Page 4 of 10 - Gamo Cone Pellet Trap, Collapsible Reviews

Target slides right in from top, 100 good viewable (from a distance )target centers, And it captures the lead.

Make the back flap that stops the pellet heavy duty so it does not bend so easy

Stuff with foam or just rags to protect the rear stop piece from bending. (you can this thing last alot longer at close range) Use these at 25 and 50 yards with HW 95s 177 and 22 no problem if they are full of foam. Last 10,000 shots or so. 1,000 without.

Easy to setup I use it on several air rifle

None

Just Read instructions don't use a rifle that shoots at 1200 and get to close

love how they come with extra targets and its awesome how durable it is for its size and price

I WOULD ENJOY THE PRODUCT MORE IF IT WAS A LITTLE LARGER

you can not go wrong with purchasing this item

small & easy to carry around or store

nothing

I own two. They do what they're supposed to with no problems. The first one shows no corrosion after 11 months of sitting outside in all weather. The low power airguns I use cause no damage. The only way I can imagine these failing would be if the screws rust, which I'm sure could be mended with loctite or whatever glue you like. For me what elevates this from "nothing special" to "pretty cool" is the easy assembly with the included tool, the surprising weather resistance, and the good quality of the targets.

My opinion is that any and all airguns powerful enough for ethical hunting are too powerful for these. If that's what you've got then you need to buy something sturdier. These do have a noisy "ping" when shot, so if I were to put one in the basement I would try to dampen it somehow.

Price and the extra 100 targets. Easy to assemble.

It could be a little heavier steel.

I have about 700 rounds with a 750 fps gun, the target and the steel is starting to show some heavy
damage. The center back has almost blown a hole through the thin steel. The little channels that hold the target
have bent making it difficult to slide the targets in. A flat screw driver can be used the pry the channels open
again. I feel that this target would be great for someone with a gun putting out less than 500 fps.

Nice compact unit, perfect fit with target, easy to attach to backstop with bolt and wing nut. No sign of damage from the pellets to date. (My pellet velocity range is about 500 ft per sec).

Sometimes the projectile fragments pop out from the front (by the target) or the top ( I mean the chimney type part on the back). Need to do something to contain the fragments.

I solved the problem by stuffing a plastic grocery bag into the trap behind the target. The pellets get tangled in the plastic, don't fragment as much (sometimes not at all) and stay put in the trap. Separating the lead from the plastic at the end of the session is no problem.

cheap

heavier metal!!!

not so durable, i shoot a big cat 1250 1.77 at it around 15 yards away, and only about 300 rounds so far, pellets went through the rear metal part and appearently the hole is getting larger.

Small, cheap (I mean inexpensive!), light, easy to (make, cut, create, you choose) targets for. My second pellet trap is 9 years old (many pellets thru it). Very reliable.

For the price, nothing. Maybe increase the heaviness of the gauge of the deflector.

There is a hole in the trap to hang it on the wall. It needs anchoring. My .25 calibre Kodiak SCOOTS IT BACK about an INCH every shot. Yes, the trap actually moves if you do not anchor it or hang it on the wall. The trap was designed for the slower target velocities. This is my second unit, as I had beat the first one to pieces, using the Kodiak. If you shoot a hunting rifle (high velocity and/or large calibre), consider the Champion Target Trap (Item Code: CH-40801 [Champion Heavy Duty Metal Trap...]).

traps pellets well

make sure it is advertised as a 6X6 inch trap.
