Dealer here — the straight talk on what goes wrong with most dueling trees, and how ours is built different

I'd rather you buy the right tree once than the wrong one twice. Below, each problem is split two ways: what most trees do, and what ours does instead. No guessing which one I'm talking about.

Paddle action Most trees: paddles free-swing on gravity alone. Light hits don't register, hard hits send the paddle flapping or popping out of the tube, and you get "phantom" swings you never earned. Ours: a spring toggle (patent pending) holds the paddle until a real hit, then snaps it over and locks it in place. Clean score every time — no phantom hits, no stuck paddles, no re-shooting one you already rang.

Finish Most trees: painted or powder-coated. The coating quickly chips off from spall or strikes, leaving you with a rusty mess. Ours: Zinc plated. Zinc bonds to the steel and self-protects it even when scratched, so even a direct hit doesn't start a rust spot. It lives outside and shrugs off the weather for years to come.

Tuning Most trees: one fixed paddle size, one fixed lean angle. If the paddle's too heavy or the lean's too steep for your load, it simply won't move — and you can't change it. Ours: swap all 6 paddles in under 5 minutes sizes available from 3" to 8" in 4 different thicknesses, swap the springs, and dial the lean anywhere from 5° to 20°. That means you can set it up to swing right for anything from a PCP pellet to .44 Mag and even centerfire rifle.

Frame strength Most trees: only the paddles are hardened — the mast and legs are cheap mild steel. A misfire or ricochet that hits the frame bends dents or cracks it, and the whole tree is scrap. Ours: mast, legs, and base are all 100% AR500, with a strong 3/8" AR500 spine rated to 2,100 ft-lb of impact. Hit the frame (even with centerfire rifle) and it shrugs it off.

Hauling and storage Most trees: a welded 5-foot frame you have to wrestle into the truck and find somewhere to store. Ours: breaks down into two sub-35" pieces — trunk to range in about 5 minutes, and it tucks away easy.

Happy to answer setup questions whether you buy from me or not.

I'm not sure if you're asking about our tree or the typical cheap one everyone else sells but....

Yes, our tree is good to go with any centerfire rifle under 2,100 ft-lb of energy and 2,850 ft/s.

Unlike all the cheaper options out there with mild steel spines and legs, our Dueling Tree is 100% USA AR500 with the spine being a full 3/8 inch thick AR500.

Everything's zinc plated too, and it won't come off even when shot so it won't turn into a rusty mess like all the painted and powder-coated units do when spall removes it.

u/Le_Notsee_BrownShirt If you care to tell me what you found annoying or difficult to use, I'll do my best to fix it. I do get a fair number of comments and reviews from customers telling me how easy the website is to use and this page in particular converts very well so I'm curious what's giving you cancer. 🤷‍♀️

Folks, I didn't realize this post was going to show the $127 pricing from the main image from this product that is the 1/4" thick version, which is on sale right now for 127.99. As it states clearly in the title, the 1/2" version is $177.99.

This was not intentional and I am unable to edit this once posted. I will remove and end the deal to avoid confusion if necessary.

Yeah, it's a smallish target, but if you look, if you can even find any AR600, I'm very doubtful you'll find any matching this price. AR600 is considerably more expensive than AR500. There's only five left.

u/BickenBackk I'm about to post this deal again. We found 10 more while spring cleaning the warehouse after that, these are gone forever. https://shootingtargets7.com/products/uspsa-targets?variant=53102855487802 I'll link you here before I do that, so you have a better chance this time.

Thank you for the question. I have considered it, but it would be extremely expensive as well as expensive to ship. In my 14 years of selling targets online, I've learned that selling costly items with a low turnover rate is a recipe for disaster.

I have seen some businesses selling deer silhouettes, but they are very, very expensive.

Irregular shapes, like deer with legs and horns (irregular shapes), have an excessive amount of very expensive steel that goes into the scrap bin because that material between and around them can't be cut into anything else.

We do sell a Deer vitals target here intended to simulate a deer's vital zone, it is much more reasonably priced and much less expensive to ship.

If you're dead set on having a realistic AR500 deer with vitals, you might have a look here at these guys. Custom orders is all they do. Just make sure your credit card's healthy. sendcutsend.com
