dueling
A duel is an arranged engagement in combat between two people, with matched weapons, in accordance with agreed-upon rules. Duels in this form were chiefly practiced in early modern Europe with precedents in the medieval code of chivalry, and continued into the modern period (18th to late 19th centuries, if not beyond) especially among military officers.
During the 17th and 18th centuries (and earlier), duels were mostly fought with swords (the rapier, and later the small sword), but beginning in the late 18th century in England, duels were more commonly fought using pistols. Fencing and pistol duels continued to co-exist throughout the 19th century.
The duel was based on a code of honor. Duels were fought not so much to kill the opponent as to gain "satisfaction", that is, to restore one's honor by demonstrating a willingness to risk one's life for it, and as such the tradition of dueling was originally reserved for the male members of nobility; however, in the modern era it extended to those of the upper classes generally. On occasion, duels with pistols or swords were fought between women.Legislation against dueling goes back to the medieval period. The Fourth Council of the Lateran (1215) outlawed duels, and civil legislation in the Holy Roman Empire against dueling was passed in the wake of the Thirty Years' War.
From the early 17th century, duels became illegal in the countries where they were practiced. Dueling largely fell out of favor in England by the mid-19th century and in Continental Europe by the turn of the 20th century. Dueling declined in the Eastern United States in the 19th century and by the time the American Civil War broke out, dueling had begun to wane even in the
South. Public opinion, not legislation, caused the change. Research has linked the decline of dueling to increases in state capacity.
This listing is for a pair of rare and unique salt and pepper shakers.
There were manufactured sometime between the late 1940's and early 1950's.
They are in the shape of antique dueling pistols or flintlock guns. Both shakers are made of metal and appear to be chrome plated.

I have a dueling tree with 8 paddles. It is 28 inches tall and 15 inches across. I have only used 22 rimfire on it, with one exception where a friend chipped one paddle with a 223! Not sure what he was thinking, but the chip/hole is minor. Paid over $200.00, asking $50.00 cash. Gary.
Cleaning out dad's basement and found 6 finished 6"x3/8" plates and 21 6"x1/2" unfinished plates. They could probably be used to make some nice plate racks. My dad never did stuff cheap so I'm guessing it's all AR500 but he's gone so I can't be sure. A couple of the finished plates have been...

A tree target with circular paddle targets, which flip over easily whether you hit them dead center in the middle or on the outside edge. Add magazine change outs, movement, and a secondary target to the mix and you have an endless shooting skills improvement system.
