    Pellet catch, holding up to .22 around 600 fps

    Picked this up about a year ago.
    Was using to test different pellets for my Crosman 362 100yr.
    This is the slightly larger 6.7" model.
    Once I got the scope sighted starting making my own targets to keep shots from hitting center.
    Does have a small deflector in the center but figure over time it will just bend and destroy it.
    Keyhole makes mounting simple and easy to move to other locations.
    Have not seen any metal deformation on outside, only using .22 @ 600fps






    For my Crosman the JSB Exact Jumbo Express Diabolo 0.930g have been the best at 25yds.
    H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme 1.20g a close second.
    Still many others to try.

    3" reactive targets.
    Printed with reactive bulls eye from left over repair stickers.





    My gopher eradicator.
    Crosman has been sold and production is going overseas.
    Was able to find it on sale but still more than I wanted to spend.
    Made in the USA did it for me.

    I dont have a photo of my pellet trap. I made mine with full intent of having it be quiet. I have used the steel pellet traps and the CLANG from the impact is louder than the pellet gun. I am shooting a suppressed benjamin marauder .22, which is darn quiet.

    I started with a cardboard box, cut some foam pieces to size. Inserted some 1/2 plywood as a backer, then I bought a couple pounds of those clay block material and stuck it to front of plywood - i think its called duct sealer, used by HVAC on ducting, although I have never seen it used that way - then put foam over the front. Paper targets attach via bent up metal coathanger. The clay takes the brunt of the hit, the foam dampens the thud from the plywood.

    Its totally quiet, less noise even than a pellet striking the dirt hill behind the target.
