Anything to do but put the mulch in the bucket and fasten the lid? TIA Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.

One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

I tape a piece of replaceable cardboard over the cutout window to put targets on. It's simple, cheap, clean. No mulch falling out. Easy to retrieve the spent pellets (I give them to bullet casters). Works for me.

I think mine is a Champion also - about $80, but works excellent and is very safe. A true sportsman counts his achievements in proportion to the effort involved and fairness of the sport. - S. Pope

OP Rustyzipper Campfire Tracker R Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 4,217 Misery	I think duct seal on the back of my Champion 22 trap might help. But I'm going to go with the bucket type in several versions too. I don't need to cut a window. One will form when I shoot. I will tape the targets on each time.
