A target holding system is configured to hold a target struck by a bullet. The target holding system has a first bracket, connected to a second bracket with a first lateral support and a second lateral support. A central plate is connected to the first bracket and the second bracket and further comprising a first side first opening and a second side first opening. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the first bracket and the second bracket and further comprising a first side slot and a second side slot. The target further comprises a central stem connected to a circular target, a first side leg and a second side leg. In a first mode of operation, the first side leg is slid through the first side slot and into the first side first opening while the second side leg is slid through second side slot and into the second side first opening. When the bullet strikes the circular target, the central stem remains upright. In a second mode of operation, the first side leg is slid through the first side slot and is adjacent to the central plate while the second side leg is slid through the second side slot and is adjacent to the central plate. When the bullet strikes the circular target, the central stem moves rotationally and downward.
