Do-All Outdoors Bullet Box, Pellet Reviews

The bullet/pellet trap is built strong enuf to handle .22 rimfire. I haven't tested it for .22lr YET, but have shot .177 and .22 pellet guns into it and it traps the pellets. It comes disassembled, and has to be bolted together, with included hardware. This was easy to do. It has some weight to it, but I carry it outside for range practice. It's backyard friendly quiet. It should last a lifetime and will allow me to collect the lead to cast into large bore ammo (.357/9mm). Now I just have to shoot more pellets for more lead to melt down, Yay! Buy one..

Nothing. It does everything it's designed for.

Save ur lead and you can sell the bulk lead to people who cast their own bullets, or to a recycling facility. Or make some fishing sinkers. Lead has value, don't send it to a landfill. I used JB Weld on the gaps in the metal plates to prevent lead fragments from coming out. This bonded the individual plates together, which seemed to make it quieter. I taped cardboard over the face of it to prevent pellets from bouncing back out.

The size is adequate. Read reviews of welded models that our noisy. Found this model that is bolted together to be quiet.

Fit and finish is a little crude. Maybe lm being a little picky, after all it is a trap.

I use a cardboard backer, and do not have any problems with the targets laying flat, or with ricochets.

I'm surprised how practical this trap is in my backyard. Light weight makes it easy to take outdoors for daily use and then bring back indoor for storage away from the weather. Accepts many sizes of paper targets; my favorite for this trap is "National Target 5 Bull Red Center Air Rifle Target".

Eliminate the small gaps between the plate, which allow small lead chips to fall out of the trap when setting down for storage and when emptying the used pellets.

In stronger wind the paper target will flutter, since the clip holds only the top of the paper. That is a good indicator to hold your shot, thereby avoiding inaccuracy by the wind.

Have one of these traps and it works great. Only have use it for pellets. One thing I noticed this morning, when shooting PCP .22 with the Gamo Rocket the BB bounced back out of the trap.

I have had this trap for many years now. It is heavy and durable but only ok. There are gaps where the sides bolt together. You will get lead back splash with higher power air guns or when shooting close range. Makes a mess of trying to shoot indoors. The lead fragments will leak out from gaps. I sealed up the gaps with caulking as others have mentioned. It is also loud and not very conducive for stealthy backyard shooting in a suburban neighborhood or shooting indoors. I quickly tired of the clanging from pellet impacts. I later learned about rubber mulch traps from the airgun forums and got the idea to stuff this trap full of rubber mulch. I pack the rubber mulch in very tight and I tape cardboard over the front to hold it all in. I use two layers of cardboard as it seems to hold up longer and holds the mulch in better as you shoot out the cardboard. Add layers of tape periodically and then replace as needed. Now the trap is very quiet. No more backsplash from fragmented pellets.

Better fit on how the sides bolt together.

I would not recommend buying this trap for the purpose of turning it into a rubber mulch trap. But If you already have one and are tired of the clanging from pellet impacts and tired of the mess from lead fragments leaking out through the gaps try it. it is so much better now and I like my trap way more now.

So much better then putting targets up on plywood, and the mess is contained in the box.

It's heavy and sturdy,Stops ,22's.Easy assembly.

Maybe add some kind of sealant to the seams in the metal to prevent frag/spall from leaking out.

It's a great purchase.

Solid construction, built to last. Great for printing your own targets on letter size paper!

The metal clip on the top doesn't last long. I started using two small binder clips instead, one clipped directly onto the metal at the top (not the hanger), and the other with one of its arms through one of the arms on the other clip so that it hangs down from it to hold the target. I also use a small magnet at the bottom to hold the bottom of the paper target.

I've had mine for 6-7 years now and it's held up very well. If you're planning to use it inside like I do, just beware that it does tend to leave pieces of lead in the area around in front of the target, as far out as 10-15 ft with high powered airguns. These lead pieces can be sharp. Be careful.

Great stop overall. Have it set up in my basement and even my .25 cal airguns don't dent it.

Little fiddly to put together. Took a lot to hold the rod in place while tightening the screws.

