| I have a Gamo Cone Pellet Trap that when the pellet goes through the target it hits a slanted wall that is supposed to send it into a trap in the box that holds the used pellet. Now it works great out doors as the few pieces that do bounce out just fall on the ground. However if I were to try and use it indoors then I would have a hard time finding the little pieces so my wife and I would not step on them. Can anyone make a suggestion how something could be added to the Gamo Cone Pellet Trap to eliminate the pieces from bouncing out? I could make a new box and using duct seal but would like to use the Gamo Cone Pellet Trap I got. |

why not just get a 1lb. block of duct seal for a couple bucks and shape it into the rear wall of the gamo. i have the same gamo and im sure nothing will escape the putty. its great stuff! im getting my first experience with it now and i love the stuff. it will also make it silent. great for the wife. well worth the effort i think. good luck. walt.  |

| Tape a cardboard cover over the opening- yes, the center of your target will create a hole, but the 'bounceback' is likely not coming straight out the middle anyways. You would likely have to replace every so often, as eventually I think even the bounceback pellets would find their way out through the cardboard. |

Bigger gun... The little flap that deflects the pellet shards down into the trap gets bent upwards from being shot. Thus the only way for the pellets to go is down because it is blocking the path out.
Phonebooks... |

Phonebooks are great. Also I like to use cheap woven doormats....fold it a couple times and you could drive a nail through it. |

I can drive a nail through tissue paper.
Now you should try nailing Jello to the wall. Post pics if you get it. |
