6-Target AR500 Dueling Tree

Most dueling trees leave the center post exposed, which is why the post is the part that dies first and why splash comes back at the line. Shoot Steel puts a 61-inch deflector cut from domestic 1/4-inch AR400 across the front of the structure, so misses land on a plate designed to redirect fragments rather than on bare framework. The six paddles are 6-inch rounds in domestic 3/8-inch AR500 and flip across the center on every hit, either as a solo transition drill or as a race to push all six onto the other shooter's side. The base measures 41.5 by 34.5 inches and assembly takes two 3/4-inch wrenches. Read the rating before buying: this is a centerfire handgun system, capped at 1,500 fps muzzle velocity and 500 ft-lbs of impact energy, with rifle use not recommended.
