    deuling tree recommendations

    After watching Top Shot my interest in dueling trees has been rekindled. I want both 22 lr and centerfire pistol models. I have 2 from Do All I believe for 22 lr and could never get them to work right, they would sometimes have the paddles go halfway back or rebound back to the original...
