Crosman 0853 Collapsible Pellet Target Trap,Black | Collapsible Trap Design - Pellet Target Trap - Black Finish

When I was a kid, I had the luxury of going out to neighboring farmland to practice target shooting with my grandfathers air rifle. As an adult, I live in a populated residential area close to a busy street, so plinking out in the yard with an air rifle is a little frowned upon. However, I still have my grandfather's Crosman air rifle and want to pass on the joy and safety of shooting and a respect for guns to my children. My 10 year old son has been dying to learn how to shoot, so I turned to Amazon to find a safe solution for shooting a pellet gun in our unfinished basement. This Crosman collapsible pellet trap seemed to have really good reviews, so I took a shot (pun intended) and bought it for him as a Christmas present. We assembled it in about 10 minutes and set it up about 25ft away in our basement and started plinking away. We give the old Crosman about three pumps and use .177 wadcutter pellets and this thing works like a charm. The assortment of targets that it comes with is great; my son likes the zombie targets in particular. We've put a hundred pellets or so into it so far and it's holding up great. The curtains perform their intended function of stopping the pellets. It's not intended for use with bb's and I probably would not use pointed pellets with it either (at least indoors). I ensure that my son wears eye protection, and we put a bunch of big pillows around the target in the event of a stray pellet. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for target practice indoors or out.

All though it says "on the box" not to be used with BBs it works great with them. The curtains act as a buffer between the metal back plate the cardboard. If you do not use the curtains I would not shot BBs at it. The cardboard which will need to be replaced after a lot of use may not stop BBs from coming back out. The whole purpose I can see for the cardboard is it acts as the BB/pellet trap part of the system other than that it is just a more solid backing to the targets. If you do hit the top and bottom edges they will break as mine after two uses have chunks taken out and what ever you are shooting, BBs or pellets may ricochet back. My biggest issue is in the target attachment pins. They are plastic and I have already shattered one and you only get 4. I'm sure they are easily replace but I just used something I found lying around and it works fine. I give 4 stars due to the fact you only get 4 pins and they will shatter if hit. Other than that it is an awesome indoor shooting trap for the price I paid, get it. And it appears targets are easily available when you run out and if you use the cardboard you can use the adhesive type as well.

This is good for accuracy shooting (paper targets). It stops all of my BB guns and 22 pellet just fine. The sound is dampened with the fabric curtains. The curtains and cardboard need replacement eventually, but that's easy with a cereal box cut to size or a sleeve off an old tee shirt or whatever for the curtains. The only knock on this is that the edges are plastic and will get torn up from errant shots (might need duct tape fixes after awhilie), but the backstop wall is a thick-ish metal plate that does the job for the caliburs and fps it says it will stop. You can get cheaper pellet traps that are good for the swinging metal targets, but this is a real good one for accuracy shooting, paper targets, sighting in new sights or guns, etc.

Minimally acceptable at best. One step above "Junk/I'm sending it back." Problems: Assembling it was challenging, the printed instructions are nearly useless, and the promised instructional video on the Crosman website is nowhere to be found. The paper targets bunch up when fitted to the box with the push pins. The push pins fit very loosely and fall out very easily anytime the box is picked up or moved. I'm using tape around the push pins to have them fit more snugly and I'm also taping the target to the box at the top. DIY. BTW, they provide multiple paper targets but only one cardboard backing. A few extra cardboard ones would have been nice. On the plus side, it does trap Airsoft pellets. Also, it was inexpensive.

The fact that this trap collapses down to a nice compact size, that the targers mount very easy to it , and traps the BB's well, is why i gave it 5 stars. All the other models i have seen similar to this one have been rigid in its sides and not collapssible when finished with them. The instructions could be made a little bit more informative and simpler concerning the stop cloth inside the trap and the positioning of the stop cloths when inserting into the top of the trap. Other than that , this is a great little trap for the weekend target shooter of pellets and BB's. I also liked that is came with samples of various targets to use with the trap.

Good little pellet trap for shooting practice in my basement. Easy to assemble. Fabric for helping slow down the pellets is a bit flimsy and will need to be replaced every so often, but overall, a decent pellet trap.

Crossman Collapsible Pellet Trap - A handy, reasonably well made indoor pellet gun range system. The durability of the folding design seems questionable at first but works very well. The pellet deceleration curtains inside the hood can be augmented with common household material such as thick catalogs or smaller phone books (who uses those things anymore?). I've fashioned and/or adapted aftermarket bull's-eye paper targets for use with this trap and so far have been satisfied with it's utility and durability. Of course, one must use caution and avoid use of magnum velocity air guns or steel pellets with this trap at close indoor distances for fear of over penetration and ricochet. I recommend this item for the indoor low-velocity pellet gun enthusiast.

A bit tricky to assemble but got there in the end - I found the quality to be excellent and, although early days yet, would expect it to be long lasting. Delivery was well on time, well packaged, and overall I was happy all round. Cheers amazon.

Works very well indoors with lead pellets or lead BBs. I liked the first one so much I bought a second one.

No es mal producto. Trae una placa de metal en la parte posterior para detener los diabolos y una malla que sirve para lo mismo pero que sólo detiene a diábolos ligeros. Le tiro con un rifle gamo swarm .22 que alcanza como 850 fps. A ésa velocidad casi todos los diablos se impactan con la placa de metal. Hay que tirarle con municion de plomo (nada de gamo rocket, gamo lethal, Crossman red flight, etc.) porque si no la placa terminará por ser perforada; aún así despues de algunas decenas de tiros la placa se dobla y hay que enderezarla pero no es problema además de que no se supone que sea para rifles de ésa velocidad.

Très bien pour notre utilisation avec des balles bb mais sans mettre le carton( ils rebondissent un peu mais de loin tout va bien et avec des lunettes pour être sûr . Il manquait 2 petites visses de plastiques mais ils fait parfaitement là job. Très facile de le ranger. Les services à la clientèle est vraiment très rapide .

Funciona muy bien incluso con rifles de 900 fps, la lamina de metal los detiene muy bien, trae una malla de nylon para amortiguación, aguanta como 20 disparos antes de salirse de su lugar.
