DIY Pellet Trap - Photos

The quietest pellet trap I’ve tried and still using is a box of tightly packed old clothe, a soft thud is all I hear. I also back it with duct seal in case the old clothe doesn’t stop the higher power shots. Once there is enough pellets lodged the old clothe the less chance of reaching the duct seal because the pellets will fragment the incoming pellets.

I’ve found more ways of stopping pellets that are cheaper than building a plywood pellet trap. If you fill a large size Cheerios box with magazines— stuff them in tight, the extra large Cheerios box fits them very well — and zap you have a pellet stop. I’ve shot a .22 Benjamin Marauder, fully charged at 200 bar, at the box from point blank range, 2 feet, and no pellet penetration. I’ve also found a way to use a ream of cheap copy paper. Pictures and comments soon.

How loud is it when the pellet hits?
