The Caldwell AR500 Dueling Tree (brand part no. 1215367) is a reactive steel target system from Caldwell built around a 2-piece AR500 steel center post with six reactive plates that pivot left and right when hit. It’s rated for handgun calibers at 10 yards, .223 Remington at 100 yards, and .308 Winchester at 200 yards, giving a clear distance and caliber envelope rather than a vague steel-safety guess.
