    DIY duct seal pellet trap

    really cool!... already ordered the golf tees... getting me a case of paintballs next and gonna borrow my daughter hot glue gun too :-) I have to say I enjoy a plinking match with my son as much or more than trying to get perfect grouping with pellet X at N yards... so cool to get new fun ideas...

    Wow Bigragu, those are serious duty versions :-) Love the magnets trick to hold the target board. What caliber made the dents on the step ladder? that seems like hitting hard... Also going to get me a set of golf tees as this is a cheap plinking target option too. thanks for sharing

    What do you focus on when making your shot

    I am a novice... reading all this is really cool... I understand about 5% of it... I'll experiment with bits and pieces and read it again in a few weeks hoping it will make a lot more sense then :-)

    DIY duct seal pellet trap

    good point Chris... I guess the day I get out of the hobby I will have to throw in a free "silent duct seal pellet trap" for whoever will buy my gear :-) I like your idea of the steel plate noise insulated. Do post images if you have a chance. That can show others how much insulation is needed...

    DIY duct seal pellet trap

    nice Peskadot...! lots of ingeniosity there as well... and camo paint job takes the cake! Glad to hear it can last 10yrs. thanks for sharing your images too - love the simplicity of using the straight angles... makes the sliding "grooves" and protects the edges all at once - nice one

    DIY duct seal pellet trap

    Hi Intenseaty22, I had seen the thread but not watched the video yet... I get it... What I really like about your rubber mulch pellet trap is how simple the build is... someone who does not have a jig saw can probably even get away with cutting the lid with a utility knife. I think I responded...

    DIY duct seal pellet trap

    I looked at rubber mulch but was not sure how to keep it in place with the vertical nature of the trap.

    DIY duct seal pellet trap

    I know this "duct seal" trap idea is not new and many have done it already. Just wanted to post pictures of the one I made as it may inspire others since it is very simple, and only requires a table saw (or a circular saw if you are good with it)... No need for a router or a mitter saw like...

    Quiet pellet traps

    So I did not have enough old jeans and clothes around to try the folded clothes trap, which we know works already.... but I had an old area rug... I cut it in four 15" or so wide strips which I folded around (4 folds each strip) and stacked on top of each other in the box... that is 16 layers of...

    Quiet pellet traps

    Just a thought... Has anyone tried several layers of cut old carpet rectangles stacked in the box behind the rubber mulch or folded clothes?? Wonder if that would help any or be noisier or else?
