Dual Flip Paddle Bracket – Full Kit (6mm Mild Steel Face Plate)

Dual Flip Paddle Bracket – Full Kit with 6mm Mild Steel Face Plate & x2 Flip Paddle Brackets
(For 90x35 Post Top Target Mount – Complete Add-On Kit, Just Add Paddles)
(This is a full kit – designed for users who already have the 90x35 Post Top Target Mount)

The Dual Flip Paddle Bracket Full Kit is a complete duelling-style target system built for airgun and rimfire shooters. It includes a powder-coated steel base plate, a powder-coated 6mm mild steel face plate, and x2 Post Top Flip Paddle Brackets—creating a reactive flip paddle setup that bolts directly to your 90x35 Post Top Target Mount (sold separately). Ideal for backyard training, .22LR competitions, and cowboy-style matches.

The system functions by starting both paddles in the outward-facing position. In a competitive setup, Shooter A engages the left paddle, and Shooter B engages the right paddle. When hit, each paddle swings inward into the middle. The first paddle to flip will sit at the front, clearly showing who hit their target first—providing instant visual feedback in a fast-paced, reactive format.

Key Features:
✔ Complete Rimfire Paddle System – Includes face plate, base plate, and x2 Post Top Flip Paddle Brackets
✔ 6mm Mild Steel Face Plate – Powder-coated black, suitable for airgun and .22LR rimfire use
✔ Spring Recoil System – Helps absorb energy and protect mounting hardware
✔ Powder-Coated Base Plate – Durable finish with zinc-coated fasteners for outdoor use
✔ Lock-In Brackets – Provide smooth 180° paddle flipping with consistent action
✔ Quick Bolt-On Design – Mounts directly to your Post Top Target Mount (sold separately)

Recommended Paddle Sizes:
✅ Best: 100mm paddles – ideal for .22LR with reliable flipping and good visual size
✅ Also compatible: 150mm paddles – may be visually suitable but see note below
❌ Not recommended: 50mm paddles – while they may function, they are visually too small and poorly matched to this system

⚠️ Note: 150mm paddles may not flip consistently with .22LR due to the sheer weight of the paddle and the low energy from .22LR impact.
For best results:

• Use 6mm 100mm paddles in mild steel for .22LR

• Do not use this system with .22 Magnum or .17 HMR – upgrade to AR450 for those calibres

Paddle Compatibility Tips:

• Match paddle material to the face plate (e.g. mild + mild)

• Using a stronger face plate with lighter paddles is acceptable, but the system rating is always limited by the weakest component

• Example: Using mild steel paddles with an AR500 face plate still limits the safe use to mild steel ratings (.22LR only)
