    I found my duct-seal target works fine for capturing BBs as well as pellets. I have a couple of the "folded metal" targets (like the Beeman) that work OK, but are pretty noisy, and can cause richochets. At least with BBs, you can clean up strays with a magnet...

    Yeah, I took those right after the build...
    Maybe I should take more current pic, after a couple thousand rounds. I collect the used shot in a container-one day I'll make a shooting rest or something with them...

    No explanation necessary Scott, I figured as much! You know me any chance to tease.......

    Your traps look great. I am having the worst time trying to find any duct seal here in Guelph. And the store help are no help either, they keep wanting to send me to where they sell duct work when it should be in electrical! They give me a weird look when I tell them that! Oh well the search continues......

    Not here in Guelph for some reason! I'll keep trying but Home Depot here seems to not carry it?
