Prairie Dog Auto Reset Popper Target

This target is built from AR500 steel and is rated for high-velocity impacts up to 3000 fps and 3500 ft. lbs. of energy. It is designed to handle most standard rifle calibers, but always ensure you are shooting from a safe distance to prevent ricochet.

The spring-loaded mechanism is designed for durability, but it is a good practice to keep the pivot points clean and free of debris. If you notice the target becoming sluggish, a quick spray of dry lubricant can help keep the reset action smooth.

Yes, the system includes both a free-standing frame and ground stakes. While the frame provides stability on flat surfaces, the included stakes are essential for securing the target firmly into the ground, which helps keep it stable on uneven or soft terrain.

For safety and to preserve the integrity of the AR500 steel, we recommend a minimum distance of 100 yards for rifle calibers. Shooting closer than this can cause excessive pitting or damage to the target face.

The target is designed with a prairie dog silhouette that provides a distinct, reactive visual cue. While it is sized for precision practice, you may want to add a high-visibility paint or target sticker to the face if you are shooting at the maximum effective range.
