Dueling Tree's

[banks74]

For those unfamiliar with AR500 thickness ratings, is this only suitable for .22lr, or could one use handgun calibers as well?

Both our Heavy and Light Tree's are suitable for handgun calibers. The (lite) 1/4" AR500 tree is a little better suited for smaller handgun calibers. The plates swing more reliably with a single hit on these thinner plates. On our (heavy) 3/8" AR550 tree, this works well with all handgun calibers including magnums. (on the smaller calibers, they may not always swing the plates with a single hit) We also have a lot of customers who use these with center fire rifles with great results! (The plates hold up great!)

When you you say smaller Calipers, .22 small or is 9mm gonna struggle to swing them as well?

A .22 is gonna struggle to swing either tree. (Rim fire plates will be coming the near future!) On our lite tree a 9mm will work great! (9mm, .380, 38sp. to name a few work great on the lite tree) On the heavy tree it will still work good, it just might not always be able to swing the flapper with a single hit. It depends on the distance, ammo, fps etc.
