Page 3 of 10 - Gamo Cone Pellet Trap, Collapsible Reviews

Excellent product at a reasonable price. Lead BBs at 520 fps do fine with this, even though some manage to deflect outward they only make it to an inch or two the front of the trap and the new frangible BBs become dust.

I had one similar as a kid (in the 60s) but didn't have soft BBs and it was dangerous, BUT with newer frangible and/or coated lead BBs this would have been what it is now, near perfect. Put something around it like plywood and it is perfect. In the house I surrounded it with old magazines and at one point paper towel rolls on each side and behind.

Works good.

Nothing

Smaller than you would think but for ten meters you shouldnt miss...

COMPACT,EASY TO PUT TOGETHER,EASY TO USE

Nothing

Sturdy, comes with wrench, & 100 targets! Can hang on wall.

Somewhat small, beware fliers.

I don't like noise, so I stuffed it with steel wool, or plumbers putty.

Well made, goes together easily, comes w/ wrench. Can hang on wall, traps pellets well, paper targets slide in.

Just a bit small, beware of fliers!

I don't. Like noise, so packed it with steel wool or plumbers putty.

Easy to assemble - yes, you have to assemble it - i did it in 5 minutes. Compact, apprx 5" x 5" frontal area (targets are 5" x 5"), 7" front to back.

Sturdier material - it's made of a relatively light gauge steel, pellets from a powerful gun, say 7 - 800 fps or better, are going to dent it like crazy, if you are close at all. Better quality control: once the sides were assembled, they did not want to slide into the base unit - got about half-way and stuck, had to use physical persuasion and a rubber mallet to finish the job. And, you want it to be all the way into the base as the deflector is not lined up correctly, else. I agree with another reviewer, it would be nice 'twere larger. Also be nice if they'd designed the thing to fit over the end of a standard piece of dimensional lumber, 2x2, 2x4, etc.

It comes in 5 pieces (sides, top, bottom, and base + 8 acorn nuts). Assembly is straightforward, just be sure to put the 'top' on top, otherwise your targets will not slide in, and the cone will not slide into the base.

As to stuffing rags, etc., behind the deflector, after reading B.B. Pelletier's "Worlds Best Pellet Trap", i use rubber mulch both behind the deflector and behind the target (had to add an extra layer of cardboard behind the target to prevent the mulch from 'leaking' out, tho'. Added benefit: Lower noise!
