🛡 Target Rating – 6mm Premium Mild Steel:
Rated For: .22LR only
Recommended Use:
🔹 Angled Targets (17°–20°+): 25m+
🔹 Vertical Targets: 50m+
🔹 Max Velocity: 1,200 fps
🔹 Min Velocity: ~800 fps
📌 Not suitable for centrefire, magnum rimfire, or high-energy ammunition
📌 Lower velocity .22LR may reduce reactive performance depending on setup
📌 Very low velocity rounds (<500 fps) may increase ricochet risk
⚙️ How It Works:
The EVO-Popper system is a spring-assisted reactive target. When struck, the plate rotates backward and reacts based on your setup:
Auto-Reset Mode (Spring Installed)
The plate returns forward after each hit for continuous shooting
Fall Mode (Spring Removed)
The plate falls back and stays down for clear hit confirmation
Spring Tension Adjustment
- Lower tension = easier activation for .22LR
- Higher tension = faster return and firmer response
3-Position Limiter System
- Short travel = faster reset
- Longer travel = greater visible movement
⚠ Higher tension combined with limited travel increases impact force and wear over time
📊 System Notes & Setup:
- Plate Size: 476mm (H) x 230mm (W)
- Mounted Height: ~600mm total (varies with setup and terrain)
- Mounting Pattern: EVO 4-bolt system only
📌 Taller silhouette profile helps keep impacts above the base during normal use

❗ Why Non-Compliant?
While this target mimics the silhouette of an IPSC torso, it is intentionally not dimensionally compliant with IPSC match regulations. This allows the EVO system to prioritise real-world usability, improved performance, and practical setup over strict competition sizing. The result is a more versatile and user-friendly target system suited to a wide range of shooters and applications.
🔔 Summary:
A compact, reliable reactive target system built specifically for .22LR. The EVO-Popper Mild Steel Kit delivers practical silhouette training, adjustable performance, and consistent feedback in a simple, ground-based setup.
