duct seal again

[jdub]

I would go with 2" too. I shoot at 25 yards and sometimes the pellets go through the 1st block of duct seal using a .22 Trail. I found a broken safe and made a trap out of it with 2" of duct seal. Weighs a ton!

Nice!!

thanks guys for this thread. duct seal is AWESOME stuff. just picked some up at HomeDepot (2 bucks a stick). needed 5 of 'em. my trap enclosure is a cockpit display housing off of a Boeing 777. cut a piece of quarter inch press board and mounted the duct seal to it. the rear cover comes off for replacement/cleaning.

I shot from 5 pumps up to 10 pumps and the pellets didn't go in any more than 1/8 of an inch! put a nice handle on top, clip board holder for the targets and rubber pad for the feet and it's a great indoor "silent" trap.

I finally got to the home depot to pick up my duct seal. Walked in and right past the customer service counter where a nice customer oriented associate asked "can I help you find anything". I answered "no thanks" cause I was on a mission toward the electrical isle where right on the bottom shelf i was going to find the elusive duct seal. So .... a few minutes in the electrical isle and no bottom self duct seal. Back to the service desk I go and the nice polite fellow from earlier says he'll show me right where it's at but it's not in the electrical isle. I said, "no, my buddies said electrical. He said "let's prove them wrong and walked me to the heating/ac isle, pointing to some caulking stuff and said "here it is". My thought, "here we go again"    Then I remembered I put the sku# in my phone. Sure enough, it was in the electrical isle.

Moral of story: Listen to your airgun buddies, not the guy that works in the damn store! I finally got my duct seal

I made this one from a old drill box it's nice and portable. When i go to one of my buddys i bring it along so i have my own target to shoot at.

Thanks Mike! I got the idea from your Dewalt case trap!

All the guys with the recent builds...weigh it when you get a chance.  Then weight it in a few months.  Even with periodic cleaning, mine is so damn heavy now.  I swear there's an additional 10 lbs of lead buried in there.  Sure glad I put a handle on it.
