Page 5 - Gamo Cone Pellet Trap, Collapsible Reviews

quality and simple construction and design. My seven YO assembled it without much trouble. It has done well with lead pellets in a Ruger youth rifle at 565 fps. Collects most of the pellets, with only a few making their way out of the trap.

could have been a little bigger.

Pay attention to the size.

Does a good job of collecting pellets.

Make it slightly larger.

I'm shooting a Gamo CF-X and the 9 grain pellets are denting the back pretty well/chipping off the powder coat. Perhaps a note about which rifles should be used could be posted. 1000fps seems too much although functional.

This is probably the best metal target trap out there. I tried some of the others and was disappointed by ricochets bouncing back at the shooter. The carboard backed targets keep the pellets from bouncing back most of the time. The angle of the sides of the trap guides most pellets into the collection tube.

It would be nice if they had a version say 9"x9" for 8" targets at a greater distance. A wooden frame around the front metal parts to prevent strays from ricocheting off the small metal peices that hold the target.

Buy plenty of targets it is fun to use!

compact and durable

Rugged, handles lead pellets up to 1000 fps. The 100 included targets are a heavy stock, and hits make a nice clean, highly visible hole. Wall mount on the back lets it easily be mounted on a Wall, Post, Fence, etc. Does a good job catching pellets. Well made, and collapses easily so it can fit into my range bag easily.

This is great as is, excellent size for most indoor shooting. I'd like to see a larger version for outdoor distance shots.

It is smaller than I expected, much smaller.

Overall a pretty good trap. Easy to clean. Well worth the price.

Too small: I use it in the garage, but not in the basement.

Put a plastic bag in the trap behind the target to prevent occasional pellet ricochet.

It works great ...

offer more target papers with different target size , like one with 4 bulls eyes on 1 paper .

I think it is a good value for the money

when you figure it out the assemmbly is rather simple a good target for pistols not large enough for rifles

I would make it larger

it will eat up any pellets except larger calibers not good for much beyond .177 cal

Easy to put together, easier to use, and works well. Can be mounted on a stick or just placed on the ground. Took the 22 caliber pellets from my RWS 460 magnum without apparent effect or damage. Used the lead pellets and the copper coated ones without problem.

Nothing I can think of.

I read that others had problems with pellets bouncing back. I set my target on the ground 10 meters away and the angle kept any pellets from bouncing back.

Well made. Shot over 500 rounds into the trap and no problems or defects.

Maybe the design of the trap; pellet fragments do bounce back sometimes.

Pellet fragments will bounce back when shooting 1K fps rifles. Don't set up close and if you do wear safety glasses.

Well designed and constructed.

Nothing.

Works very well with large caliber (.22) at 60 feet. Pellets are collected in the bottom of the collection tube.

Heavy construction and a nice price. Lots of targets with it.

A good little trap for the money.

very strong material easy to build easy setup. the paper targets are really strong i like how it came with 100 free targets

I would make it bigger i didn't realize that the trap was small

nothing really. It works real good with powerful springers 1000fps rated just fun to shoot at it

It's made well , with the ability to handle high impacts. I did fire .22 cal and .177 cal pellets at this trap from 24' and it took all rounds with no trouble. It's easy to build , and comes with 100 free targets. Since I started using Gamo tragets , nothing else compares as far as I'm concerned so the 100 targets are a great bonus to this well build well priced trap.

make the slits tighter so that they hold the targets more secure.

I bend the Gamo targets back at the top and bottom a little , which has helped keep them from sliding out once in awhile. I noticed that it even kept the targets from pushing out when some of the pellets collected at the bottom. Try crimping the slots a little as well , so the targets fit snug in the rails. I have had a few shots bounce back , but I still think this is a great trap. I can handle a few bounce backs out of the 200 pellets I fire at the targets in this trap during each practice.

Thick walls, easy to mount.

The angle of the deflector plate in the back of the cone is too shallow.

Something (cloth, foam rubber, etc) should be gentle placed into the back of the throat of the cone to reduce ricochets and bounceback. Hold it in place with some duct tape.

Very sturdy construction. Easy to mount. Compact. Easy to empty. The targets are well-printed on good paper stock. Wadcutters punch very clean holes in them.

Pellets do rebound. Many of the pellets remnants wind up sitting right behind the target paper. One pellet did bounce back out through the target.
