Pistol/Light Rifle 300mm Round Gong – EVO Base Compatible (8mm AR500 Armour Plate)

Reactive Target Plate for Pistol & Light Rifle EVO-Popper Systems

This 300mm Round Gong is precision-cut from 8mm AR500 armour plate and designed specifically for use with the EVO-Popper Target Base (sold separately). Built for handguns, PCCs, and light rifle calibres, this plate delivers high durability with consistent reactive performance across a wide range of centre-fire applications.

The large round profile provides a generous strike zone with strong audible and visual feedback. When paired with the EVO base, the plate offers controlled movement with adjustable reactivity based on spring tension, limiter position, and shooting distance.

✅ Key Features:

✔ 300mm Round Gong Profile – Large, easy-to-hit reactive surface
✔ 8mm AR500 Armour Plate – Built for pistol and light rifle durability
✔ EVO Base Compatible – Direct bolt-on using EVO 4-hole mounting pattern
✔ Reactive Performance – Tunable response with EVO spring system
✔ Raw Steel Finish – Supplied uncoated (images may show painted examples)
✔ Australian Made – Precision-cut in Gippsland

📏 Dimensions:

  • Plate Diameter: 300mm

  • Subsonic rounds (<1,100 fps) may reduce reactive performance
  • Regularly inspect for wear when using rifle calibres

⚙️ How It Works:

When mounted to the EVO-Popper Base, the plate functions as a spring-assisted reactive target:

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 pistols
  • Higher tension = improved control with rifles

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

📊 Compatibility & Setup:

  • Designed for EVO-Popper Target Base Systems only
  • Mounts via 4-bolt EVO pattern

📌 Best performance achieved with spring tension matched to calibre and distance

📌 Optional V-Stakes or 300mm Nail Pegs recommended for added stability (sold separately)

⚠ Additional Notes:

  • Target plate is supplied raw/uncoated
  • Images may show painted or powder-coated finishes for reference
  • EVO base and accessories are sold separately

🔔 Summary:

A durable, centre-fire capable reactive target plate built for pistols and light rifles. The 300mm AR500 gong delivers long service life, strong feedback, and reliable performance in a compact EVO-Popper setup.
