DEFCON Targets

Optimized in CAD for the best user experience. While there is no such thing as a perfect dueling tree for all scenarios due to so many variables in the sport (distance to target, ballistics of specific round used, barrel length, impact point on paddle (inner edge vs outer edge etc.), we have found the best happy medium.

Less tree wobble due to well fixed, sturdy, thick legs. Tree wobble should be the first thing you look at when judging quality. Leg design and material quality is the core of this.

More consistent paddle action (less paddle hang up) due to better design. Our paddles have tubes which rotate around round stainless pins which is far more reliable than dueling trees that try to rotate a flat arm in a round tube. The bottom of the paddle tube is also entirely in contact with the pin mount ensuring smooth operation.

No need for messy grease due to the design and the use of stainless pins. This is a big benefit because these will surely be loaded into your vehicle at some point in time.

Less tree damage due to projectile impact. Our dueling tree is made with 1/4″ thick steel including the legs. Many competitors are using sheet metal for legs where 1 stray shot can destroy them.

Simple design. No springs or intricate mechanisms to fail. Also front legs have feet to support weight and rear legs are pointed to help keep tree from walking.

Less chance of a ricochet because most surfaces are angled down.

Simple assembly and can be loaded into most vehicle trunks (if rear seat folds) without disassembly.
