The Double Falling Tree is a system we don’t talk about much... but we should.⁠
⁠
We designed, manufactured, and patented this epic system back in 2016/2017. The best way to describe this system is a Dueling Tree, but with an amazing twist. The paddles drop each time you successfully rotate them. Your skill building commences the moment you begin training.⁠

Word on the street is this gentleman still won’t buy the targets from us that he never even bought from us to begin with. ⁠

Forward Lean Angle: There is a debate and misunder

Forward Lean Angle: There is a debate and misunderstanding about this physical characteristic of steel targets that we see often. We are FIRM believers that targets should exhibit SOME amount of forward lean. ⁠
⁠
When a bullet strikes a flat plane (no lean angle), that fragmentation follows the surface in a 360 degree "fan". The maximum deflection, when using quality steel, will usually be about 15 degrees in all directions for a flat plate. It's for this reason that standing at proper distances mitigates risk of fragmentation, even with systems with less lean angle. This doesn't mean lean angle is unimportant, and we will explain. Where MOST people find fragmentation coming back to shooters is from: ⁠
⁠
- Brackets that wrap around the side of the target⁠
- Dimpled targets (Either misused steel or poor quality steel)⁠
- Targets standing directly beside another system⁠
- Concrete, rock, or hard ground surfaces⁠
- Flat ledges in the vicinity of where the fragmentation goes immediately after hitting plate (angles, brackets, or other bad designs). ⁠
⁠
Forward lean can be achieved by brackets with proper design AND/OR movement when struck. Both achieve the end goal of dissipating / transferring the kinetic energy of the bullet into some other form of energy i.e. movement. The goal here is to take that mass of energy (the bullet), break it up into smaller masses (the fragments), then through the plate moving and the forward lean, sending it harmlessly down to the ground (Transferring the energy). More lean + more movement = better energy transfer and fragmentation redirection. ⁠
⁠
But: Having forward lean WITHOUT proper steel is JUST as dangerous as running poor quality steel flat. Eventually, your targets will shoot back at you. ⁠
⁠
Shown in this photo are two C Zone 1/2" AR550 A-DAP systems. One is set to a nearly flat setting, one is set to almost 45 degrees. The beauty of the A-DAP system is you can choose your forward lean angle based upon your needs. They safely direct fragmentation to the ground, even when used close range with rifle calibers. ⁠

Did you know the tip of an M855A1 measures around

Did you know the tip of an M855A1 measures around 58HRC? That can translate to a brinell hardness of about 625+/-.

The M2 core can measure as high as 64-65HRC, or over 700 on the brinell scale. 😳

Our AR550 A-DAP steel targets are a lower Brinell than either of those rounds, yet they defeat these rounds in all situations without even being phased.

I found myself today thinking about life and the challenges surrounding you and I. Often, we feel like we face impossible enemies and opponents. Circumstance, failures, shame, and many things we cannot control seem like they own us, they control us. They seem impossible to defeat.

These rounds look nasty. On the surface they seem that they would be incredibly difficult to defeat. The same can be said with the M2 and M80A1. They’re intimidating. So why don’t they defeat our plates?

Because we, as their designer and creators, built them specifically to be able to weather those impacts. It took years of development, tons of money, and a lot of failure to find the right design. We created them specifically to stand in the face of that storm.

Your life is no different. You face very real struggles and challenges. But you were built to handle it, you are created for a very real purpose. It may take years, it may be painful, but you are meant to stand against and overcome whatever you face. When you finally come to realize that YOU are valuable, that YOU have purpose, you may begin to realize that it’s worth the struggle and fight. You were created for it because through it you’ll find your potential.
