Air Venturi Dueling Tree Airgun Reviews

Well built

Pellets do not move the paddle targets

Works well and easy to put together.

It could use two more targets.

You will need a .22 to get them to swing. I think a .177 ant going to cut (swing) it.

The large base makes setup easy un uneven terrain

Quality of construction. The latching mechanism could be much better. The top paddle on mine broke on the third hit and it doesn't look like the others will last much longer. With higher power PCP airguns .25caliber and up, the paddles tend to flip over and bounce back. With CO2 power air guns you have to hit the very edge of the paddle to get it to flip.

This is only suitable for break barrels that are .22 caliber. Any more power and you will damage the stand. Any less power and the paddles will not move. I expected better for the price, honestly.

Not much.

Needs to be more robust. .22 pellets from my FX Crown immediately started denting the plates, then shredding the mechanism. Maybe better for .177 than 90+ FPE PCP .22

Consider getting an actual .22 rimfire tree.

I like the way it was made

the springs are to strong to push over even with my MPX range of 18 ft I am going to put lighter spring or cut this one down

The concept

The size & strength. Read the dimensions, this thing is far smaller than what I had expected from previous experiences with other siimilar types.

In my opinion this target is not even viable. If it works at all, it would appear to be limited to a narrow band of power range. Reviews revealed that low power guns are not capable of actuating the mechanism, while higher power guns bend the metal & brake the spot welds. After assembly, knowing that it seemed to be of light construction, I placed it out at 70 yards & fired my 22 cal PCP rifle at it. Even though the power of my rifle severely damaged the target paddles by bending the light material & braking spot welds, it still failed to opperate correctly. I am returning it & would definately not recommend it to others.

Heavy base holds it in place very well.

Strong welds.

A 1000fps 0.177 isn't going to move this target. A 600fps 0.22 broke it's welds.

Good idea works with bigger air guns

I'm not sure how but make it work with the crossman 1077

It take more than advertised to flip the paddle my beeman r7 can't do it and if I'm remembering right its shooting a 7.9 cphp at around 700 fps

Easy to assemble with tools included

Nothing, everything included.

Remember for lead pellets only. 177 or 22

Its a nice little dualin tree

Nothing

Mine only works with a.22 Crossman pump not a co2 pistol unless Im Maybe 7-8 yards

Plan is good

2 of the 4 spring hinges were broken with 2 hrs shooting @ 25 yds w/ P rod

Don't buy! Maybe this is a BB target!

Comes packed very well, easy to put together then let the fun begin. This target takes alittle bit of pop to get it to move but man is it fun and when u hit it makes a nice audible Ding and you see the paddle move. Well made sturdy and will last a lifetime lifetime. Get one you will not be disappointed

Maybe offer one that has more targets and is a bit taller

You will need to be close if your air gun is 12 foot pounds or under. Does take a bit of power to move them. Dont be afraid to drill them with your pcp your not going to hurt them at proper ranges. And remember to have fun. Me and my buddy to speed shooting and make bets lol dollar dollar Bill's yall

I have purchased several air gun targeting systems ,and find this one to be sturdy, reliable and a good value.

Nothing..

i like everything

it would be nice if you have 4-5 feet tall of that and more target

its perfect for two friends or family members to compete with one another. assembly was easy. i compete with my grandsons and usually lose. i felt the price was right on the mark.

wouldn't change anything.

very happy with this target. would recommend it to anyone.

The basic concept is great

The bracket should have been welded instead of a simple spot weld

After 6 shots the spot weld broke and a second one broke after 10 shots rewrlded all of them with my mig welder

I got this during a special promotion just before Christmas. Just got a chance to use it... It's a ton of fun. My 12 year old grandson enjoyed going against me.... and winning... more than once... LOL

Somehow make it easier to put together and swap out the paddles if needed???

It's a little tricky to put together with the small machine screws and nuts, but it's managable with the right tools. Socket, set, driver, pliers, etc. all came in handy.

I like the stability and concept. Good construction materials. Works well.

There is a bracket that is welded on each of the 4 sets of paddles. The first unit I had, one of the welded brackets popped off. This made that one set of paddles inoperable. This should be a stronger weld or screwed instead of welded. Just don't shoot at it too close or with too strong a gun/pellet and it should be ok.

PA was very good about replacing the first unit that broke.

It's easy to assemble, small, and light

I would not change anything. It is a light duty duelling tree and works flawlessly

I received this product in December and finally had a chance to take it out and run it through it's paces. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. My Crosman 140 knocked the plates over with authority. I had the spring adjustment set about half way. I would definitely not exceed the recommended maximum energy though, my 140 was dimpling the plates at 15 yards. It's hitting right about 8 lb/ft. Don't be surprised when the white paint flakes off the plates, you will definitely need a can of spray paint after a shooting session. That is to be expected from any metal target. It's perfect for a little plinking in the back yard. Just keep shooting, no running back and forth to the target. Targets are perfect size to practice your off hand shooting. Would definitely recommend to any airgun shooter. Well worth the price.

It was great . . . until it broke. The welds on the back failed under pressure of the pellets hitting it. However, in Air Venturi defense, I did not see the 22ft/lbs warning on the PA site (I received this as a Christmas present) or on the box. No ones fault but my own. I will own it. Upside, I have a good friend who welds.

Overall, the weight and design, the function worked well. It was a lot of fun! I think they could of upped the ft/lbs restriction to 30ft/lbs for a few $$ more.

Pay heed to the 22 ft/lbs at the muzzle warning! My first 10rnd magazine were Crossman Premier, 14.30grn pellets out of a M-Rod (figure 850fps = 22.9ft/lbs at the muzzle according to ChairGun) @37yrds. Then I had some loose pellets laying around and they were of mixed weights. Hence it broke.
