Gamo Cone Pellet Trap, Collapsible, 100 Paper Targets

Easy to put togethor, solid consruction(more on that later), easy to change paper targets. Easily attaches to post via a single 10 penny nail or other suitable hanger.

Maybe add a way to stake it directly on the ground so it doesn't spin a little on impact if not nailed to a post. A max fpe rating for the metal walls should be a convenience or qol type thing standard on all traps.

The wild paint chip fluttering away refract the sunlight like the wings of a bug should have been my first clue. This thing does not handle repeated blows to the same spot well as I discovered while sighting in my avenger with some heavier than advertised 13.43s, and as previously stated by many avengers tend to stack pellets with anything resembling a steady rest. Ended up with a pellet split in one side of the trap patched by the pellet thay made it. In short don't use this trap for anything that shoots fast, maybe just bbs only, or economy tuned pcps. Awesome little trap for the daisy eagle though.

Excellent value. I use for both BBs and pellets.

The design of the deflector inside the trap. Repeated strikes by pellets caused it to deform, subsequently ejecting pellets and BB's back through the target.

Like one of the other reviewers, I had a problem with the deflector getting bent. I've had pellets and BBs exit the trap through the target . . and hit me! I solved the problem by putting some crumpled, heavy brown paper (like that from a grocery bag . . . or the packing that comes in the boxes from PyramydAir) inside the cone. I no longer get ricochets and find I just have to replace the crumple about every 75 rounds. Also, be careful where you are mounting this; if the wall behind the target is hard, your projectiles may still come back (especially the steel BBs).

The targets are nice.

Attach the side plates that hold the front to the back with screws instead of the weak welds that they use, one side of mine arrived already detached, due to a shoddy weld and made the whole thing unusable. Also, it needs a sturdier back plate that the pellets hit.

As mentioned before, mine arrived broken, I did prop it up and took one shot into it to see how loud it would be, it wasn't bad, but that one shot (.177 with a 7.0 grain pellet at 550fps) hit the back a little to the side and visibly dented it. Even if it was in perfect condition, I doubt that it would last very long. I deemed it unsafe for further use. Thank You Pyramid Air for my prompt refund. Also, I wouldn't call this collapsible in a practical sense. as it takes several minutes to put it all together. If they would beef up the weak points that myself and other reviews have mention and maybe charge a little more, they would have a winner, as it is now, I wouldn't recommend it.
