Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers can I use with the Caldwell AR500 Dueling Tree?
The Caldwell AR500 Dueling Tree is designed for pistol calibers, including 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and up to .44 Magnum. It is not recommended for use with rifle calibers, as high-velocity rifle rounds can damage AR500 steel paddles even at standard engagement distances. Always maintain a safe shooting distance of at least 10 yards for pistol calibers.
How do the paddles reset — do I have to manually flip them back?
No manual resetting is needed. Each paddle is spring-loaded and swings to the opposite side of the tree when struck, making them instantly available for your shooting partner to engage. This self-resetting mechanism is what makes the dueling tree so effective for competitive drills and keeps the action moving without interruption.
Is the Caldwell AR500 Dueling Tree suitable for range use in California?
Yes, the Caldwell AR500 Dueling Tree is a steel target suitable for use at outdoor ranges in California, provided the range permits steel targets and you follow all range safety rules. Always check with your specific range facility regarding their steel target policy, required shooting distances, and any restrictions on target types before use.
