Homemade pellet trap

I went to the local ironworks fabricator and bought a 24"x36" piece of 14 ga sheet metal. Had them make 3 bends on it...a 90° in the middle of the 36" length and a 45° 1 1/2" from each end. I cut some lumber making a frame for it and enclosed the sides with plywood.

Yeah! That is a nice one. Be a while before you wear it out

Can always add a little duct seal if it gets to noisy.

Nice RWS. Definitely beefy.

Nice! I took the cover off of an upright computer (saw the idea online) and made a larger metal trap. Have stuffed a blanket in it to take care of the "noise" issue for a while, and it tears up the blanket pretty well. Your design is much cleaner than mine.

We have printable targets?? I like the one on the right. I need to find that one wherever it is.

Do you get any lead popping out the front?
