Good quality and was super easy to assemble. Curtains reduce pellet impacts really well. Not sure how long the curtains will last though. Overall size is perfect for my needs as I usually just paste on an 8" target.

There are 4 plastic buttons that hold the cardboard in place. If you accidentally hit the buttons, there goes your mounting system. The cardboard is very thin and will not last very long. I had to cut up a bunch of cardboard replacements (should be sold seperately).

Careful you don't damage the mouting buttons and be prepared to make replacement cardboard plates.

Perfect for indoor shooting. I added some putty by Air Venturi on the back plate and bottom so it catches bb's and pellets..definitely recommend this to be able to shoot both bb's and pellets without the fear of richochets.

Maybe supply some more cardboard backing, it gets eaten up pretty quick

Get some putty and apply to the back plate and bottom to catch bb's and pellets. Add some paper targets to your cart

This is a good pellet trap for .177caliber CO2 pellet pistols at 30ft. at 400fps velocity. It worked fine for my Crosman Vigilante CO2 pellet revolver (400fps velocity) and my Crosman 2240 in .22caliber(400fps). I purchased a new one for my Benjamin 392s pump up rifle (14grain .22caliber lead pellets at 600fps) shooting at 50ft. It started to fall apart when I didn't keep my groups in the center of the target. The pellets started going through the plastic bottom and sides. My friend owns a Gamo Swarm Fusion, break barrel, gas piston (14 grain .22 caliber lead pellet at 800fps. He put fifty rounds into the trap target shooting at fifty feet and the metal backing plate was visibly bent from shooting his Gamo at it.

It is a bit of a toy! Make the whole trap out of thicker metal, line it with duct putty! Do something to reinforce it, and make it safer for shooting adult air guns.

Don't shoot BB's at this trap, they will ricochet and damage walls and windows.
If you plant to shoot mostly high power pellet guns, spend more money ($50) and buy a trap rated for .22cal rimfire. I purchased a HighWild solid steel trap rated for .22cal rimfire, and have no complaints!

Cheap price. Does what it says. Captures all the lead pellets so they don't accumulate on my premises. Super easy to carry about and deploy. For the cost, I'm quite happy.

Curtains come undone and get tangled up with as few as 50 rounds. Face plate was toast after one session. Just a giant hole with edges remaining after about 75 rounds. I know, I know ... shoot tighter groups. Replacements for those pieces please? I suppose I could make up my own cardboard face plate. Not sure about a Kevlar curtain...

It may be more work than you want to do, but this trap contains all the expended pellets and allows proper recycling. I blow the paper confetti away, and save the expended rounds in an old pellet tin for recycling at a local facility. I feel it is our job to maintain a lead free environment and this trap helps me accomplish that. Go in peace!

I use 1680 denier ballistic nylon hung in 2@ 2-ply sections. No sewing. I cut 2 lengths, hung them on the existing "curtain rod", one front, one back, duct taped them in place, plugged in the retainer bar and viola! Brand new and far better curtain! The original red curtain was toast after 200 rounds from my 2240. I've now shot about 600 domed lead free rounds with only very very slight signs of wear. The pellets are stopped unscathed and not a single one makes it to the steel back plate. Works for me!

Nice little trap for indoor (garage, basement) use when you can't get outside.

Beef up the curtains inside to handle more types of projectiles. Offer replacement curtains.

You still have to be careful of what you set the trap upon, and the surrounding area for misses and mistakes

straight from the product info: Max velocities: .177 caliber/800 fps, .20 caliber/650 fps, .22 caliber/750 fps. Not the trap's fault it failed.

I have a HW85 .177 cal shooting at 835fps with JSB 10.34g that 16FPE. I set it at 45yrd after 100 shoot at the trap it took a beating so push out to 65yrd and shoot over 5000 the trap is RIP. Put your $25-$30 towards a heavy-duty metal trap 20lb.

I like it. I have the non-collapsible trap but wanted to check this one out. The body of the trap folds back down on itself after taking the steel back plate, front target and curtains out. This makes it able to tuck back into the box about 12" x 12" x 3". Much easier to store than the rigid one.

I would like to see one that stores in on itself with less removing of parts. I would also like to see the trap able to handle faster rounds, a slightly heavier piece of steel might do the trick. It is maxed out at 800fps for a .177. So I can't use my Gamo Whisper .22 with it.

This is great if you don't have space for a permanent range set up and need to store or pack the target with you. I tuck this into a small back pack with a Crosman 1322, targets, ammo and safety glasses for when my trigger finger gets itchy and I can't get to the range.
