My son received a crossman 760 for his birthday. I've been shooting the odd phone book in the back yard for years (shhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell the city).
Anyway I wanted a pellet trap for the lad. We went to a local establishment and they only had ones good enough for 22 cal rifle.
Necessity being the mother of invention, I said to myself, self, I have a piece of 14 gauge sheet metal, and some T1-11 plywood siding. Some more scrap wood and viola' a pellet trap of sorts. Used some heavy black paper clips to hold the target.
I checked it w/my 22 cal barrel cocker which is way more powerful than his 760 and it left a small dent in the sheet metal. Even at 10 pumps the ,177 pellets only leave a smear on the sheet metal.
The legs fold up so we can stack it against the wall.
Kid is happy as a clam.
