  • CNC laser-cut in the USA from American-made SR500+ steel
  • SR500+ steel is more durable and better suited for steel targets than AR500
  • Great fun for 2 shooters, if you like to spend range time with friends, this target is for you
  • Works great with 9mm and up pistol calibers from 10+ yards and capable of handling .223 at 50 yards, the steel can handle larger calibers but the impact of them will cause multiple paddles to flip at once
  • Target arrives unpainted

This dueling tree is hands down one of my favorite targets. Nothing shuts your buddy up about how good he is with guns quite like destroying them on a dueling tree. Win or lose you'll find yourself loading your magazines back up to give it another go.

 

 

    What target thickness do I need?

    Target Selection and Use Guidelines

    1/4" SR500+

    Usage: Rimfire & Non-Magnum Handguns (.22LR, 9mm, .45 ACP etc)
    Distance: 10+ yards
    Energy Rating: Up to 500 ft-lbs at impact
    Velocity Rating: Up to 3,000 fps at impact
    Note: While this is rated for centerfire pistols, I recommend bumping up to 3/8" SR500+ if it's going to be for heavy centerfire pistol use.

    3/8" SR500+

    Usage: Handguns & Rifles (magnum pistols, .223, .308, .30-06 etc)
    Distance: Handguns 10+ yards, Rifles 100+ yards
    Energy Rating: Up to 3,000 ft-lbs at impact
    Velocity Rating: Up to 3,200 fps at impact
    Note: 3/8" SR500+ is the go-to target material for 95% of shooters and what I run on my personal range. If you're thinking that this material can't handle your rifle, remember that these ratings are at the point of impact and not at your muzzle. You just need to adjust your distance so the bullet loses enough energy to be bellow these thresholds. 

    1/2" SR500+

    Usage: Magnum Rifles (.300 Win Mag, .338 Lapua etc)
    Distance: 100+ yards 
    Energy Rating: Up to 4,000 ft-lbs at impact
    Velocity Rating: Up to 3,200 fps at impact
    Note: This is the go to target material for those of you who have magnum rifles and not enough range to get the target out there very far.

    Fast Turnaround, Excellent Buying Experience, Sooo much fun at the range

    The whole purchase process was seamless. Go to the site, add it to the cart, checkout, get a confirmation email and very fast follow up from Brad. I ordered it July 8th at 9PM, and it was here Monday mid day. Brad is certainly on top of things at his shop.

    Took this out to a private range with about 20 young men a friend and I were taking shooting as part of 4 day outing. This dueling target was so fun to compete against other adults with, and the young men had a blast with it too. We stuck w/ handguns and 9mm at about 25 ft, good quality steel. Below are some pics after unboxing and before all the action started at the range

    OUTSTANDING PRODUCT AND SERVICE!

    I ordered the 6 paddle dueling tree on a Wed night and it was delivered to my doorstep on Friday. I goofed when setting up my Atlas account, contacted Brad and he corrected my mistake immediately. The dueling tree arrived in two extremely well packed heavy cartons. Inside the cartons the packing was even more impressive. Don't know if it could be done any better. There was 1/4" plywood backing to support the weight of the pieces, foam wrapping and shrink wrap holding everything in place. So impressed I had to include a photo. Just wow - attention to detail not often seen these days. The instructions were concise and initial assembly of the stand and riser took about 10 easy minutes and required just a couple of standard wrenches. All the parts scream quality and the finish is outstanding. Love the simplicity and portability. The riser sets into the stand, and the paddles just set into slots on the back of the riser - no tools required. Easily breaks down and re-assembles in a minute or two. The AR500 steel throughout adds weight and no doubt durability. Function is great due to the simplicity of the design, and quality of construction. Overall I could not be more pleased with this purchase and will be looking to add more Atlas products to my range in the future. Thank you!

    This target was a hit on my range day with the fellas. When set up properly a friendly wager can get competitive fairly quickly. I personally enjoyed it and wouldpurchase again.