Use a cardboard backer on your paper targets to get clean holes punched in targets. If you let them free hang, it tends to rip the targets when there's no support.

How strong it is and design

The clip i would make it stronger

If you plan on carrying it be aware that its heavy

I bought this trap to replace a cheap sheet metal pellet trap, it wasn't holding up well to .22 pellets around 700 fps. This trap is far thicker than the cheap ones they sell everywhere, and hasn't deformed at all after thousands of .22 and .177 pellets and plenty of .22lr bullets as well. It took a little work but this is a good trap for indoors or out if you put a little work into it.

The trap came with huge gaps around the sides, I had to weld the sides closed with a MIG welder before I could shoot indoors with it. Now it's one big hunk of steel and it gives a nice low "clunk" sound when the pellet hits. Also, I drilled two holes in each sides and attached some scrap 2X2 on the sides and bottom. I staple a piece of cardboard over the mouth of the trap and duct tape all the edges to keep lead fragments in the trap. It took me a couple hours to get it welded and sealed and ready to shoot, but it's so worth it if you do. Mine lives in the cabinet at the end of my hallway and only leaves to be emptied! So when if my boyfriend isn't home I just open the cabinet, get a fresh paper target and benchrest it off my couch like a cowgirl!! I love my indoor range!

I wouldn't suggest you get this unless you know how to weld or know someone who does. I used a 100 amp MIG welder and it's holding up just fine. But I did the outside and the inside on the higher-impact areas of the trap where it needed reenforcement. If you don't weld it up good it's going to make a mess, just warning you!! Also anything over 600 tends to fragment so it's best to shoot lower velocity guns indoors. Lastly you should clean up and vacuum the area and under the trap. But it's a great trap, I have no doubt this will probably last me until I'm an old lady!! I'd buy again!

One of the things I liked was the quality of the pellet tray, I have not used it as of yet but it appears that no pellet dust will escape and if some does it is only a minor fix with some sort of sealant like Silicone or something similar.

What I would change is the distance that comes with the trap, the manufacture claims one distance and Pyramyd Air claims another distance for .22 caliber and .17 caliber rim fire. Pyramyd Air makes the claim at a close distance, yet the manufacture claims the distance for a .22 should be no less than 25 yards and for .17 caliber no less than 100 yds. Some should get their act togethers because I planned on shouting my Marauder at 10 yds and this is a .22 coming out at 1000 FPS/

The price for this trap is something that I truly like and it is reasonably priced. I hope I will not regret buying this trap because of the conflicting distances stated between the manufacture and Pyramyd Air. The only reason I gave it a four star is because I have not used this trap and want to see if it dents at the yardage of a closer range than the manufacture states.

Good solid product.

Little noisy, would put a noise reduction material on the back impact plate.

Compact and super quality

Nothing

Put a piece of cardboard same size as box's opening behind your targets for cleaner holes and less ripping.

It works like advertised

Nothing

N/A

Very heavy duty construction and quality fit and finish.

I would like it to be a bit larger.

Rock solid, heavy steel.

Nothing

Go for it. Again, rock solid and easy to assemble.

Very sturdy. Easy to assemble. I am using this on a 10 meter range in my basement at shorter than the recommended range, mainly for my Gamo Whisper Fusion Mach 1 in .22 caliber. No problem with ricochets but I still wear safety glasses anyway. The trap shows no sign of wear from the hard hitting Gamo.

I cannot think of anything I would change except a better assembly manual. The very tiny photos made it difficult to tell the orientation of the back plate for assembly.

Heavy duty trap

Nothing

Great heavy duty trap.

Simple, rugged and well thought out. Assembles quickly, as all holes align and threads were clean. Manufacturer even provided only needed tool (allen wrench). As stated by others, this pellet trap is built to last.

I was very impressed. There is a slight gap between sidewall and base. Likely after many hours of shooting some very small lead fragments may drop through this gap onto the surface below the trap. One buyer caulked the gap. I simply set my trap on a rag and periodically roll it up and discard in the trash.

This unit is very well made and worth every penny.. Your grandkids can pass it on to their grandkids. Recommend without hesitation.
