About the PT Dueling Tree

Train for speed and accuracy under pressure or just have fun competing against friends with the innovative PT Dueling Tree – the target made for two.

The PT Dueling Tree has six reactive paddles for interactive training and competitive fun. Designed to swing from one side to the other when hit, the paddles challenge shooters’ target location and speed under the pressure of head-to-head competition. Because it’s made of 3/8” AR500 armor steel, the standard PT Dueling Tree is designed for handgun ammunition up to .44 Magnum and .45 ACP. Whether it’s intensive training you’re looking for or just a way to have fun on the weekends, the PT Dueling Tree has exactly what you need.

The PT Dueling Tree consists of a forward leaning center stand which allows gravity to do the work as the six reactive armor steel paddles swing from one side to the other when shot. Because the target is gravity reset and doesn’t rely on springs or mechanisms, the PT Dueling Tree gives you reliable results every time. A deceptively simple design also makes it easy to assemble and disassemble. Each target paddle slides into two rings on the back of the stand that hold it securely in place but still allow for unrestricted movement and easy assembly and disassembly.

Specifications:

• Height: 5’
• Weight: 110 lbs.
• Paddles: 6” diameter
• Steel Grade: 3/8” AR500
• Handgun Shooting Distance: 10 yards+ (This target is not rated for use with rifle ammunition)*

PROVO, Utah – Action Target Inc., the leading manufacturer of shooting ranges, today announces its release of the Sentry™ Stall: a new stall design for indoor shooting ranges. The Sentry Stall, in addition to Action Target’s industry-leading Defender™ Stall, allows range owners to customize their ranges with an unparalleled selection of stall designs and options.

The Sentry Stall utilizes interchangeable ballistic panels that are available in both steel and glass. The panels, which are independently tested for ballistic integrity, are specifically designed to prevent bullet penetration and ricochet. The stall may be outfitted with optional accessories, including brass deflectors, custom colors, muzzle blast barriers and lighting to increase the shooter’s comfort. Several table options are also available: a fixed table with an optional storage shelf and a pivot table that rotates out of the way for easy downrange access.

“Action Target takes pride in leading the industry in safety, design and functionality. The Sentry Stall is a testament to Action Target’s commitment to providing customers with the best products and options available,” said Jesse Nelson, an Action Target Product Marketing Manager.

The Sentry Stall is also offered in a deluxe version, which is twice as deep. The added depth, along with an optional self-closing gate, provides shooters with the optimal private shooting experience.

Custom Colors
Action Target has added an assortment of new color options for the Sentry Stall and Defender Stall frames and ballistic panels. The variety of color choices gives customers the opportunity to add a unique look and feel to their ranges.

Grant Shaw, Owner of The Range at Austin, said, “The custom colors available from Action Target gave us a way to differentiate ourselves and stand out from every other range.”

PROVO, Utah – Action Target Inc., the leading manufacturer of shooting ranges, today announced its release of the All Wheel Drive (AWD) Pro: a new target retriever proven to take ranges to the next level.

The wireless AWD Pro retriever is the most engaging and robust retriever on the market. It features a modern, easy to use interface with 27 addicting games and training scenarios for all skill levels. These programs offer shooters an unparalleled experience, improving both novice and expert shooters and keeping them at the range longer.

“Shooting at a static target is no longer sufficient to engage this new generation of shooters. They expect more from their equipment and are looking for an entertaining experience. The AWD Pro engages shooters like never before, with its intuitive interface, self-guided shooting scenarios and easy-to-setup drills. Not only will shooters benefit from this new equipment, but the range will as well,” said Jesse Nelson an Action Target Product Marketing Manager.

The AWD Pro was recently installed at Nashville Armory in Nashville, Tennessee, where shooters were ecstatic with the update. After the installation, ammunition consumption increased over 23% and 89% of shooters said they enjoyed the new retriever over traditional range equipment. Another interesting statistic was that over 80% of shooters interviewed said they would drive farther and pay more to use the new equipment over traditional range equipment.

These numbers can be attributed to the addicting shooting scenarios the AWD Pro offers. These preloaded games and drills were developed by leading firearms trainers and challenge every shooter no matter their skill level.  Whether shooters are trying to improve their previous score on a drill or are competing with their friends with one of the games, shooters will find themselves using more ammunition and feeling more satisfied when they leave the range. Plus, the fun environment of competing with friends on challenging drills adds an element that shooting ranges have lacked in the past and will keep shooters coming back for more.

The AWD Pro’s friendly touch screen user interface also plays a part in the new shooter experience. With its intuitive and engaging design, users are able to control more including: shooting distance, stall lighting, target lighting, target behavior, time drills and more. All of these features give the shooters more freedom, putting them in charge of their experience at the range.

“This product is just one of many future developments that testifies of Action Target’s long-term commitment to developing the shooter’s experience as well as breathing new technology and innovation into the shooting range industry. We are convinced the AWD Pro will meet the needs of today’s shooters by promoting skill building, competition and an overall higher engagement with the shooting sports,” said Kevin Tomaszewski, Action Target’s Vice President of Marketing and Engineering.

The AWD Pro gives shooters a whole new experience of improving their shooting skills while having a good time, making it the reason ranges with the AWD Pro will become the go to destination. To learn more about the AWD Pro visit link: www.actiontarget.com/products/awd_pro/ .
