Page 3 - Gamo Rocker Pellet Trap, Reset Reviews

Simple and works,,man have I shot alot of pellets at this thing!

Coat the targets with something that doesn't let the pellets weld to them.

For welding...I first used silicone spray, which helped some. Pam also works better.

fun to use.metal construction.works well so far.only got to use it once.

would make it bigger.come down on the price if you are going to keep it as small as it is. would give a higher rating if size was bigger for the money

dont have it long enough to tell how well internal parts will hold up in regard to past reviews,stating some parts on the internal bar can break if hit with pellets.pellets do stick to targets at times as previously noted in other reviews.its livable though.the size does make it a challenge

Reactive target with reset paddle. Pellets stay in the trap.

Get rid of the plastic spacers. Build it out of heavier steel for magnum airguns. Use threaded nuts instead of pressed nuts to hold the target rods in place.

Go to the hardware store and get extra pressed nuts. Some of those came off from the impact of the pellets allowing the target rods to fall out of place. I use this in my basement at 16 feet. At this range only low velocity guns are safe. To avoid damage to the trap at close range, keep velocity to less than 600 FPS for .177 and under 500 FPS for .22 cal. A pump gun works best since you can reduce the power. I have a Daisy 880, Daisy 822 and a Sheridan blue streak. Two pumps from any of those guns is enough for this trap in the basement.

very nice trap. Works very well for lower power pellet guns. The instructions tell you what caliber and distances you can use... My .177 500 fps pellet gun works fine at 10 to 15 yards. More powerful rifles need to be from a farther distance. Very powerful guns can't be used at all with this target!

For some reason, flat-head pellets tend to "solder" themselves to the targets! Very strange. I tried putting a bit of vaseline on the target heads and that seemed to help. But I wish they would find a way to keep flat-head pellets from sticking to the targets. They are hard to pry off! I shot at them in very dim light, and i could see sparks. Something is not right here.

the swinging traps were pretty cool. I like how the center trap releases the other targets.

Needs a thicker back wall becaue i have a beeman RS2 which dents the back of the trap.

Use a lower velocity airgun for your own safety, I shot my .22 cal. airgun and it ricoched back at me.

- la facilité d'utilisation - les plombs restent dans le boite - possibilité de le fixer

utilisable en intérieur ou extérieur. Idéal pour les carabinier.

You have five different targets that you can shoot at with two more challenging than the rest. Center shot resets the trap so you can go all day with this it. Makes a satisfying plink when you hit your target dead on. Very addicting.

I wish the tray did a better job of holding the spent rounds. They have a tendency to fall out the side two holes on the bottom.

Perfect for low power air pistols. Would not recommend for high power air rifles.

This trap is great if you want something for that let's you shoot all day. I don't think it's made to work for high powered rifle, but for shooting from 5 to 7 meters with an open sighted pistol at around 440 fps, it's fun and you can sit in the same spot all day without having to get up to reset the targets. Just perfect for an old-timer like me. If you had a low-powered scoped gun, you could set it up at a longer distance, just check what the manufacture recommends.

A lot of fun. Works as expected. Almost all of the lead stays in the trap.

nothing.

I use this in my basement at 30 feet. Works best with round nose pellets as sometimes a wadcutter will stick to the target. An excellent product.

This is a lot of fun compared to hitting paper targets.

Stronger construction for the magnum air rifles, more robust catch mechanism for targets so that magnum fired pellets don't drop targets already hit.

I would avoid magnum air rifles since it takes a beating - good sized dents in the back and the pellet hits so hard, that it often drops targets that were already hit and hidden. Perfect for BB guns and low powered air guns.

Nice compact pellet trap.

It all works as advertised. Haven't had the time to use it that much to see if there is anything to improve. So far it has worked perfectly. (Gave it to myself for Christmas)

If you are looking to keep Americans employed by buying American products, unfortunately this product is made in China

solid construction

make it bigger

Super fun. Just shoot the 4 targets on the left and right and they stay hidden. Shoot center target and this resets the trap. You don't have to get up to reset it. The steel is very strong. The spent pellets collect inside and can be removed thru a hole.

Nothing.

no.

I like the heavy construction. The way it works and it is fun.

Nothing except it would be better if it was made in the "The good ol USA".

Nothing.

well made. works as advertised. i like how the shiny paddles are easy to see through a scope. good contrast to the background. seems to trap pellets well. not to loud either. it gives a cool feeling of satisfaction making them dissapear. the sound it makes as it knocks them away is one of authority! fun!

it would be even more fun if it was a bit bigger with maybe a few more paddless further apart from one another.

great little trap game. its a lot of fun to watch them dissapear when shot! nice change from the pull string ones. very challenging not to hit the reset by accident while going for the little ones. cool.

Very fun, worked as described

I would be willing to pay more for thicker gauged steel and the elimination of the plastic spacers

Air guns with that shoot around 1000 ft/sec will dent this up real fast at 10 yards, which can add to fun;)

Its easy. Set it down and shoot till your tired no resetting the target or going down to see if you hit the target. They are gone when you hit it. Then reset it by hitting the other target. Kids love it too. I got it for the friday night basement shooting. I use Gamo big cat, Daisy 120 and several chinese guns and no problems with it.

Nothing.

Like the other guy said get extra pellets! Youll need them.

this is defiantly a lazy mans target which i like the center target does what its spouse to do. I'm defiantly having a lot of fun with this trap.

i would change the plastic tubing that separates the locks on the targets. someone els mentioned that they deteriorate over time and he replaced it with brass tubing witch is a really good idea. I'm going to have to do so my self because i put about 500 rounds in and they are showing a little wear and tear.

I'm experiencing that the pellets stick to the targets and are hard to remove and putting oil on before shotting works really well.

Works as described and metal can withstand impact without cracking.

Paint does chip so I wouldn't leave it out in the elements.

The center reset is cool as well as its portability. The trap catches most of the pellets shot inside of it which is good.

I knew this trap would get banged up but after just a few shots with my Crosman 1377c, at 5 pumps, paint is chipping off in several spots. The metal itself has no problem handling the impact of light .177 lead pellets but I would worry about corrosion if you don't have paint handy to touch it up. They need to make this a bit sturdier, though I am sure that would affect cost and shipping, so it can the punishment of +750 fps.

I would much rather use this trap with an air rifle butt the suggested 750 fps rating is low... I would be afraid to use an air rifle with this from under 50 yards.
