I disagree about the lead dust issue. A few measures can be taken to help with this. One is to cover the open top with some plastic wrap or duct tape. Another is to coat the sides and deflector slat with Teflon. Finally, it's essential to understand that any indoor shooting activity is going to generate some lead including aerosolized lead from the muzzle. Assuming you maintain reasonable hygiene such as hand washing, use a good vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter and have good ventilation, assuming you don't go around licking the carpet like some kid from South Park you're unlikely to suffer any ill effects. I also have a degree in medicine, though in research, and I am an alumnus of the NIH. Assuming you don't ingest the lead the worst risk of lead is handloaders casting lead bullets without adequate ventilation. Too many people are paranoid about issues like this, yet too many others are careless. If you know what you're doing you're unlikely to suffer any ill effects. So enjoy your sport, just be responsible.

This is a functionally good pellet trap. But it has one very serious problem. When I first obtained one I placed it on the fireplace mantle and could shoot air pistol from a distance of 25 yards. I put about 250 pellets into it, quite happy with the way it handled itself. Then I took a close look at the trap. Lead dust was dispersed as much as 3 feet from the trap, including the hearth and rug, and pickig it up to take it outside caused lead dust to fall over everything, including my lungs. As a physician, I was truly alarmed and discarded the trap after rendering it lead-safe. This would be a fine target nailed to a tree outside, with attention to the lead dust. Why not spend a few dollars more and get a trap with ballistic putty in the back? No lead dust, no health risk, no awful noise of lead hitting steel, and easy to pick the pellets out with a pair of tweezers. These are safe to use indoors. Leo walker, M.D.
