DT-Alpha Duelling Tree System Bundle – Heavy-Duty Reactive Target Kit with REACK X-BASE & 6 AR500 Flip Paddles

The DT-Alpha Duelling Tree System Bundle is our strongest and most durable reactive target system, built for shooters running handguns, light rifles, and shotguns. Featuring a solid 8mm AR500 armour spine and 6 x precision-cut 100mm AR500 flip paddles, this system is designed for high-volume training, competition practice, and heavy-duty performance without requiring upgrades.

With its fully reactive flip paddle design, every hit sends the paddle smoothly to the opposite side, delivering dynamic feedback and helping shooters develop speed, accuracy, and rapid target transitions.

    • DT-Alpha Duelling Tree (8mm AR500)

    • DT-Cadet Duelling Tree (Mild Steel & AR450)

    • Cadet & Alpha Drop Trees


Flip Paddle Details (Included – 6-Pack Only)

  • Size: 100mm round profile – standard size for duelling tree setups

  • Material: 8mm AR500 Armour Steel – designed for handgun, light rifle & shotgun use

  • Precision-Cut for Performance: Smooth, balanced flipping motion for rapid drills

  • Tool-Free Installation: Drops straight into the DT-Alpha mounts for quick swaps

  • Durability: Resistant to cratering, pitting, and high-impact deformation

Performance Notes:

  • Rounds below 1,100 fps may not reliably flip 8mm & 10mm paddles.

  • .22LR, .22 Magnum & .17 HMR will not actuate 8mm & 10mm paddles, even above 1,100 fps, due to low energy.

  • For rimfire use, 6mm Mild Steel or AR450 paddles are required (remove stiffening plates for proper flipping).
