Dueling Tree - Steel Shooting Target

The Dueling Tree Steel Shooting Target is a head-to-head reactive target system where two shooters simultaneously engage opposing sides of a center-mounted pivot assembly, each attempting to transfer all steel paddle targets from their side to the opponent’s side through accurate hits before their opponent can do the same. The system builds pistol speed, target acquisition, and accuracy under competitive pressure in a format that resets automatically through the paddle pivot mechanism, eliminating range officer intervention between runs.

Paddles are laser-cut or plasma-cut from AR500 hardened steel plate — 3/16 inch thick for standard pistol caliber use and 3/8 inch for magnum handgun and higher-velocity pistol calibers — with a Brinell hardness rating of 500 HB providing impact resistance without face deformation at specified safe engagement distances. Standard paddle diameter is 6 inches, with 4-inch options available for increased difficulty at longer engagement distances. Each paddle mounts on a steel swing arm attached to the center column via a pivot pin and bushing, transferring across the centerline upon clean impact with sufficient momentum to carry the paddle fully to the opposing side.

The center post is constructed from 2-inch structural steel tube with a height positioning the paddle array between 0.5 and 1.4 meters above ground. Mounting options include a ground-drive stake for field installation and a flat base plate with anchor bolt provisions for permanent concrete pad installation at fixed range facilities. Six-paddle configurations — three per side — are standard, with eight-paddle variants available for extended competitive runs.

Powder coat finish on all external steel surfaces provides corrosion resistance during outdoor storage between range sessions, with high-visibility color options including orange, yellow, and red improving target acquisition speed during training drills.

In Pakistan, dueling tree steel shooting targets are installed at police marksmanship ranges, military pistol qualification facilities, IPSC competitive shooting venues, and private tactical training centers.
