Reviews & Ratings for Action Target PT Dueling Tree — 2 reviews — Page 1

Recently, I was surprised with a full replacement on my original order. I figured I should take the time to update my "Poor packing ruined my shopping experience" review as a token of my appreciation.

I receive two packages at delivery containing the dueling tree, pads, along with the other the base feet assembly preplaced and semi-constructed for convenience. Compared to the first delivery, it was an extremely better unboxing experience and the way it was packaged helped make the final steps setting up process much easier right from the start.

My first impressions feel satisfied with the shooting experience. Plates are as advertised; indeed, heavy duty and they react well on hit. The 6 plates allow for different training setups and can even be used creatively for competitive fun, for example the first one with all 6 plates on their side loses.

The only slight draw back, is the target is very top heavy and can do a wiggle a few inches. Not a deal breaker, but on difficult and uneven terrain you may want to put a sandbag on the legs for extra support to prevent the whole tree from tipping over, especially as the final plates all swing over to one side and all the weight is uneven. I would recommend this target if you are looking for something fun and durable.

I purchased this heavy-duty dueling tree to prep for serious training. I've spent a lot of time working, planning, and prepping a trip around the dueling tree. I Should have opened earlier before i left, because Package that was sent incomplete without feet stands and bolts. I just assumed like most companies they ship everything that was included. Unfortunately, I ended up missing out on the training weekend because of the incomplete package.

I had to call Optics Planet to explain the situation, was able to get the missing parts sent out or so I thought. Just the metal feet arrived with no hook ups or bolts. I had to make another call out to optics Planet. They told me I to redirect my call to action target themselves and handle the rest of the issues. After wasting time with them Action Target sent me the wrong sized bolts.

Months later I still can’t use this dueling tree because the original item wasn't fully fulfilled. Point is, Optics Planet didn't 100% ensure a complete product and a lot of my time was wasted in the process of fixing what shouldn't have checked before shipment. Currently I'm very hesitant to due future business with Optic Planet because of this experience.
