Highwild 6" x 3/8" AR500 Dueling Tree Paddle Steel Target Set - for Use with 2X4 Board - 2 Pack

Great quality and a lot of fun. Hold up great to 9 and 45. Just be mindful when you're building it about how tall it is. I used a full 6 foot 2x4 and it's a little to tall for my back drop

This is a very sturdy set. I bought four pairs so I could have eight paddles total. I built a wooden stand for them, and luckily had the forethought to add some steel to the lower diagonal braces where the bottom paddle is close; otherwise those wood braces would have been gone. One word of advice is to either not use treated lumber if it's still wet at all, or if you do then sand down one side and all corners. The treated lumber swells while still wet/damp and doesn't ever completely return to the same size as it's untreated counterparts. I only did the sanding after spending half an hour hammering the first brace all the way down from top to bottom. After sufficient sanding they all went on smoothly. The tree works great for anything 9mm or over. Won't work for 22 longs or anything similar. The paddles and guards do stand up to .40, .357 Sig, Colt 45, .357 Magnum, etc. but I would not use it for any substantial rifles.

Hope you have a power sander because you won't even be able to hammer these on most 2x4's you'll find these days. I had to power sand mine and still had to hammer them on. Good news is they work well and are very sturdy. I bought two pair and put all 4 on one 2x4. Its really really heavy so it puts a lot of stress on the base, so buy a sturdy base. The one suggested with this item is not going to last me long, it uses two small bolts that will eventually shear off.

Work just as they should. Been shooting them with 5.56 and 7.62x39. Easy set up with the 2x4. Used about 500 rounds on them so far.

Great product.
