    Abstract: The flagpole having decorative sporting equipment section comprises a pole that incorporates a decorative section into its design. The decorative section is functional because it substitutes for a portion of the pole and provides elevation for a flag. The decorative section may be the topmost portion of the flagpole or it may divide the pole into an upper pole and a lower pole with the decorative section in the middle. The flagpole having decorative sporting equipment section may provide a path through the center of the flagpole for a portion of the halyard to travel. The decorative section may be designed to resemble a sporting object such as a lever rifle. A section of the rifle resembling a gun sight may comprise a light source to provide illumination for the flag at night.
