I've used cable and chain, even snowmobile belts. Just depends if I'm hanging off a rock cliff , tree, or a pipe A frame.

Sounds like fun

Decommissioned fire supply hose cut into strips.  Holds up very well and will take a lot of rounds before it give up the ghost.  I use case hardened bolts with large washers and a spacer (extra nuts) behind the target and before the hose / strap to allow the target to hang at an angle.  Helps deflect all bullets straight down.  I dig a pit under the target to bare dirt to cut down on risk of fire.

That's kind of hard on the trees.

T-post and a shepherd hook worked well.

Marysville Rifle's setup for what it's worth.  They take quite a beating.
