How to Use

Static Training Mode (Legs Behind the Popper)
Position the support legs behind the popper, away from the shooter.
In this configuration, the target remains upright even after multiple hits. This setup is ideal for:
- Repeated shot drills
- Transition practice
- Movement drills
- High-volume training sessions
- Situations where resetting the target after every hit would interrupt training
Shooters can engage the target repeatedly without needing to walk downrange to reset it.
Reactive Fall-Over Mode (Leg(s) In Front of the Popper)
Flip the popper so the support legs are positioned in front of the target, toward the shooter.
In this configuration, a solid hit will cause the popper to fall over, providing immediate visual feedback and a more reactive shooting experience. This setup is ideal for:
- Match-style practice
- Confirmation of hits
- Use as Activator
- Stage design requiring steel knockdown targets
When hit, the target will tip over and require manual reset before continued use.
