It does the job I want it to. I have a little range set up in my small basement and it catches anything I shoot into it from my sub-500fps crosman 1322 in .22.

The ballistic curtains are held up by plastic pieces that go across the whole top section of the trap. Inevitably they get shot up when you put a few hundred rounds into this trap (especially since the included targets have bullseyes that are almost in line with the plastic piece). Mine are shattered and nothing really holds up the screens anymore. The good part is they stand on their own relatively easily and even if pellets get through and make contact with the metal rear piece they don't even make a dent.

The plastic parts are not enough for me to advise against buying this trap. For the price it's a good purchase and the plastic could easily be replaced with some metal pipe or threaded metal rod.

This trap, unlike other models reviewed on this site has no problems w/ backstop thickness. Shoot 8.5 grain .177s at 900 fps and no dings not to mention dents after 2 tins of H&N FTT. Pellets turn to debris!

It would be great to get 2 extra sets of ballistic curtains free of charge. They definitely will reach a point that they have to be replaced.

Some complain about paper target availability; however, instructions clearly direct to leapers.com to print your own targets. Letter size paper fits width wise perfectly, simply purchase high weight (heavy density)paper and they still are much more price point efficient than buying paper targets. If you want a trap you will not shoot the back out of and want to do it cheaply this is for you!

This is okay but not great. It's easy to set up

I thought it would be a little bigger. The back comes off too easily letting the BB's go all over the place unless one is really careful but it's okay.

nice trap, stops all my .177 pellets. The "ballistic curtains" do slow the pellets down and significantly dampen the noise

the steel plate in the back is poorly secured, it slides in from the top. I had to tape it to keep it fully seated at the base of the trap

good pellet trap for the money

Price and construction.

Nothing

Great for indoor shoot. Has ballistic curtains.

Contains .177 lead pellets from my 6" Walther CP88 and Beretta PX4 Storm. Nothing to set up just replace the cardboard backer as needed. Ballistic curtain replaceable.

Would be nice to be able to also shoot .22 with this trap

Excellent trap for use with both of my .177 CO2 pistols. The ballistic curtain has held up well with all the .177 wadcutter, domed and hollowpoint pellets I have tried even with the more powerful Walther CP88. However as stated in the description do not use with any caliber larger than .177. The .22 cal Hatsan Model 25 I recently purchased started tearing the curtain up after only a few shots. So follow this recommendation "Do not use with caliber larger than .177". I would rate this as an excellent trap with .177 cal air guns.

It does stop most pellets

Make it larger and improve the ballistic sheets because my .177 1100 FPS airguns put the pellets through them

Hard find correctly sized targets for this trap. Not worth buying.

Easy to set up. Contains BB's and Pellets. BB's are reusable when retrieved, Pellets are NOT. I use this target with both my rifles and pistols.

Nothing

Usable with both .177 and .22 cal. air gun rifles and pistols, as long as you keep weapons fps within spec of target.

Does the job well.

Nothing, fine as it is.

Nice for shooting low velocity stuff indoors.

I've only used it lightly so far but I can provide this feedback: It reliably stops mid-weight flat nosed lead pellets from a .177 Gamo Whisper at about 10 yards. Not only are they reliably stopped but there is no sign of damage like pellet dimples showing up on the back sheet of metal. This combination is on the upper end of the claimed safe stopping range for this product and it seems to live up to the manufacturer's claims. This pellet stop, while not being (or pretending to be) "noisless" does seem to be quieter than a straight metal deflector type trap. There is a hanging piece of fabric to begin the deflection/deceleration in front of the "last chance" angled metal back plate. This seems to result in a somewhat quieter bullet stop. Worth it for indoor suburban shooting when you're trying to keep peace with your neighbors and house mates. So far (couple dozen rounds concentrated in the center) I see no sign of wear BUT this is certainly light usage AND any bullet trap should be regularly inspected for signs of wear. Don't guess, don't bet. Inspect and repair or replace BEFORE you need to. The weight of this trap is adequate to prevent movement on impact but not at all excessive.

I'd like a heavier piece of fabric than is in the trap. I have no indication that the current piece is too light but I'm already designing a replacement stop using heavy rubberized fabric to replace this much lighter material. Probably overkill but it's a good place to have overkill.

Good price/value combo. I'd buy one again and recommend it to a friend.
