When it comes to reactive shooting targets, few are as iconic—or as fun—as the dueling tree Target. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, engage in friendly competition, or build your range with high-quality steel targets, a dueling tree is an essential tool for shooters of all levels.
At ShootSteel.com, we’ve spent years perfecting our Dueling Tree target system, and we can confidently say it’s the best dueling tree on the market. Here’s why:
Built with Target Grade Steel – Everywhere it Matters
Every ShootSteel.com dueling tree is built from target grade steel, from the targets to the protector plate. This means you’re getting exceptional durability that can withstand thousands of rounds from handguns and rifles alike. We don’t cut corners—our AR500 dueling tree is designed for repeated use with calibers like 9mm, .40, and .45 – not just rimfire cartridges like most dueling trees.
Other steel dueling trees out there may feature AR500 steel paddles, but the legs and uprights are in most cases not target grade steel. That means misses, especially magnum cartridges, will chew up components. You get what you pay for!
Innovative Paddle Lock System
Our target retention system sets us apart. Unlike cheaper models where targets fly off or bind after a few hits, our system ensures the paddles swing freely and stay in place, even after extended use. This means less downtime and more time shooting. Our targets won’t get stuck, or fail to swing on indirect hits. The Shoot Steel dueling tree is downward angled not just for safety, but to ensure the steel targets swing correctly. We also feature a unique plate cam system that controls the paddle swing. This system prevents the targets from swinging too hard and swinging back, resulting in a clean reset on every hit!
Built for more Calibers
We’ve designed a dueling tree optimized for all handgun calibers, not just rimfire. Most of our competitor’s versions are designed for rimfire use only. Whether you’re shooting 9mm, .40, or .45, we’ve got the solution that performs flawlessly. In addition, our target grade steel front plate means that even if you miss, you’re not going to destroy you’re reactive target system.
Dueling Tree Target Built to Last – Made In USA
We proudly manufacture our dueling tree shooting targets right here in the USA. Every weld, every cut, and every component reflects our commitment to quality. You’re not just buying a steel target—you’re investing in a piece of gear that’s built to perform and built to last.
Our heavy duty components and sturdy design keep the dueling tree firmly planted, unlike other versions, where the entire unit may move on hits. We also offer a much larger front plate than other versions, better protecting the swinging shaft components from direct hits, as well as providing a flat surface for optimal spall break-up. This means a safer reactive target system with a significant reduction in risk of ricochet.
