Lots of good information! I've found that squirrels make excellent pellet traps for my .22 Predators.  Assuming I may hit them as badly as I shake now.  Assuming I may see them as badly as the eyesight is getting now.

May have to set the camo tent up in the kitchen, with the dining room bay windows descreened and opened.   BTW, time to see if the armadillo is tearing-up the yard for grubs-n-stuff right now.  Can't shoot it, but I bet I could catch him in stealth-mode, with a big, tough fish net, if I catch him when he jumps.

Thanks for this post. I just bought the bullet trap and because of this post, I watched the Youtube video and saw that I had assembled my Bullet Box wrong. The printed instructions were terrible. The video was of poor quality but good enough for me to see my mistakes. I never looked at the DVD which came with the Bullet Box, just thinking it was on their products. The DVD had the same Youtube video but of a much better quality, so it's put together right now.
The Bullet Box it a great add on to the backyard shooter. Much safer than the Gamo Pellet trap. I spent good money on Gamo targets to fit their pellet trap, now all I have to do is get on line and down load all kinds of targets and a regular sheet of printing paper is all I need to have a great afternoon.
The Bullet Box will take a beating and all of the lead is trapped at the botton so all you have to do it empty it out into a old coffee can to get rid of the waste.

Regards to all,

Glad to hear that these posts helped.  We all are in the same boat, but just sharing some information that can help out someone with a common interest is a "Good Thing"... Yikes that woman drives me nuts.

There's some great stuff on this forum regarding the Whisper and other of their products. I'm still using the Gamo pellet box but will probably get the bigger one later on.

Have a nice day.

I've had the Bullet Box for a few months now, using it in my basement, and this thing is built like a tank. One of the great things about this trap is that I can use printed targets that I've downloaded off the net & do not have to buy specific targets to use with it. I punch paper at  15 yds with a Gamo Whisper & Viper. The only signs of use is that the paint gets chipped off where the pellets hit it. The pellets do flatten out & sometimes little splinters of the pellet will try to fly out but the paper target will stop it most of the time. I am sure that if I would put something on the surface, it would take care of that problem.
