Why Non-Compliant?
While this target mimics the silhouette of an IPSC torso, it is intentionally not dimensionally compliant with IPSC match regulations. Why? Because our EVO-Popper System was designed to go far beyond competition. Most of our customers aren't strictly training for matches – they’re hunters, recreational shooters, firearms professionals, or instructors who need reactive, durable, and adjustable target systems for real-world marksmanship. By refining the profile to suit our ground-based EVO setup, we’ve created a more versatile and practical target that delivers better performance, easier setup, and greater value for the majority of users. If you’re not bound by IPSC rules, you’ll get far more out of a target that’s built for actual field use – not just paper compliance.
🔔 Train smarter with the EVO-Popper Mild Steel Kit – silhouette-style performance and rimfire-ready reactivity in a compact, adjustable system.
