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.

Flip Paddle Details (Included – 6-Pack Only)

• 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

  ⚠ 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.
