Page 3 - Champion Heavy Duty Metal Trap Reviews

It's sturdy, it's heavy, and can be modified to be relatively quiet. It has made it possible for me to set up an indoor range in my basement for a wide variety of airguns (pistols and rifles).

I would make it a little easier on the user to quiet it down. Many other traps of various styles of "curtains" and such an addition could provide much quieter operation. I would suggest using some sort of carpet-like material to line the inside, attached using some sort of hook system, and offer replacement "liners" as these would obviously take on a lot of wear and tear. Would be a good way to add consumables to this product line.

It's sturdy, it can be loud. Line the inside with some kind of carpet (I used indoor/outdoor only because it's more durable). If using outside, no mods really needed. If using inside, also suggest placing a telephone book on the back to deaden some of the sound. I use a variety of targets and have even created a custom knock down target to place in front of this "backstop" that auto resets (using old spoons and some bits and pieced of wood and metal rods (spokes from an old bicycle wheel). Ingenuity can take this product to a much higher usage rate and flexibility of target options.

Works great in my indoor range.

Could be a little less money, but it functions properly so you get what you pay for.

Do not hesitate to get one,

A quality steel trap that can safely stop the pellets from my air guns. It's built like a tank. I have it set up in my basement for all year fun.

Nothing.

It's noisy and heavy. It works just fine.

Great quality, good value for the money

Perfectly safe for my Marauder .25 PCP

does the job expected

Add some weights to attach to the bottom of the target to prevent movement when hit by a slower pellet resulting is an elongated hole.

It is surprisingly straightforward in this new world of perception's value vs. honorable inclusion. It is exactly as you would expect with no negative surprises. ( so far)

does the job

nothing .

no

This trap will last me forever. I know it is pricey for a pellet trap BUT it is worth it. It is a one time purchase and I will never shoot out the back of this trap. If I shoot the clamp and ruin it, I'll go to any office supply store like Staples or Office Max and buy another. I wish I had bought this trap years ago. I have shot my 22 cal BSA into it and not a dimple. If you want to do some serious long term shooting, this is the trap. It's pretty heavy for a pellet trap because it was made for rimfire.

I haven't a clue.

You won't regret buying it.

Very well built trap will stop 22 caliber pellets at 10 meters even thought not rated for that close. I shoot mainly 17 target rifle but decided to see if it would stop my hunting pellet rifel.

Nothing very durable.

Have fun shooting indoors safely

Very well made heavy duty trap. Should last a very long time.

Would love one that is twice the size width and height. Roughly 2'x2'

Lined with duct seal 10lbs. Makes for a very quiet trap that you can have confidence in to capture your lead. I have used safely with spring and pcp up to .25 cal 53 fpe.

I like the fact that this is actually a .22lr trap. I was able to purchase this for my air rifle and .22 so the value was really great.

Nothing.

As others have said there is a bit of ringing when the projectile hits. Not a big deal for me (I live in the country and everyone shoots) but if you are in a smaller environment you may need to try some sound/vibration reduction material on the outside.

Heavy & rugged. Information on box states that it is rated for .22 LR.

Better packaging. Mine arrived with 3 of the 4 corners bent. Probably because it had dropped several time during shipping. Straightened easily with a large adjustable wrench adjusted to the metal thickness. Paint was not damaged.

I hung a old piece of carpet over the back wall to dampen the sound of the pellet striking the back wall. Attached it using spring clips on the top of the back wall. Carpet hangs and moves when a pellet strikes it which absorbs some of the energy.

Heavy duty, pellets flatten out and fall into the trap as they should,well worth the money.

A little larger would be nice but if it was larger it would have to cost more.

If you are a back yard shooter this is what you need to keep pellets from ricocheting and getting some-one hurt.

You hit this and it is quite and solid. Great target trap.

Nothing.

It is heavy but solid as a rock.

Solid, durable, very well made. Should last a lifetime

Nothing.

Great trap for indoor shooting.

Everything it's a well made trap, that can hold up under .25 and smaller high power pellet guns.

I wish it had a sound damping coating on the outside, my CondorSS really makes it ring.

Be careful with the lead dust, the pellets literally splatter when they hit the backstop.

It works like it should.

Add sound dampening coating for indoor use.

Don't drop it on anything you don't want broken, seriously.

its heavy duty, doesn't move around. does a pretty good job holding lead. very easy to move. very solid 1 piece unit. I would buy this again.

maybe rubber spray coat the outside to help with the noise. I believe this unit is just a little high priced, but its going to last me a lifetime too.

if you cover the face entirely with duck tape "just one layer" this will stop any lead dust or fragments from coming back out onto the floor if you are shooting inside. once the tape gets shot up pretty bad just put another layer over the shot up area and keep shooting. it also reduces the clang by about 90%. I also duc taped a thick phone book to the backside to help with the noise, but the duck tape across the front really works wonders and its a really cheap noise fix. ive probably got 3500 pellets in the trap now and I have no lead dust at all in the house. I use to vacume the shooting area every session, but there is no need now. you should try it.

well, it is a trap .. it traps the lead and if you can and want to melt the lead down you can sell it and you save the money you spend on your pellets.

nothing

If you buy a pellet trap . you can melt the used pellets down then sell the lead and make money.. In Fact make the money you spend on lead pellets. so the price of you pellets kinda becomes free and you get the fun of shooting your Airgun. Good luck. OH, if you buy a Champion pellet trap it can also handle a .22 cal Rimfire bullets ( it have not tested a rimfire yet)

I love it.. My Beeman shoots at 1200fps in .177cal with lead . and it shoots 1000fps lead .22 cal.. funny all you hear is a ding sound as they hit the back of the target.

have a opening with a door so you can get the use pellets out easy.

You want this if you want to make a in your own car garage shooting range.I got tired of wooden boxes I made.this traps the pellets then you can melt then down and maybe sell the lead. This will take a .22 cal Rimfire bullet so for Pellets You are good. I think BBs would bounce out of the trap to be careful.

It works.

Trap rings loudly when it hits, much louder than the report of the gun. Not really good when you're trying to get some practice shots at home and not disturb everyone.

A couple of strategically placed metal bends can greatly reduce the impact ringing. I wound up applying insulating foam to the back and sides to finally quieten it down.
