APOLLO 17cm Reinforced Pellet Trap/Target Holder

Rating is 5.0 out of five stars based on 1 review
£24.00Price

Not all pellet traps are created equal. Many of the cheaper options on the market are made from thin sheet steel that quickly dents, deforms or fails after prolonged use. The APOLLO 17cm Reinforced Pellet Trap is designed to offer a more durable solution for shooters who spend serious time on the range.

 

Constructed from approximately 2mm thick steel, this trap is built to withstand repeated use from sub-16 Joule air rifles and air pistols while offering a significantly longer service life than many lightweight alternatives.

 

Reinforced Steel Construction

The main body is manufactured from steel approximately 2mm thick, providing greater resistance to dents and deformation compared to many budget pellet traps. For typical UK sub-16 Joule airguns, this creates a durable backstop capable of handling thousands of pellets under normal use.

While it can also be used with higher-powered FAC air rifles at sensible distances, users should expect increased wear compared to sub-16 Joule applications.

 

Integrated Anti-Ricochet Design

Inside the trap, an angled anti-ricochet panel helps direct spent pellets into the collection area. This reduces the likelihood of pellet fragments bouncing back towards the firing line while helping keep your shooting area cleaner and safer.

 

Built-In Pellet Catcher

The internal pellet collection area helps contain spent ammunition, making cleanup far easier than shooting into improvised backstops. Simply empty accumulated pellets when required and continue shooting.

 

Suitable for a Wide Range of Targets

The front slot is designed to accept a variety of target materials up to approximately 2mm thick. This allows the use of standard paper targets, printed card targets and many aftermarket target inserts depending on your preferred shooting style.

 

Multiple Mounting Options

Dual hanging points provide flexibility when positioning the trap. It can be mounted to walls, fences, range frames or other suitable structures, allowing shooters to create a dedicated target area in gardens, clubs or indoor ranges.

Who Is The APOLLO Pellet Trap Designed For?

The APOLLO 17cm Reinforced Pellet Trap is ideal for shooters who want something more substantial than the lightweight pellet traps commonly found on the market. Its thicker steel construction, anti-ricochet design and built-in pellet catcher make it well suited to regular target shooting with air rifles and air pistols.

 

Whether you're zeroing a rifle, practising in the garden or setting up a club range, this trap offers a simple and durable way to contain pellets and hold targets without constantly replacing damaged equipment.

      Hi Colin,

      Thanks a lot for the review — sounds like you had a cracking session with the TX200 and those Superfields! We stand by these reinforced traps as the proper choice; honestly, we probably do ourselves out of a few repeat sales since they don’t bend or wear out like the cheap ones other shops push. But hey — we’d rather sell you something that lasts than something that just sells.
