Description

This steel popper targets package includes (3) of our prairie dog steel targets with bases and hardware. This specific package does NOT include the legs!

The AR500 Prairie Dog Steel Target was designed to work with rifles up to 7.62×39 and 300BLK at 100 yards. Target flips back and is automatically reset by a spring. They were not designed to be shot with handguns as the base can direct bullet splash back at the shooter. Minimum shooting distance is 75 yards for rifles and handguns.

The Prairie Dog Steel Target is 14.5″ tall. The auto popper target includes holes to fasten the legs onto the target system which will raise the target off the ground a full 6″. These holes also work perfectly to stake the base to the ground if you choose to go without legs. During our testing of the competition, we found that some used mild steel bases. The bullets splash will quickly cut through these cheaper target bases, so do not confuse these with some of the cheaper reactive targets.

Rifles over 3000 fps muzzle velocity should be used at 200 yards or greater to prevent damage to the target.  Max impact energy 1500ft.lbs.
