Where to find a duelling tree.

[blchow]

Anyone out there know where I can purchase a sturdy dueling tree for pistol use? Looking for something in Canada. Most of listings on the Internet are from the states (and pricey!).

a good dueling tree will be pricey no matter what, and all the canadian target makers i found charged about twice as much as the big ones from the states and the product looked no where near as professional.

I still cant find a good tree with the 2 targets, one flat and one on the 90. i find the straight single target ones get stuck to easy

Ive built two.Its not that hard if you have yourown tools bandsaw or cutoff saw and welder drillpress is handy as well.The worst part for me was finding AR500 steel for the targets.You will be looking at about $20.00 - $25.00 a sq. foot for the steel.I had to order mine from out your way.I used 3/8 angle for the upright and 1/4 for the swing brackets.If you cant do it yourself hopefully you have a freind that is a welder.There is all kinds of plans on the web just google it.

I am planning on making some in the very near future.
I would have to find out my cost to see if its something that is worthwhile to sell.
Also working on some poppers.

We made one out of mild steel. We should it with 44special loads, 9mm and 22. Different sets of plates for different types of ammo. Just shooting lead bullets doesn't damage it in the least.

There's a couple of "how to" videos on making a duelling tree.

If you have access to a welder and a cutting torch, you're in.

I like this one from the US.

http://store.actiontarget.com/dueling-tree-standard.html

Price $399
Taxes $31.92
Shipping to my US pick up address: $92.79
Total: $532.71 USD Ouch!

Think it would be cheaper to get one made by a local welder?

 

[heavenIsAlie]

not much cheaper if you are using ar500

Here is me losing at my own game:

AR500 is way overkill for pistol on a target that moves. 3/8 mild will last a long time.
