I Had To Make a New Target Holder (Pellet Trap)

[FrankinFairfield]

The other one was filled up and the pellets were bouncing off.

I made the new one with a trough so that the pellets that don’t go into the duct seal and fall out,

will not fall on the ground.

BTW...In case you shooters use duct seal for you pellet traps, Home Depot has them in five pound increments along with the one pounders.

Looks nice......It'll do the job and it's a great color !

Do you take the pellets out of the duct seal or do you just discard it all? I am using a USPS flat rate box that holds about six inches worth of old magazines. After I have created a fairly large crater I pick out the pellets and dump them in the bullet casting box. That way they are used twice.

“Picking” pellets out of duct seal is something I would wish on anyone.

When I used rubber mulch in a cardboard box, I did what you suggest.

I dumped the mulch and pellets into my 50 gallon shop-vac and filled it with water.

The rubber floated to the top and the lead didn’t..

Original! I also really like designing and manufacturing. However, in my country, a small company located right next to my house produces very good universal (suitable for 4.5 and airsoft BB, lead pellets) traps. Sure, I bought one of them and I’m glad. True, it is not designed for outdoor conditions. I love my purchase so much that I want to support the manufacturer by sharing their website link: www.bbpellettrap.com

Weird, my mulch does not float.

Never have seen a tire floating but have seen a good number of them at sitting on the lake bottom when I go diving.

Rubber mulch floats.

Galvanized rubber does not!

 

[Mike_Lenardon]

Galvanized?, maybe you mean vulcanized. The rubber mulch I bought at home depot is old car tires. It does not float. Would have been nice if it did. It was such a pita to clean i discarded the trap.

I am not traveling as much these days and over the years accumulated a lot of luggage, some hard case good stuff. Before tossing or passing on to yard sales might try to modify one for target use....re-forced target area, fold down for carry etc. No plans to check on airline.

Thay makes sense. I was wondering how to reuse the mulch when the container is toast.
