Description

Train faster, react quicker, and own every shot. The 6-paddle AR500 Dueling Tree delivers fast, reactive pistol training for solo drills or head-to-head matches. Built with 3/8″ AR500 paddles and a 1/4″ AR400 front deflector plate, this target is rated for handguns under 1500 fps and 500 ft-lbs. Each paddle flips cleanly on center and off-center hits to give instant visual feedback that sharpens accuracy, speed, and target transitions.

Precision CNC laser cutting keeps edges true and minimizes the heat-affected zone for long-term durability. The system is built heavy for stability and longevity, weighing 98 pounds, yet assembly is straightforward with two 3/4″ wrenches. Modular components make maintenance quick and simple. Proudly made in the USA.

FAQs

Why AR500 for this setup?
⅜ ” AR500 is well-suited to most pistols at appropriate distances, offering dependable performance and long service life.

What calibers is it rated for?
Most pistols at about 10 yards.

How is laser-cutting better?
CNC laser-cutting tightly controls the heat-affected zone, preserves hardness at the edge and yields a cleaner perimeter than plasma cutting. This means longer plate life and safer splatter.

Does it ship painted?
No. We ship unpainted so you can apply your preferred color. White or bright orange offer the best contrast downrange.

What makes this system easy to use?
The 6-paddle AR500 Dueling Tree weighs 86 pounds and is designed for stability without sacrificing ease of setup. Assembly is simple using just two 3/4″ wrenches, and the modular components make ongoing maintenance quick and hassle-free.
