Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers is the Birchwood Casey Rimfire Popper Paddle safe to use with?
This target is rated for rimfire calibers only, including .22 Short, .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR. It is not designed for centerfire pistol or rifle calibers. Using centerfire ammunition can damage the target and create unsafe ricochet conditions. Always maintain a safe shooting distance — a minimum of 25 yards is generally recommended for rimfire steel targets.
Does the popper reset automatically after being knocked down?
Yes — the popper paddle is designed to tip over when struck and can be reset manually by simply standing it back up. Some popper designs include a spring-assist reset, but this paddle model is a tip-style reactive target that requires a quick walk to the target or a reset cord to return it to the upright position between shooting strings.
How do I set up and care for the Rimfire Popper Paddle target?
Setup is straightforward: press the ground stake into firm soil and attach the paddle arm according to the included instructions — no tools required in most cases. For longevity, inspect the target face regularly for deep pitting or cracking and repaint worn areas with a bright target paint such as Birchwood Casey's own Shoot-N-C spray. Store the target in a dry location to prevent rust and extend its service life.
