The invention discloses a target holder used in shooting, comprising an elongated stake (210, 510, 610), having an upper part extending parallel to the longitudinal axle of the stake, which upper part has an edge (233) receiving the first side of the target, and, as an extension of the upper part, a lower part having a bottom part that is arranged for mounting the stake to the ground or to a platform, as well as attachment means for attaching the target.

The present invention relates to systems and methods for accurately and safely directing the movement of shooting range targets, and more specifically, to provide self-calibration and synchronicity to programmable target carriers and automatically resetting targets.

A shooting target stand is configured for use with a target, such as commercially available bottles. The stand includes a base that supports a retaining section having opposed surfaces in which a retaining aperture is disposed therethrough. The neck of the target is received through the retaining aperture, whereupon the bottle is supported above a support surface, such as in a substantially horizontal orientation.

A clay pigeon target support apparatus comprises an open ring formed of a thin, rigid, elastic material configured to provide resilient support to grip a clay pigeon target around an outer or inner diameter of a circular ridge disposed on a forward face of the clay pigeon target. First and second ends of the open ring are disposed substantially along radii of the ring separated by an acute angle. A support member integral with the first end of the open ring extends outward from the first end substantially along a radial of the open ring. Spring tension exerted by the resilient open ring upon the clay pigeon target retains the clay pigeon target within the open ring.

A firearm target hanger comprising an upper portion and a lower portion connected to the upper portion, the upper portion being adapted to be connected to a target hanger carrier that travels away from and towards a shooter, and the lower portion having spaced apart appendages adapted to be connected to a target. The target hanger comprises a single bent rod that forms the upper portion and the lower portion, and the upper portion has spaced apart lower ends to which the lower portion is attached.
