Abstract: The portable shooting range comprises two telescoping poles, two lines, and two clips. The telescoping poles are T-shaped and each pole provides a pulley hanging off of each end of a crossbar. The bottom of each telescoping pole is pointed for insertion into the ground and an upright provides a pair of foot braces located just above the point for pressing the pole into the ground. The telescoping poles are pressed into the ground separated by a pole separation distance and with their crossbars parallel to each other. The two lines are strung between a pulley on each pole such that each line forms a loop and the loops are parallel to each other. A clip is coupled to each line. Each clip may be used to couple a target to the line and the target may be moved downrange by pulling on the line.
Abstract: A line management system for an outrigger structure is provided for guiding outrigger cords through cord passages to maintain an independent longitudinal displacement in order to prevent entanglement. The system includes a plurality of outrigger cords, cord management units, and retention devices. The plurality of cord management units are coupled to the outrigger structure and are longitudinally spaced one from the other along the outrigger structure. Each of the cord management units defines a plurality of transversely offset cord passages respectively guiding predetermined ones of outrigger cords to maintain an independent longitudinal displacement relative to the outrigger structure.
Abstract: A system includes a first cable support, a second cable support, a first cable and a second cable. The first cable is moveably mounted between the first cable support and the second cable support. The system also includes a supporting structure supported by the first cable and by the second cable, wherein the supporting structure is connected to the first moveable cable to move with the first moveable cable.

Abstract: A clothesline system comprises at least two separate cables that are independently tensionable through separate cable tensioning devices. The tension devices are attached together to provide for common, parallel movement of the separate cables though the cables are separately passed around separate pulleys at the both ends of the system. The two separate cables add strength to the system. The separate cables are preferably wound in left and right windings to prevent unraveling of the braid of the cable. By providing separate cables, assembly of the system is less complex as the two loops of cable are separate.
