DT-Cadet Duelling Tree System Bundle – .22LR with REACK X-BASE & 6 Flip Paddles

The DT-Cadet Duelling Tree System Bundle is a complete .22LR reactive target kit designed for fast-paced training, competitive shooting, and improving your speed and accuracy. Perfect for solo practice or head-to-head competitions, this system uses six precision-cut 100mm flip paddles that swing smoothly from side to side with each successful hit.

Built from premium 6mm mild steel, the DT-Cadet is a budget-friendly option for recreational shooters who want a fun, reliable, and portable duelling tree system. Its forward-leaning design safely deflects bullet fragments downward and extends the life of your paddles, making it ideal for close to mid-range .22LR training.
