N/A Shooting indoors

[Ricklin]

Use a bunch of these, apparently they can capture bullets.

Amazon.com

At 9 bucks each this quickly becomes a hundred dollar not very big bullet trap?? I think I'll stick with my plastic storage box. Best fun target going if you can make noise? Get the screw on plastic caps for soda bottles, inflate to 100 PSI they make a satisfying bang and easy clean up. Hint, fishing line and a nail drive the nail in the ground or you will lose the one dollar each reusable caps.

Thing that erk me is all that rubber mulch bits falling / poring out of the pellet holes .. .. I guess keep a shop vac handy ?

All these trap ideas will work. Take care that the gun will eject airborne lead particles so you’ll want to have a floor at/ahead of your shooting location that will clean up thoroughly.

Falling out? How big of pellets are you shooting? I never have that issue.

I guess that black mess under the trap in your picture is a figment of my imagination? ..lol. Ya dude been there .. so...

Try some scrap synthetic cheap carpeting for the target window. It holds up pretty well lots better than cardboard. I just use spray glue from the inside to hold it. Helps on the noise factor too.

There will always be a measure of mess with any target using a paper front. Safe and no mess would be using the duct seal clay type of targets and no paper front target. These catch the pellets and layer them as they smash into each other.

What a smart ass. Do you see any holes big enough for mulch to fall out?
That’s actually plastic from the container. Hazards of sighting a new gun. There is gray tape plugging the couple of holes from those random shots.
But you caught me! I didn’t clean up those few specks! Oops, I’ll get right on that.

I use a Super Target Systems 12" bullet trap with minimal lead dust & impact noise, for all pellets and .22 caliber rimfire. Made of very thick and heavy steel. It's a little pricey but so very quiet. I stuff a pair of old jeans behind the 1/2" thick rubber front insert, which is replaceable. The only noticeable noise is the impact on the paper target. You get some paper debris out front, but not much.
