DT-Cadet Armoured Duelling Tree System Bundle – Rimfire Reactive Target Kit with REACK X-BASE & 6 AR450 Flip Paddles

The DT-Cadet Armoured Duelling Tree System Bundle is a complete rimfire reactive target kit designed for shooters using .22LR, .22 Magnum, and .17 HMR. Built with a 6mm AR450 armoured spine and 6 x precision-cut 100mm AR450 flip paddles, this upgraded system delivers greater durability, better splatter control, and closer engagement distances than the standard mild steel DT-Cadet bundle.

Ideal for training, competitions, and recreational shooting, the DT-Cadet Armoured provides a dynamic shooting experience. Each successful hit flips a paddle smoothly to the opposite side, helping improve speed, accuracy, and rapid target transitions during drills or friendly head-to-head matches.

    • DT-Cadet Armoured Duelling Tree

    • DT-Alpha Duelling Tree

    • Cadet & Alpha Drop Trees


Flip Paddle Details (Included – 6-Pack Only)

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

  • Material: 6mm AR450 Armour Steel – optimised for rimfire performance

  • Precision-Cut for Smooth Action: Balanced flipping motion for consistent operation

  • Tool-Free Installation: Drops directly into the DT-Cadet Armoured mounts for fast swaps

  • Improved Longevity vs Mild Steel: Better resistance to cratering, pitting, and surface wear
    Performance Note: While AR450 paddles are compatible with air rifles and CO₂ guns, low-powered airguns may not produce enough energy to flip paddles reliably. For best performance, use .22LR or high-powered air rifles capable of 700+ fps at impact.
