Duelling Tree Flip Paddle – 100MM Round Profile (10MM AR500)

Duelling Tree Flip Paddle – 100MM Round Profile (10MM AR500 Armour Steel)

Precision-Cut Flip Paddle for Handgun, Light Rifle & Shotgun Training

The 100mm Round Flip Paddle is a precision-cut target paddle designed for duelling tree target systems and other flip paddle-compatible mounts, including the 90x35 Post Top Flip Paddle Bracket Kit. Constructed from 10mm AR500 Armour Steel, this paddle offers greater durability over 8mm AR500 while remaining rated for the same calibres when used with duelling tree systems and the 90x35 Post Top Flip Paddle Bracket Kit. It provides improved longevity for centrefire rifle use without exceeding the structural limits of these target systems.

It is rated for .22LR to .45 ACP handguns, .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, .300 Blackout (subsonic/supersonic) light rifles, and shotgun use. While 10mm thick paddles provide increased durability, the duelling tree system remains rated for handgun, light rifle, and shotgun calibres only, as per the 8mm AR500 rating guidelines.

As a versatile mid-sized option, the 100mm paddle provides a balance between challenge and ease of engagement, making it a great choice for duelling trees used with light rifles and handguns. While 150mm paddles are more commonly used for centrefire rifles, the 100mm size offers a more compact target, encouraging precision while maintaining proper flipping mechanics.

This paddle provides extended lifespan and higher impact resistance compared to 8mm AR500 and allows closer shooting distances due to its increased weight and thickness, which reduces violent flipping and excessive target actuation.

⚠ Important Notes:

• 10mm AR500 paddles are NOT rated for magnum rifle calibres.
• Rounds that are too slow may not provide enough energy to flip the paddle.

📌 Velocity Considerations for Proper Actuation:

• Although this paddle will easily withstand .22LR and .17HMR, these calibres are too small, weak, and slow in velocity to reliably activate the target plates.(please see our 6mm mild steel and ar450 armour steel options)
• Higher-velocity impacts may cause the target plate to actuate too violently. If this occurs, increasing the shooting distance will help reduce impact force and allow for proper flipping motion.
• Other handgun calibres and rifle calibres that are too low in velocity may also fail to actuate the paddle properly. Ensuring the round meets the minimum velocity requirement is key to reliable target function.

📌 Minimum Shooting Distances:

• Handgun (.22LR to .45 ACP): 10 meters+
• Light Rifle (.223, 5.56, .300 BLK): 30 meters+ (angled) / 50 meters+ (vertical)

📌 Duelling Tree Armour Compatibility:

• Not recommended for use with the DT-Cadet Duelling Tree fitted with AR450 armour.
• Compatible with the DT-Cadet fitted with the AR500 8mm armour upgrade.
• Compatible with the DT-Alpha Duelling Tree, which is built with integrated 8mm AR500 armour.
