Updated review, heavy duty indeed! - Action Target PT Dueling Tree

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.
