved the issue from my earlier review quickly and professionally. I have been using this with everything from a .177 pistol to a .22 R1 at 25'. Even a domed field target round from the R1 only penetrates about 1/3 of the way into the putty. Silent and clean, a great trap.

      Things I liked:The 12.5 lbs of putty I received with the order.
      Things I would have changed:The 2.5 lbs of putty I didn't receive...
      What others should know:Trap arrived with only 12.5 lbs of putty. One of the three 5 lb blocks was cut in half. No telling where the other 2.5 lbs went, but they didn't show up here. Web page states "Includes: Pellet trap, 15 lbs. of ballistic putty, 1 target backer and 4 NRA 12-bull targets." Trap survived shipment just fine.
