Is this trap suitable for shooting at a distance of 25 feet? My room is roughly 30 feet long and I was hoping to shoot within 25 feet of the target.

Kind of a relative question, isn't it? It's a pellet trap. It's made to be shot at with a pellet gun. If you are concern with power of gun then err on the side of caution and get a trap for a .22. I use a 1200 Fps rifle without issue in my backyard, but at a range of 40-60 feet.

Yes you can as long as you are shooting an air gun that is no more than 425fps. Even at that speed the curtain inside is going to get torn up.

Yes, I shoot at a distance less than that and the target trap works perfectly.

Very easy to site in. Put on my shotgun, used a bore sighter, and zeroed in at about 30 feet (maximum range and that would be a BIG room).I have not shot it since installing it, but I know it is NOT coming off, can let you know after I put 20 or so rounds thru it.

I found the gun to be very accurate at about 23'. However the fixed sights were terrible. In my case, it caused the gun to shoot >6" low at the 23'.I added a red dot sight, and quarter size groups are now typical through 2 1/2 clips (~40 shots). I am shooting RWS Superdomes (preferred) and RWS Diablo Basic.

We've gotten is to shoot well over 25 feet with the included wooden balls. It's actually really impressive how far it shoots. You do have to get some pretty decent tension on the strings to get that kind of distance, if the uprights aren't flexing inwards when you pull back the arm, then it's not tight enough.

Good shooter in basement at 7 yards. May have a useful range of 10 or so but can't comment on theultimate distance a pellet might travel, if that is your issue.

I was able to shoot the ammo about 25 yards but for accuracy, I would try for more than 10 yards!this is a nice slingshot

I read that other reviewers said it could be placed 30 to 40 feet away. I have not tried that yet.

i have shots as clsoe as 3 or 4 feet. The problem is the distant shots. it's difficult to spot and evaluate deer size targets at much past 50 yards.

No it will not work for 30 feet away you would need a 100 feet one to do the trick.

It would depend on the caliber you are shooting. I personally would not shoot my high power rifles at this target from close range. If you are going to use a .22 for plinking I would shoot it at 49-50 yards. Also bullet type, if you are using a cast lead bullet you can set the target closer. Also not target placement, I use their hangers, it puts the target (dinger) at a angle so most if not all fragments are forced downward and not upwards.

Reply to e-mail: It will work with the .222 Rem. just expect the accuracy to be off at least 10%. Your bullet's are averaging around 3000fps + - and the .223 3240 fps. When you zero, you might do it at 1-2 inches high. Your 22-250 is probably coming out about 3600 fps so you maybe an inch low at 100 yards will still put you pretty close to on target after 200 yards. I used to live in Maine and I don't recall may areas where a person can take a 400 yard shot. I hope this info helps you out?

As far as trapping he pellet, yes. I have gone online and inquired about this product and I found a interesting information about lead particles and dust. One article in particular (don't remember the http) wrote about lead splash back through the paper target and I found this in paper targets when I shot .22 subsonic at a distance of 60 ft. in effect lead dust. DO NOT SHOOT INDOORS unless you have at least this distance and excellent ventilation !

If your budget is tight and it's all you can spend, then yes. It also depends on your use for it. It is accurate with .25 bb's at about 100 ft for human sized objects. for smaller objects, around 50 ft. if you can spend 20-30 more dollars on a better gun, then i recommend doing so.

I mounted this on a shotgun that is for home security, therefore accuracy at more than 25 feet or so isn't needed. It can be adjusted so depending on your application, it may need to be adjusted for height or windage.

I believe the "recommended" distance for .22LR is the standard indoor target range distance of 50 feet. I use it regularly at that distance, but have also shot special frangible 9mm pistol ammo at much closer range with no problems.

Hello, The fps would have to be pretty fast and you would have to hit the sweet spot to make them spin all the way around. I had used a benjamin rifle pumped up about five times and I would have to get within 20 ft for it to work and then I would have to hit the sweet spot. I also used my cross man air pump target pistol and I think the pellet just doesn't have the weight behind it to push the targets around. But you never know maybe your air gun will tear this target a new one. I think it is mainly for .22 cal pistols and up. Happy Shooting!!

Yes, but it will be tight. I have mine in a 13 x 17 room. If it's centered in the room, side shots will be fine but end shots might require a "trouble shooter" cue stick. I got a 3 footer that works pretty well.
