Caldwell AR500 Pepper Popper Auto Reset Target
Bring interactive shooting fun to your range with this self-resetting steel target system. The bright yellow pepper popper design makes hits easy to see from downrange, and the automatic reset mechanism eliminates the need to walk up and manually reset between shots.
Construction & Durability
AR500 Steel Construction: Built from AR500 hardened steel, one of the finest rifle-rated target materials available. This premium steel withstands thousands of rounds without degradation or spalling that could endanger shooters.
Complete System: Each target includes a free-standing frame, popper-shaped AR500 steel target, and ground stakes for secure setup on any range.
How It Works
When a bullet strikes the target, it falls backward on its pivot. An integrated reset spring automatically returns the target to its upright position, ready for the next shot. The frame base sits 7 inches off the ground for proper bullet impact angles.
