3/8″ AR500 16″ Skinny Popper – Auto Resetting Steel Target
The 3/8″ AR500 16″ Skinny Popper is a high-quality auto resetting target designed for rifle shooters looking to improve their accuracy and speed. Built from durable AR500 steel, this reactive target automatically resets after impact, thanks to its heavy-duty spring system. Ideal for tactical training, competitive shooting, and long-range practice, this target is rated for rifles up to 7.62×39 and .300 Blackout (300BLK) at 100 yards.
Key Features:
Auto Resetting Design – No need to reset manually! The spring-loaded system flips the target back into position after every hit.
Durable AR500 Steel Construction – Made from 3/8” AR500 steel, ensuring long-lasting performance even after thousands of rounds.
Stable and Secure Setup – Built-in legs raise the target 6 inches off the ground, and pre-drilled holes allow for staking, making it ideal for high-energy rounds.
Optimized for Rifle Shooting – Designed for rifles only, this steel popper is not recommended for handguns due to potential bullet splash from the base.
Upgradeable for Larger Calibers – Shooting .338 Lapua Magnum or other high-energy cartridges? Consider our Magnum Spring Popper with 1/2” AR500 steel and an upgraded spring for increased impact resistance.

Built to Outlast the Competition
