    Target holder/pellet trap.

    Now my greenhouse is finished (three connected end to end) it's not quite long enough for 10m but will easily accommodate 6, so my plan is exactly that (otherwise my Steyr is doing nothing).
    I have been looking on the 'bay for target holder/pellet traps and it boils down to two styles.
    Flat back or funnel type? Price wise there's not much between them and I am currently leaning towards the flat type because it will be easier to mount on my intended backstop.
    What are your thoughts on both types please?

    I've bought and use both. IMO the funnel type is much much better, the back of the flat box one bulged out really quick and split and that's from sub 12 ft/lb rifles.

    And the funnel one only needs a single screw to mount it

    Tunnel or heavier duty

    The flat ones bulge as already said really quickly even with 6 ft lbs so don’t waste your money!

    People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones or shoot airguns ?

    Anyway, I’d be tempted to shoot at the tomatoes so don’t invite me.