They really work amazing .They are so much fun to shoot at .I am so glad that I got these. Should have got them a long time ago. Thank you Brad again for the great targets that I have gotten from you.

    OUTSTANDING!

    Delivered very fast, very well constructed and all parts worked together very well. When I got it set up at my range, the family had loads of fun. If you looking for a shooting tree, just buy this one and stop looking anywhere else. I will continue buying targets from ATLAS. Now I just need another job to pay for them. Made in the USA, just fantastic.

    Fun for the family. Expertly made

    I really enjoyed my first outing with the dueling tree. Can’t wait to play again with the rest of the family. My family has enjoyed so far, We have not battled each other using it yet. Just battling self. It is awesome that I can use my high power rifles and pistols.
    My son and daughter were sad the were unable to move paddles with the .22LR (not enough power).
    Plenty of fun with .223. Good thing I have a second rifle for opponent to play against.

    I am extremely pleased with this product. It was super easy to assemble, and extremely well made. After one day of shooting and thousands of rounds the steel held up flawlessly and has no dimples at all. A lot of competitors have a soft steel "trunk", this one has AR500. I'm glad too as quite a few rounds ended up hitting it and other than paint chipped off no damage. This looks to be a product that will last and last. Both order processing and shipping were amazing. Atlas Target Works will be my go to for all my future target needs.

    Solid Dueling Tree

    Easily my favorite steel target to shoot now. Very professionally made, easy to put together and transport, and I like how the entire system leans forward with the base legs in the front being longer to compensate. It took less than a week to arrive after ordering, which was phenomenal. So far I have shot hundreds of rifle and pistol rounds at it (9mm, 40S&W, 45ACP, 5.56). The trunk (also 3/8" AR500) and paddles held up without any dimpling. The paddles took a little bit of a breaking in period to completely rotate every time, but now it works smoothly.

    great quality reactive system

    dualing tree is very well made, easily assembled, and a lot of fun to shoot. When hit, the plates swing to other side to be re-engaged eliminating the need to reset targets all the time. Great product.

    Awesome

    Everything is very solid, steel is professional cut, and it is very easy to assemble. Haven’t shot it yet, but I do not think I will be disappointed :)

    Great!

    Heavy duty! I may cost more than the big box brand but it’s going to last longer. The extra money you spend is in steel. It’s nice.

    Solid Target and lots of fun

    I love it and thrilled the stand itself is also made of 1/2” AR500 steel... I hadn’t found this anywhere else. This target stood up well to .223, 38sp, and 9mm round very well. Packaging did come back really destroyed and I was worried I may have lost some parts in the shipment, fortunately it was all there as well as a few extra nuts and bolts of odd sizes... anyway, awesome product, good quality, and lots of fun!

    Dueling Tree Update

    This is a follow up review to the previous one written. I have now expended several thousand rounds of pistol and 500 rifle ammo at this target. I have compared this target system with others on the market. (Other brands use angle steel on the main support trunk, it has bullet penetration all the way through) The material used in the dueling is of high grade AR 500 steel and placed were it should be. The durability of this tree has to set the gold standard. This tree has taken a beating from LEO training (one of their favorite targets). Only modification I made was to weld the base stand together for more stability, which I am never disassembling again. This is a great training tool for because you never know which plate will flip and it works on a lot of skill sets. Once again thanks Brad for making a quality target system and keep up the good work.

    This dueling tree is the real deal! It can chew up your ammo supply fast! I use it for competition and LEO training. I have only fired a thousand rounds of 9mm at the target so far. I lubricated the plate hinges with silicone spray. It's a tight quality construction, padles are tight fitting. After a short break in period paddles started moving freely with no problem. I use both pistol and pistol carbines on this target . I will give a follow review up on durability.

    What caliber can you use on the dueling tree at 100 yards?

    Atlas Target Works

    .223/5.56 will work great from 50+ yards. The steel can handle larger calibers like .308 but they hit so hard that multiple paddles flip at impact which kind of defeats the purpose of the target but feel free if you're just wanting to watch it move.
