I was pretty shocked to see how small it was. I guess I didn't realize that the target was only 5.5in x 5.5in. But this thing is built tough! I used it to sight in the scope on my Crossman 800 fps pellet rifle and every shot at 25 yards was contained, although some fragments were in the cone behind the target. The targets fit perfectly and are stiff enough to remain flat. The included 100-pack was very generous. This is a great item to own for backyard shooting. I rated it down one star because I believe that it should have been bigger (8x8), and the description should have been clear that it was less than 6x6.

This is a very well designed and solidly built pellet trap. At 10 meters, it stops and collects the pellets from air pistols without scratches.
Pellets hitting the edge will bounce back, of course, but I don't think that is the fault of the product.
A pack of Gamo Paper Targets (100 pack) that comes with this trap fits well and can withstand 20-30 shots. Overall, the whole thing is great for air pistol target practice.

I've been using this trap for quite some time and find it to be very compact and handy for indoor range shooting. The metal is the heaviest guage with which I have personal experience in a commercial pellet trap; this is important due to the power of magnum air rifles that predominate in the US market and for shooting at close range (25 to 33 feet).
The trap is mounted to your solid backstop by hanging it on a single, sheet metal screw. It is, therefore, very essential that the screw be as tight to the backstop as possible because the impact of pellets can and will cause the trap to move and pivot your group to the left or right. I've considered modifying the keyhole to allow for a larger sheet metal screw, but have not done so as yet. A second keyhole would be better, but to add one after purchase would be beyond the average consumer. Another negative is that the pellets tend to collect toward the front of the trap behind the target instead of in the well that is at the rear of the trap; when you remove the target, the pellets fall out the front of the trap onto the floor. This is a little inconvenient but not much more than the bits of paper that pellets punch out of the targets especially with match (wadcutter) pellets -- they end up on the floor, too. This trap does not use ballistic putty so that's one less thing to mess around with.
All of the fired pellets do not remain in the trap, and at first this fact was disconcerting. While it's impossible for me to say why they get out, my experience shows about 10% do. They seem to either fly out the top of the well at the back of the trap or they fall out at the bottom front of the trap. There is a slot into which the target is inserted and held in place, but the slot doesn't extend the entire way across the bottom or sides so there is a gap between the target and the trap and the flattened pellets seem to slide out in that area. I have reduced the fliers by laying a rag over the hole at the top of the well. While I have used only match and pointed pellets in .177 caliber (4.5 mm), I definitely would NOT recommend the use of hunting or magnum pellets with this trap and DEFINITELY NOT BB's or round pellets.
The targets from Gamo are a perfect fit for this trap. Made of tagboard (a type of card stock), they are excellent for shooters who are interested in group size and accuracy. At distance, they are bright and easy to see with open sights, red dot or a riflescope.
All in all, this is a good value trap for the air rifle shooter especially with the most common .177 caliber (4.5 mm) pellets.
