Description
The Champion Bullet Trap is a no-nonsense steel backstop made for one thing: catching your .22 rimfire and pellet rounds so they stop where they're supposed to. It gives you a 10 by 11 inch target face, a heavy-gauge steel body that shrugs off round after round, and a bulldog-style clip up front that grips your paper targets tight. Weighing in around 20 pounds, it's got enough heft to stay planted while you shoot but still light enough to haul out to the yard and pack back up when you're done.
What Makes This Champion Bullet Trap Worth a Look
The angled internal design is the real story here. When a round hits, it's funneled down and captured inside instead of bouncing back at you, which is a big deal for anyone shooting in a backyard or tighter space. Folks who use it regularly mention how solid and durable it feels, and a common tip from the field is to slip a piece of cut cardboard over the opening to keep your groups tidy and extend the life of the face.
Who's Reaching for the .22 Rimfire Bullet Trap
This one earns its keep with high-volume plinkers, instructors running new shooters through the basics, and anyone who wants a clean, contained way to burn through a brick of .22 LR. It handles low-velocity air rifle pellets just as happily, so if you're switching between a rimfire and a .22 cal pellet gun, you've got both covered.
Keeping Your Champion Bullet Trap in the Fight
Stick to .22 rimfire and pellet rounds and this trap will run a long, long time. Anything hotter or larger than a .22 LR will chew it up faster than you'd like, so keep it in its lane. Set it at a sensible distance, hang your target on the bulldog clip, and you've got a tidy little range station ready whenever you are.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I shoot into the Champion Bullet Trap?
This trap is built strictly for .22 rimfire, meaning .22 LR and similar low-velocity rimfire loads. It also handles .22 caliber air rifle pellets without any trouble. Anything larger or faster than a .22 LR, including centerfire rounds, will damage it, so keep it to rimfire and pellets only.
Does the bullet trap come with paper targets?
No, targets are sold separately. The trap ships with a bulldog-style clip that grips your paper targets right at the opening, so you can use whatever paper targets you prefer. Many owners also slip a piece of cardboard behind the paper to keep the face clean over time.
Is the Champion Bullet Trap loud when you shoot it?
There is an audible ding when a round hits the steel, which is normal for any metal trap. A lot of folks actually like that sound since it confirms the round landed inside. If you want to quiet it down a touch, a cardboard insert over the opening can help soften the ring.
Is it heavy enough to stay put, and can I still move it?
At right around 20 pounds it has enough weight to hold steady while you shoot without walking backward. At the same time, it's light enough for one person to carry out to the yard and stow away afterward. That balance is why it works well as a go-anywhere backyard or private range setup.
