with a gun that shoots pellets at around 1125fps will this target be ok?

Heath, if I were you I would not buy this pellet trap. I had to send two back to Amazon before I got one that would not fall apart every time a pellet hit it. The one I kept lasted me about a month before it fell apart. Very poorly made product; I would avoid it if I were you...

Yeah the steal box is strong enough to withstand lead pellets at that pressure, but read the reviews and make sure this will fit what you want to do over all

I would recommend that you look elsewhere. The quality of this product is more geared towards less than 1000 fps. BB's would improve life. This is better used for a BB pistol.

It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are not using pointed pellets. You should still expect to dent it up pretty good on misses. A couple of thoughts. First off, depending on the make of the pellet rifle, many manufacturers will list a FPS that can only be achieved by using alloy pellets (i.e. extremely light, and therefore less accurate). Therefore, you might getting more like 1000fps at the muzzle using lead pellets. My favorite target pellet is the RWS Meisterkugeln and it runs at 8.2grains. With that pellet this trap should be okay, but expect it to make a distinct sound when hit. I have one of these, and I put a rolled up small towel in the back to keep it less noticeable by my neighbors. It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are not using pointed pellets.

I guess it depends on what kind of shooting you want to do. Some of the self defense guys around here are shooting at 7 yards, and that would be fine if your loads aren't too hot. I'm used to IHMSA and more powerful loads, and use this target at mostly at 50 yards for them and it dimples, but it can handle a .45 up pretty close I think.

It will work just fine for a pellet gun, but it's probably overkill. I would recommend something less expensive.

I'd say no, I can shoot faster than this thing will allow. but, it shoots pretty quickly, you just need to learn how quick it'll cycle and you won't have problems.

What caliber are you shooting? Don't know the FPS of my pellets, but I shoot a .177 Benjamin Marauder PCP Air rifle (stock, not enhanced) at my littls spinner target. It's about 25 yds away and I'm shooting JSB Diabolo EXACT .177 Caliber Air Gun Pellets - 8.44 gr pellets. These pellts spin and reset the target just fine. Now, I also have the larger spinning target, .made for 22 cal. These .177 pellets won't spin those bigger paddles. And my .22 and .25 Marauders spin the large target paddle and spin the small target paddles like crazy, but I don't know how long the little spinning paddles would last with the bigger pellets striking them - so I only shoot my .177 at the smaller spinner. But like I said, my .177 can spin the small paddles all day long. Hope this helps. Bobby

Depends on the fps your gun provides the higher the better, and how far away you are from the target. Also where you hit the target, I believe it can. Remember always use propper gun safety, and know what is beyond your target as well before you shoot.

No, you want something with much more power. A pellet rifle would work much better, look for something with at least 900-1200 fps. For comparison, that's three times as much power as this pistol. This is perfect for shooting cans and punching holes in paper, but not much more.

This weapon is shooting a piece of metal at approximately 460 feet per second and if you have the ability to shoot this straight and true and no further away than 30 feet I would have to say yes. The problem is that this is a pellet gun with just very little rifling in the barrel. The pellet won't travel straight for too long of a distance. You would have to be extremely close to the target and really know your weapons ability before even considering the chance of hitting let alone killing the animal. Can it kill? YES from a distance? NO. Would I use it to small game hunt? NO! Hopefully this is helpful. Thank you and enjoy your weapon.

How do you define EFFECTIVELY? With an advertised muzzle velocity of 800fps, a 14.3 grain pellet will slow to about 680fps at 50 yards; 580fps at 100 yards. I zeroed mine at 25 yards and have found it quite accurate (quarter sized 5 shot patterns) at that range. Good for target shooting at that range. Effective on small pests (gophers) at that range, too. With a 14.3 grain pellet, energy drops 25% at 50 yards and 50% at 100 yards. Not much "stopping power" at those ranges. Also, at 100 yards, the drop in trajectory will be almost 2 feet. I'm NOT an expert, but, it seems "effective" to me at 25 yards, not so much at 50 yards and I would select a different weapon to reach 100 yards.

3-4 pumps is sufficient for plinking, and will fire the pellet accurately to 25 yards. Max is 8 and will drop small game 40-50 yards out with a well placed shot. Remember to store with 1 pump.

This gun shoots 7.9 gr lead pellets right at 1000 fps. That is WAY more power than needed for rabbits, squirrels, and birds, including crows. At ranges to 30 or 35 yards, it is also enough power to kill groundhogs, possum, and raccoon with head shots! Not suitable for larger game like coyote though. And it is VERY lethal if you put the pellet where it should go!

I have Browning made by Umarex 1000fps. I tested several "heavy" pellets with these, beeman pellets topping the list. I suggest try several types and weights to get the best accuracy. The faster you rifle shoot generally means the heavier the pellet for best accuracy. Mine shoots a 3/4" group at 25 yds. with these beeman pellets. Hope this helps!

About 750 fps with BBs and 700 with pellets (depending on pellet weight) at ten pumps.

It handles hits at about 1150fps from my .177 Hatsan 125 at 20 yards just fine. The orange stickers of course start to disintegrate from the first use, but I just spray some white paint on the paddles when needed to keep the visibilty up.

I use a pellet rifle and have found it to be the best target that I have and I have a lot of targets. I have it @ 120 to 130 feet and it is very challenging to hit. The best target ever---!!.

I just got 205 fps. with a 10.5 grain pellet and 2 pumps. It will not shoot a pellet out of the barrel with 1 pump. 2 pumps is .98 fpe.

I bought this for a .22 benjamin np xl 1100 that shoots a 14.3 grain pellet about 1100 feet per second and one of the targets fell off. The targets are barely tacked on. My brother does a lot of hunting and he said lower velocity rounds might be ok if you weld the targets on better. No guarantees though. Hope that helps.
