         8 . The target holder system of  claim 5 , wherein the bracket system further comprises:
 at least one slot, disposed on the target section outer surface;   the at least one target attachment having an attachment base, which attachment base corresponds to fit within the target section outer surface slot; and   wherein the target attachment is affixed to the target section outer surface by means of the slot.   
     
     
         9 . The target holder system of  claim 8 , wherein the target attachment further comprises:
 a female threaded bottle port extending distally from the attachment base, the female threaded bottle port corresponding to male threaded throats of disposable bottles, such that the disposable bottles may be threadedly connectable with the female threaded bottle port.   
     
     
         10 . The target holder system of  claim 9 , wherein the target attachment further comprises:
 a clip adapter comprising:   a threaded base, having threads which correspond to the female threaded bottle port; and   a spring-operated clip extending from the threaded base opposite the threads, wherein the adapter is threadedly connectable to the female threaded bottle port.   
     
     
         11 . The target holder system of  claim 9 , wherein the target attachment further comprises:
 a frame adapter comprising:
 a threaded base, having threads which correspond to the female threaded bottle port; and 
 a wire frame having tabs disposed along the edges of the frame, such that targets may be affixed to the tabs, wherein the frame adapter is threadedly connectable to the female threaded bottle port. 
   
     
     
         12 . The target holder system of  claim 9 , wherein the target attachment further comprises:
 a rod adapter comprising:
 a threaded base, having threads which correspond to the female threaded bottle port, and a rod receiver disposed within the center of the threaded base; 
 the rod receiver having an outer diameter smaller than that of the threaded base outer diameter; 
 an adapter rod having a thread end and a shooting end; 
 the rod also having threads disposed on the thread end, which threads correspond to the rod receiver; and 
 wherein targets may be selectively attachable to the rod shooting end, wherein the rod adapter is threadedly connectable to the female threaded bottle port. 
   
     
     
         13 . A bracket system for a target holder, comprising:
 at least one bracket, having a target section extending longitudinally and a support section, also extending longitudinally, substantially perpendicular to the target section;   the target section having an inner surface and an outer surface opposite the inner surface;   at least one target attachment affixed to the bracket target section outer surface; and   at least one target affixed to the target attachment.   
     
     
         14 . The bracket system of  claim 13 , wherein:
 the bracket system is attached to a stationary object;   the bracket support section has at least one through-hole;   the bracket system attached to the stationary object by means of fasteners;   wherein the fasteners secure the bracket support section to the stationary object using the at least one through-hole.
