  • (a) an upright having upper and lower ends;

    (b) a base capable of stable disposition both on a hard and on a soft surface, said base comprising alternative capture means for slidably receiving the lower end of said upright and maintaining said upright in a perpendicular orientation;

    (c) an elongated horizontal arm from which to suspend the target;

    (d) a brace positionable on said upright while supporting said horizontal arm in a perpendicular relation thereto; and

    (e) a hanger adapted to suspend from said horizontal arm a clay target of the type cast by trap and skeet shooting equipment and displaying a major surface circumscribed at the periphery thereof by a perpendicular lip, said hanger comprising;

    (i) an upper lobe adapted to interact with said horizontal arm to suspend the hanger downwardly therefrom;

    (ii) an elongated shaft having first and second ends, said shaft being attached at said first end thereof to said upper lobe; and

    (iii) a lower lobe of unitary construction rigidly attached to said second end of said shaft, said lower lobe comprising resilient means for gripping the lip of the clay target at a chosen location along the lip with a compressive force directed parallel to said shaft, said resilient means comprising a clasp adapted to receive the lip of the clay target and having an entrance smaller than the thickness of the lip.
