The TARGET ROPE is a new and innovative target holder for shooting sports that enhances the pleasure of casual, informal, and rural target shooters, by reducing the effort and increasing the satisfaction shooters derive from their hobby. The TARGET ROPE employs modern synthetic materials to create the first new idea in target holders in decades. The inventor has conducted extensive testing under actual field conditions with a dozen or more witnesses. The shoot-through polyethylene sticks and the range of motion of the TARGET ROPE are an improvement over other target holders in terms of capacity, portability, durability and affordability. Capacity The TARGET ROPE has the capacity to hold multiple targets (sixty or more) on the standard twelve stick model. Portability The lightweight structure and portability of the TARGET ROPE, which weighs less than a pound, is so evident that the inventor feels obliged to demonstrate the durability of his product. The simplicity of implementation is almost instinctive to any coherent adult. Durability People who have observed the TARGET ROPE sticks resilience to projectile damage are astounded that such a slender stick can survive impact with projectiles wider than the stick itself. As evidence of the durability of the TARGET ROPE, the inventor has in his possession, a 6.35 mm wide stick that survived a nearly central piercing with a 7.62 mm wide hollow point projectile. This type of survivability has been demonstrated on every occasion of impact and has never failed. To date, no polyethylene stick has ever failed after more than one hundred intentional impacts and dozens of unintentional impacts. Projectile impacts cause damage to the sticks of the TARGET ROPE, but all impacted sticks have remained serviceable. These damaged sticks have been retained as substantiation of the durability of the TARGET ROPE design by the inventor. Affordability The simplicity of the TARGET ROPE lends itself to fast and simple manufacture and is very affordable. The intended price of the TARGET ROPE is twenty-five dollars in 2005.
