Highwild AR500 Dueling Tree Target Kit - Six Steel Paddles 6" x 3/8" Reactive Shooting Targets with Stand for Outdoor Sports Shooting Competition/Replacement AR500 Steel Paddle

​When I first received this Highwild AR500 Dueling Tree Target Kit, I ran into a quality control issue. Out of the box, I received two identical halves for the base instead of a matched left and right set. ​Because of the duplicate pieces, the stand couldn't be assembled correctly and was completely unbalanced. With the feet attached one way, the whole stand leaned to the right. If I swapped them around, it just leaned the other way, and no matter how I arranged them, one foot always stuck way out in front of the other. The biggest issue with the lean was that the dueling tree completely failed to function—gravity prevented the targets from swinging over to the other side when hit. ​However, I reached out to Highwild's customer support, and they were fantastic. After just a few quick email exchanges and sharing some photos of the base, they immediately made it right and sent out a new target. ​Now that it is set up correctly with the proper base, the stand has a perfectly stable footprint and functions exactly as it should. The targets swing smoothly, and the steel holds up great. I am extremely happy with the quality of the target itself, and even happier to know that this company stands behind its products with excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

This dueling tree is rock solid, and tons of fun. I set it up on mt pistol range, and blasted at it all day with 9mm, and it performed great. The targets are a good size, and 9mm reliably flips them. Out of about 500 rounds, only 3 or 4 failed to swing the target to the other side, and I never had a target get stuck behind the center bar. This is a very durable piece of gear, and should last a long time. I have a lot of Highwild steel on my range, and it's all been great.

Great quality! Wish everything came this well made. It was easy to assemble, well packed for shipment, works fantastic and is a nice heavy weight! No negatives at all.

Better than I expected. Shot them with pistols, many different calibers, 9s, 45s, shotgun with slugs and AR15. Held up well, did break one when the slug hit close to the tree, was able to get it welded back, no big deal. Overall, excellent value.

So far I have shot this tree with .40, .556, 7mm-08 with no pitting, welds, or issues with the mounting hardware.

This is super fun to have at the range, but it is heavy. I keep it in a 5x4 trailer with all of my portable range gear. And I could see where the paddles could snap off with extended use as seen in some of the pictures of other reviews.. The weld is right where the paddles are pivoting. If you keep it assembled, you'll need a truck or small trailer to transport it.

I have had this for axp 1.5 years. It has held up great. Shooting with .9mm, .223, .40, .38, .45acp. I'm expecting my range and getting ready to buy a 2nd one. The only thing I have found that you can't really shoot on it is .22lr from a pistol. Seem to work ok from rifles but from pistols the plates are a little too heavy for them and they will not always flip around. Sometimes only part way then they stop or move back to same side.

Great product overall. The reason for 4 stars is that you must unbolt the stand for travel if you don't have a truck. It should have been designed with a folding base.
