Gamo Rocker Pellet Trap, Reset Reviews

Bought one of these from Pyramid a few years ago, still going strong. It became my favorite target quickly.

Solidly built. Mechanically reliable

For pistol shooters, it needs to be at least 50% bigger - even at 5 meters. OK for air rifles with scopes at 10 meters, if you're pretty good.

Shipping was pricey.

It's really built well. Solid, heavy construction, ports for dumping pellets out...it's well designed and well built.

This is lots more fun than shooting paper!

Sturdy construction and challenging targets.

It's smaller than expected. Make sure you understand what you're getting.

Fun little pellet trap. The small paddles are a nice challenge and forces you to work harder to get them versus the big bigger paddles.

The side slots to dump pellets out could use a sliding door to keep pellets in until you are ready to empty the trap.

It has been said before but is worth repeating. This little gem is for lead BBs and pellets only. Stay below the velocity listed and this trap will last a long time. If the trap is too loud wrap it in an old blanket or comforter.

The different size plates makes for fun challenging shooting. The center reset plate is a very nice feature.

Pellets stick to plates. Quality control is a little lacking. One of the stamped star nuts that assemble the thru rods was missing. Required a repair on my part.

I greased the paddles, and that solved the problem of the pellets sticking. Expect a little fine tuning on your part. Still like the trap. Cant get to fussy for the price.

It works well.

Everything Gamo is quality. But it should be clarified that it is only for low-powered weapons. I would make it bigger. It is very small.

Does not perform well with higher powered guns.

Great little trap .

Nothing

Don't shoot it closer than it says to , pellets will stick to the paddles .

The reset is a cool idea

The targets dent too easily. Don't think they will last very long

This is just neater than sliced bread!

This needs some kind of damper; so, pellet guns could use a little more than absolute minimum power.

At the minimum number of pumps, this works nice! This notice is in the instructions. Also stated; do not use BB's (for the obvious ricochet reason).

It is a tough little plinkbox. At 20 yards my old powerful 167 Crosman does not make a scratch nor does my new Diana Chaser 22 rifle. I don't know how they make the paint so impact resistant .And it is great indoors for 177 and 22 pistols at 25 feet.

Nothing

Indoors or in fading light outside it is difficult to see the spinners. I added a direct spotlight to my cellar range and problem solved.

Fun and challenging. Has withstood many thousands of impacts so far from my low power guns without issue. (Diana P5, Zoraki HP-01 (2 pumps max), SAR Embark Youth Air Rifle UX-2280050 [SAR Embark Youth Air Rifle...])

Make a version for use with high-power springer rifles. Add a backlight so targets are easier to see when using indoors

Pellets sometimes stick to the paddles, and are difficult to remove. Just ignore them, they'll fall off eventually. Or, as someone else suggested, oil the paddles before use. This target will not stand up to higher power air rifles. For best results, face this target as close to perpendicular as possible. A strong hit to a non-center paddle will sometimes trigger a partial reset.

Light, easy to handle to empty pellets. Fun to use, a departure from punching paper.

Changing the angle of the back so pellets don't bounce out. Or maybe making it deeper. I'm usually picking up pellets off the floor, even when shooting from 20 feet. I shoot an old Daisy Powerline 717.

Works as adverised

Make it bigger! More targets!

This is the pellet trap you should own.

Pellet trap works well. Along with pellets I've used Excite lead bb's and the trap did well containing them.

Nothing.

Works well at 5 meters.

Rugged construction, good weight, good design, works every time.

I wish it was about 20 percent larger.

Some of the pellets stuck to the paddles at first. After I smeared some high temp clear grease on them problem solved. Vaseline or WD might work as well. I lubed the bearing points of the rails too. I use my target with pellet pistols and a couple of low velocity rifles. An occasional ricochet occurred, but the crushed pellet only made it out about 4-5 feet. Good fun, pays for itself over time saving money spent on pricey paper targets.

I'm having a blast with this thing ! My friends and I have shot over 5 tins of pellets into it already. Realy fun! The ease of use makes it so fun it's hard to stop shooting at it with our pistols ! I just ordered 4 more tins of pellets and I'm regretting not ordering 10 instead. ....guess I'll be ordering more soon.....

The only trouble is pellets stick to the targets so I smeared a thin layer of grease on them and that helps for awhile.

You must wear your safety glasses (duh!) And dump it out after 50 shots or so because it will spit spent pellets back at you when the bin gets to meny in it.

This thing is a lot of fun and a pretty good challenge as the small circles are only 3/4". I like the sound it makes as they are hit and flip up, it's a very satisfying " kachunk".

I shoot this in my garage at 5-7 yards with lower power pistols. It is quite reliable, meaning that the targets usually flip up and stay when hit although not always. Sometimes when one goes up a couple come down. I don't consider that a problem since you're going to knock them all down again anyway. Considering the price point and construction this is really an ingenious and sturdy little device. I have two so that we can shoot against each other. Sometimes the pellets bounce off the targets 2-3 feet at very low velocity. Never any zinger ricochets. You can put a hole in the housing, which I have done with higher power rifles when I was too lazy to take them outside for a couple test shots (I was just using it as a pellet catch). It would probably be fine out at 20+ yards or even 10 yards with lower power rifles. Probably says something about that in the instructions. Considering the thousands of pellets I have shot at these at close range, I have to give it 5 stars.

the fun factor...it is fun...i'm running a diana lp8 and no damage,and at close range...try to use wadcutters if possible...

i put a 4"*7.8" piece of spare carpet in the back of trap and it does help w/ ricochet

well worth the price...and how many phone books do your friends have?...

Fun to shoot at!and the reset feature

Put rubber on the backstop to prevent the occasional ricohet!

Sometimes the shipping might alter the reset function...I had to look at how the reset worked and put the springs back into the correct places
