Description
The AR500 Dueling Tree Steel Target – Reactive Shooting Target is one of the most engaging and durable pistol training systems available. Whether you choose the 4-paddle or 6-paddle configuration, this dueling tree delivers fast-paced, reactive shooting fun for solo practice or head-to-head competition.
Reactive Training for Pistols
Built with 3/8″ AR500 steel paddles and a 1/4″ AR400 front deflector plate, both versions are rated for handguns under 1500 fps and 500 ft-lbs. Each paddle flips cleanly from side to side, even on off-center hits, providing instant visual feedback and endless drills to sharpen your accuracy, speed, and competition skills.
Precision CNC Laser-Cut
Every component is CNC laser-cut for precise fit and long-term durability. Unlike plasma-cut alternatives, this method reduces the heat-affected zone, resulting in stronger steel targets that last longer. Proudly made in the USA.
