I own also the black model pellet catcher as shown and the pellets went straight through after about 50 shots. The small metal plate with the angle at the end that force the pellet down i'm shooting straigt with the first shot using my HW80. One shot on the rim on the edge and you have to bend out the rim again to get your card to fit in again. I always recommend to buy .22lr rated targets and catchers if you own powerfull airguns, they are more expensive but at the end it will save you money and are much safer. The catchers you show are for low power airguns like a HW30 and 10 meter match rifles. Cheers!
Thanks. I've noticed that some of the spot welds on mine are starting to come apart due to pellet hits. I will be replacing them with something more substantial very soon.
box rocks mate i have also tried all 3 and come to the same conclusion. the other one i have used is an old large baking try with some lead flashing you can buy a roll sink the baking tray in a bit of ply wood or mdf stick the lead in with some double sided carpet tape . quite a bulky affair but does a great job of catching the pellets and does bring that clang noise down for sure plus the wood back stop you can make as big as you like . also it’s pretty flat so can go slid in behind stuff for storage. not to cheap to make but won’t break the bank
BluTack is a good trap liner, as is lead flashing if you can get some for cheap. For a back-stop I repurposed the drum out of an old tumble dryer, which I filled with kibbled waste tyre mulch. It does weigh a ton (it has fifty kilos of mulch in it for a start) but rolls easily enough and is completely silent. I just tape a new sheet of cardboard over the front every few weeks, it'll outlast me.
Cool test. I just shoot into good old large sand bags. Stops the bullet, pellet or slug and is not loud. Other than that I would do the cloth and rag stuffed box for a target backstop.
@@hftshooter these are the two stops I use but it is kinda hard to shoot a seventy foot pounds of energy air rifle and keep things quiet from the impact side. My rifle is very quiet but still get a little thwap of it hitting the target bag or box. I wonder if filling up your metal target traps with ballistics jell would silence the hit?? I mean mix up a bunch and pour it into your funnel shaped traps so it takes the same shape as it cures/goes solid sort of. Just an idea for you. Might make a cool continuation video.
70 ft/lb! 😲 Yeah, bound to make a little impact noise. 😂 Nice idea, but I don't think ballistic gel would last more than one use. I guess a complete fill with the plumber's putty would do the same. 😄
Got quite a few of those pellet catchers attached to a 2 mtr round table top ( hardwood and inch and an half thick ) in the center a steel plate with wooden blocks top & bottom to pin A4 printed targets on .. plus loads of spinners and a re-set box @ 30mtrs .. its on stilts ( 3" x 3" ) .. great setup ... super for practice when I can't get to the range .. neighbors dont seem to mind the clatter or the noise of the guns .. that said , generally I only do it for an hour at a time .. or more if immediate neighbor is out ..
I'd be interested to know what you saw in the video to prompt that question? Actually, I have been learning Yang Family Tai Chi, which is technically a martial art.
Great Stuff, is your name Jeff.. sorry if im wrong.. great video.. 🤘👍👌 yeh I get old T-shirts.. stuff em down the well of the Target box.. and then just slide the target up..and away onto my kitchen shovel.. carboard box is the best me thinks really.. nice one.. then chuck it the bin when demolished 😂😂 👌👍🤘Gun Porn love it ❤❤❤😂😂
