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
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.
Tree is great. Base is lacking design/support.
The dueling tree is awesome! Really enjoying using this target! They definitely put my mind at ease when I called about shipping questions.
Brad was great to work with. Returned calls, answered questions, quick delivery. Good quality shooting tree
I purchased the AR500 Dueling tree with 6 targets. I took them to the range 2 times so far and what a blast. 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.
Fast shipping! Dueling tree went together easily, I haven't used it yet, but it appears to be a quality item and should last a long time.
I bought 2 dueling trees that are extremely heavy duty and should last for years.

I've already shown a couple friends and they love it too.
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.
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 purchase 2 t-post bracket and their dueling tree. It did absolutely amazing. At least 3k+ rounds at it with zero damages!

Shipment arrived on time, was easy to assemble and works perfectly. Great quality and best of all, made in the USA.
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.
Real fast shipping in all my items I purchased will buy again
The dueling tree is very well made, easy to put together, and a whole lot of fun. It ships in 2 packages and I received mine a couple of days apart.
great product, very well made. Cant wait to shoot it.
This performs exactly as expected. Top quality, super happy with this.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
Brad went above and beyond to meet my delivery timeline.
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!
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.
It is very well built and easy to put together, I ordered it and it was delivered in a couple days. Highly recommended
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?
.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.
