A portable, remote controlled moving target device for throwing practice which includes a support cable for supporting and carrying a target on an adjustable target support. The adjustable target support includes a hollow upper stem portion and a hollow lower stem portion with a spring within the hollow stem portions that forces the two stem portions together and allows the user to adjust the position the angle or position between the target and the support cable. The adjustable target support is pulled along the support cable by an endless cable loop that is driven by a motor. A remote control transmitter and receiver are used for controlling the motor so that a player or user can interact with the target device and stop and reverse the motion of the target from the field, and thus allows the player to repeat target plays as desired or quickly stop the motion of the target in the event of an emergency. The entire device only uses two vertical supports that can easily be taken down and reassembled in a new field for practice.

A device for moving a target having a surface to be aimed at by an individual throwing an object at the target surface, the device comprising: a support cable and means attaching a target to said support cable, said means attaching a target being adjustable on said support cable and having means for manual adjustment of said target surface to a desired angle relative to said support cable; means for allowing said means attaching to be pulled along said support cable; said means for manual adjustment comprising a stem portion connecting said target to said means attaching; said stem comprising: a hollow upper stem portion attached to said support means, and a hollow lower stem portion attached to the target; spring means biasing said hollow lower stem portion against said hollow upper stem portion, so that adjustments of said angle of said target relative to said support cable means can be made by rotating said hollow lower stem portion relative to said hollow upper stem portion and so that said spring means will bias said hollow lower stem portion against said hollow upper stem portion so that a relative position between said lower stem portion and said upper stem portion is maintained when manually set; and means for moving said means attaching along said support cable, so that an individual may adjust said angle of said target relative to said support cable before said target is transported along said support cable, and so that said target surface will be at an orientation normal to a trajectory of an object thrown at said target when said target is at at least one position along the support cable.
