Dueling Tree or Reactive Plate? Opinions

[bmbutch]

Can only afford 1 at this time, looking @ buying either a:

Dueling Tree, AR500, 3/8"
or
Critical Shot Target Man Plate (Hostage Flipper and Chest Hole Flipper).

For Pistol Ranges, which do you think would be more fun.

I'm torn, keep going there and back again, on which one to get.

Dueling trees are too much fun.
They will make you hemorrhage ammo if competing against someone, but still very fun.

I would go for the man plate. More useful to train with. A tree would be a fun target to add later.

If you want more of a "fun target", or there will usually be another person shooting with you, the tree is the way to go. But it can be useful in training also. If your range time is more training oriented, get the man plate.

If you still can't decide, flip a coin, buy one, then start saving for the other.

Dueling trees are awesome, but they will make you expend ammunition at an unbelievable rate.

Go for a plate rack lots of fun

I’d get the man plate, I’m sure if you have a 100 had range it would be useful for rifle too.

If I was going to get a dueling tree, I’d want a rim fire version, cheaper to use.

For fun, there's no way anything can beat a tree. I've got the Action Targets standard and rimfire and loooove them!! A word of warning though, they don't call them ammo sponges for nuthin.....

Due to work schedule, primarily shoot by myself, after lots of thinking, went with plate, likely better for how I normally practice. Now start saving for the tree!

Good choice. That should be a lot of fun.

Let me know when I can come over and knock the paint off of it for you.
