First attempt making a pellet trap......
« on: March 05, 2009, 09:09:08 AM »
Well, I decided I better get this made before the snow melts. I planned on hand cutting dovetails to put her together, lol, but that didn't work out to well. I've cut a lot of dovetails, but not in 1-1/2" PT.  :0   Now I just gotta wait for the silly putty to arrive & I'll be all set !!!  :emoticon:

That's the sort of high quality/well-finished shadow box that ought to look really nice as a living room wall hanging... maybe 20 feet from the dining room table?

I noticed you put a piece of cloth or tissue in the barrel of the CFX.
Did you do that to keep the dust out while you were cutting wood or does it have the sniffles?

Very nice box...I need to get one of those so I don't have to keep changing targets in my little one.

Mine is similar. I used the dimensions from the Archer Airgun site. i used about 10 bricks of duct seal.I just put it in 2 bricks thick. At 20 yard my .22 cal RS2 penetrates about an inch and I have never had a pellet get to the back of the trap. I just pick out the pellets after awhile and replace that area with new duct seal. If you use a clip board with the center cut out of it  you can make several target holders.
