Centrefire Magnum EVO-Popper Kit – Base + Half-Size IPSC Style Silhouette Target (16mm AR500)

Heavy-Duty Reactive Target System for Magnum Rifle Use

This Centrefire Magnum EVO-Popper Kit combines the EVO Target Base with a Half-Size IPSC-style silhouette target plate made from 16mm AR500 armour steel. Designed for magnum rifle calibres, this system delivers maximum durability with reliable reactive performance in a compact, ground-based setup.

The silhouette profile provides a practical engagement zone for long-range and high-energy shooting, while the EVO base allows you to fine-tune how the system reacts. With adjustable spring tension, selectable reset modes, and no need for bulky frames or posts, this kit is built for consistent feedback under extreme use conditions.


Key Features:

Complete EVO System – Base and silhouette target plate included
16mm AR500 Armour Plate – Built for magnum rifle durability
Half-Size IPSC Style Profile – 476mm tall x 230mm wide
Adjustable Reactivity – Tune response using spring tension and limiter positions
Auto-Reset or Fall Mode – Configure to suit your training style
Compact Ground Setup – No frames, posts, or complex setup
Australian Made – Built in Gippsland, Victoria


🔧 What’s Included:

  • 1 x EVO-Popper Target Base (main body + detachable legs)
  • 1 x Half-Size IPSC Style Target Plate (16mm AR500 armour plate)
  • Stainless Steel Pins, Clips & Spring Recoil System
  • Target Mounting Bolts
  • All Required Assembly Hardware

🛡 Target Rating – 16mm AR500 Armour Plate:

Suitable For:

  • Magnum rifle calibres (.300 Win Mag, .338 Lapua, and similar)

Not Rated For:

  • Calibres exceeding listed velocity or energy limits
  • Armour-piercing or specialised penetrator ammunition

Recommended Use (Angled – EVO System):

🔹 Magnum Rifles: 150m+ (angled or vertical)

🔹 Max Velocity: 2,850 fps
🔹 Min Velocity: 750 fps
🔹 Max Energy: 4,500 ft-lbs+

📌 Subsonic rounds may not reliably activate reactive movement

📌 Always match distance and setup to calibre and energy levels


⚙️ 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 = more visible movement
  • Higher tension = improved control with high-energy impacts

3-Position Limiter System

  • Short travel = faster reset
  • Longer travel = greater visible reaction

⚠ 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 slightly with setup and terrain)
  • Mounting Pattern: EVO 4-bolt system only

📌 Taller silhouette profile helps keep impacts above the base during normal use

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


📌 Additional Notes:

  • Target plate is supplied raw/uncoated
  • Images may show painted or powder-coated finishes for reference
  • Base is not armour-rated — avoid striking the base directly
  • Modular system – replacement parts available

📘 Resources:

  • Instruction Manuals – Setup and adjustment guide
  • Safety, Distance & Calibre Ratings – Always follow recommended 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.


Ammunition Advisory:

  • Suitable for use with standard and monolithic projectiles within rating limits
  • Do not use armour-piercing or penetrator ammunition, including: AP, SAP, APHE, APFSDS, or similar projectile types

🔔 Summary:

An ultra heavy-duty reactive target system built for magnum rifle use. The Centrefire Magnum EVO-Popper 16mm AR500 Kit delivers maximum strength, adjustable performance, and reliable feedback in a compact, ground-based platform designed for extreme applications.
