By John from USA on 2022-05-23 17:04:17

Things I liked:

very heavy duty,

Things I would have changed:

the target clip mechanism is very poor. I use a wire tie to secure the clip to the metal bracket. there are no guide channels on the edges to hold card board and targets. always put cardboard behind targets or lead fragments spray out at you.

What others should know:

save you boxes to back cardboard target backers. Be careful to manage you lead exposure safely. use alloy pellets for indoor shooting

    Things I liked:

    It's very solid. My friend had one and I was not impressed because it needed a few tweeks. Like it dropped the sprawl out a space in the back when you picked it up. This one is much better about that. It's sealed and curved. I get a lot less bounce outs and when I pick it up it doesn't spill lead on the ground.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would sure like a way to get some light behind it to see the holes in targets better.

    Things I liked:

    Nice, heavy duty trap, wide opening for safely shooting into it. Well constructed, good mounting system for the target holding clip.

    Things I would have changed:

    Put a layer of some padding or other at the back of the trap, or make one available for purchase. That thing is WAY louder than the gun!

    What others should know:

    Consider your linen closet at the end of a decent length hallway for an indoor shooting range, if it can be done safely. Move one shelf worth of towels and sheets, and set the trap there. Insta-range, ta dah! {: - ) (Your wife may vary...)

    Things I liked:

    Heavy duty steel trap, nicely sized. No doubt would contain a standard velocity 22 rimfire outdoors but I use mine on a 20 foot basement range where I Limit 22/177 pellet velocity to CO2 or 3 pumps (no break barrel) and have experienced very little splash. Always use cardboard backers behind targets and wad cutters for clean holes.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    Heavy and expensive (but worth the price) so add other items you have been wanting to meet free shipping and if there is a discount available it makes it really affordable so get off the fence youre missing a lot of fun.

    Things I liked:

    The size is perfect for what I need and portable enough to take with me anywhere. It is stout and seems very durable. The clip works well and holds a paper target just fine.

    Things I would have changed:

    I held off getting this trap because of the price for years but finally bit the bullet or "pellet" ha. Although I wish it was a bit cheaper it is a great trap!

    Things I liked:

    It is a sturdy stop. Does very good on stopping 25 cal pellets. It should last a few generations, not years.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wish there was a better way to put up your target. The clip works well, but once that clip is accidentally hit, you may as well purchase a new one at walmart. Even so, it is better to replace a 2 dollar item like a clip, than a whole target. Would be nice to have a way to hold your target on the edges so that they would not blow around in the wind for those who shoot outside.

    What others should know:

    What is really nice, is that the opening of this backstop is the exact size of a piece of typing paper. I used a computer and drew 5 bullseye's on a piece of typing paper and this allows me to make cheap targets. Make sure you use cardboard behind the paper so that backsplatter doesn't mess up your targets. One other thing.. .If shooting in wind, the target will sometimes catch the wind and fold up to where you can't shoot. Tape your target to the cardboard to stop this from happening in the wind.

    Things I would have changed:

    It needs to have some clay in the trap to help quiet it down and control lead splatter.

    Great trap.

    Things I liked:

    I shoot it with my AEA Terminator 357 at 150+ FPE and my Texan 30 with 140 FPE and it takes it like a champ. After several hundred rounds and 3 years of hard use it has not one single dent. Fantastic trap!

    Things I liked:

    I like being able to shoot my pellet guns indoors, especially since I live in the Northeast and it's way too cold outside to be out there trying to aim while shivering. LOL I haven't experienced any splatter and it traps all the pellets I fire at it. I recommend this to anyone who wants an indoor range for their pellet guns. I may even try my luck with my High Standard Victor .22 and my .25 ACP at some point.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would change the angle of the back a bit to work better with BBs.

    What others should know:

    Stand back if you're going to use this for BB guns. Mine hasn't trapped a single BB yet. I shoot my CO2 BB pistol from 15 feet, and I have had BBs sail back past me. So far every BB I have fired at it are somewhere on my basement floor. I'm going to try placing shims under the back of the trap to see if I can find an angle that will work better for the BBs. They don't come out with enough force to be dangerous, for the most part, so I still recommend this to the indoor shooters out there.

    Things I liked:

    Heavy duty and great design. I used the styrofoam triangles that came with it to help stabilize my targets. Shot both a .22 caliber air pistol and .25 caliber air rifle and was very impressed with how the pellets were trapped and ended up in bits and pieces inside the trap

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing...works great.

    What others should know:

    Get one for a solid trap making air gunning target shooting that much more fun and safe.

    Things I liked:

    I've had one of these for about 20 years now, and it's absolutely the best deal on the market. It's relatively big, extremely well built (it'll stop a .22LR), and the fact that it rings like a bell means the welds are good. I've emptied the lead dust out of mine after every several thousand shots, but if you leave the dust in that helps deaden the ringing.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wish there was a larger version. If there was a way to hang the target farther inside the opening, that would limit the amount of lead backsplash. If the back angle was more sloped, that would limit backsplash. If it came with some kind of sound-deadening compound or feature that would limit ringing.

    What others should know:

    I bought a 12x12" sheet of Dynamat (TM) at the local car audio shop not long after getting mine (again, this was 20 years ago). Slapping a big triangle of the stuff on each side of the trap made a big difference in deadening the ringing. These things really do "break in". After 20,000-30,000 rounds with air pistol and rifle mine doesn't spit lead back out much anymore and the weight of lead dust in the bottom completely deadens the ringing.
