Popper Targets

Big Dog Steel — US Popper & Pepper Popper Targets (Updated Base)

Durable. Tunable. Built to keep firing.

Our US Popper and Pepper Popper targets are precision-cut from 3/8″ American‑milled AR500 steel, engineered to withstand years of heavy use. Each plate now ships with a new purpose‑built base — we no longer use the old universal base. The bases are tailored specifically for each plate size and allow the popper to be set to fall forward or rearward, giving you more course-design options and a more consistent reset behavior.

Key features

• Material: 3/8″ AR500 steel (American‑milled) for long service life.

• Purpose-built bases: New bases are tailored to the US Popper (28″ x 8″) and Pepper Popper (42″ x 12″) plates — designed specifically for each plate’s balance and strike profile.

• Bidirectional fall: Bases allow the plate to be configured to fall forward or rearward, increasing staging flexibility.

• Adjustable stop: Dial in how much force is needed to reset the popper for different calibers and training scenarios.

• Pepper Popper extras: Pepper Poppers still include additional holes for activating other moving or falling targets or for cable hookups.

• Heavy‑duty construction: Fully welded steel bases and robust hardware for reliable service on commercial ranges and backyard setups.

Whether you want a light, snappy reset for competition or a stiffer feel for training, the updated base design delivers consistent, tunable performance built to last.
