You should have made the rear panel collapse independently when the pellet strikes it so you know when you've gone through and when you haven't :) Otherwise the setup looks great :D I'm looking at making a good pellet trap/target set with some scrap metal, wood and books once I get a Pegasus :)

You have not seen the video properly I made this FT collapse only when pellets hit the kill zone
In the video I hit the first two shot on the kill zone & entire unit collapses but when I hit third shot (deliberately) on the front metal plat entire unit remain stable not collapse
