AR 500 Pepper Popper Target | 22″ Mini USPSA Target

Purpose-Built for Dynamic Drills

Need a reliable fall-down target for USPSA stages, LE qualification, or backyard matches? This scaled-down AR 500 Pepper Popper Target brings match realism to any range. Pair it with gongs or statics and force faster transitions, distance accountability, and instant hit confirmation.

Why Shooters Choose This Popper

  • Competition Correct – Cut to IPSC mini popper specs for consistent scoring.

  • 3/8″ AR500 Steel – CNC-laser precision delivers a smooth edge and a long service life.

  • Stable, Stakable Base – 9.25″ × 24″ zinc-plated frame includes four ½″ stake holes to keep the popper upright in wind or on rocky soil.

  • Clear Visual Feedback – Falls flat when hit; the clang plus motion tells RO and shooter the shot counted.

  • Weather-Ready Finish – Target ships raw for easy repainting; base is plated to resist rust.
