Action Target’s AutoPoppers™ deliver rapid, repeatable target movement that sharpens shooter reaction time and decision-making under pressure. Engineered with a smooth pneumatic lift-and-drop system, these versatile actuators reliably raise steel, cardboard, 3D, or plastic targets into view—creating dynamic threat presentations that keep shooters engaged and focused. With automatic reset at the push of a button, AutoPoppers minimize downtime and maintain the high training tempo demanded by law enforcement, military units, and performance-driven commercial ranges. Durable, adjustable, and capable of supporting everything from basic marksmanship drills to high-stress tactical scenarios, AutoPoppers™ provide the dependable reactive feedback needed to build real-world shooting proficiency.
From your first question to your final shot, Action Target is your trusted partner—guiding you every step of the way.
